Feast Or Fired recap before the results are revealed. Busted Open host Dace LaGreca presides over the unveiling backstage, but first a commercial.

Replay of Team 3D reunion last week.

Briefcase reveal in numerical order: 1-Crazzy Steve gets Impact Digital Media Championship shot. 2-Moose gets Impact World Championship shot, but he (and everyone else except Steve) wanted Impact Tag Team Championship Match. 3-Chris Bey gets Impact Tag Team Championship Match. Which means…4-Yuya Uemura gets FIRED. JOYA ends almost as soon as it began. Uemura is probably headed back to New Japan Pro Wrestling and this may be the end of his Young Lion training excursion.

Match 4: Josh Alexander beat Trey Miguel. Zachary Wentz interfered late but got laid out by Alex Shelley outside the ring right before the end. Afterwards, Alexander with microphone. He called out Shelley for finally being in his corner this time after not being there before. Shelley responded that he wanted to hurt them, not help him. Alexander says he’s taking the Impact World Championship back at Bound For Glory. But don’t forget Moose now has a title shot as well.

Official for Bound For Glory: Mike Bailey vs. Will Ospreay. Backstage, Jonathan Gresham hooks up with Bailey to check on him ahead of that match. Then they talk Feast Or Fired as Gresham says he’s back to go for the Impact World Championship and have clean matches, taking a shot at Rascalz. Bailey then says he’s going to talk to management about making yet another match against Gresham.

John Skyler confronts Rascalz about getting an Impact Tag Team Championship match. Austin & Bey interrupt as they’ve now got another shot themselves. Skyler isn’t buying it but Rascalz snuck out.

Next week: Impact X Division Champion Chris Sabin vs. Alan Angels for the title, Tommy Dreamer & Heath vs. Kenny King & Sheldon Jean in a Memphis Street Fight, Bailey-Gresham & Yuya Uemura’s goodbye ceremony. (Plans could change but it’s worth noting Uemura vs. Josh Alexander has been advertised over the last week or so for Saturday’s TV tapings)

The next TV tapings are tomorrow & Saturday in Nashville, TN and will take the promotion to the Bound For Glory PPV in October.

Here are the quick results from tonight’s Impact Wresting from White Plains. NY:

This episode was taped Saturday and is the landmark 1000th episode of the promotion’s weekly TV show. It will be an extended (longer than 2 hours) special and will be a 2-part event with part 2 next week.

The YouTube pre-show match was KiLynn King vs. Jody Threat.

Impact President Scott D’Amore opens the show in the ring. He briefly puts Team Canada over then shifts to putting the Knockouts over, then brings out Gail Kim. She will have her first match in 4+ years next week. Kim introduces a video package highlighting the history of the Knockouts division. Afterwards, D’Amore starts to talk before being interrupted by The Beautiful People (Angelina Love & Velvet Sky. Angelina’s still ripped, quite the washboard abs). As things tease getting physical, Gisele Shaw interrupts. With Savannah Evans & Jai Vidal in tow of course. Shaw puts The Beautiful People over but it’s a veiled dig at them of course. Their impending blowup brings out Jordynne Grace. She equally puts over past Knockouts and buries certain ones today and then out comes Deonna Purrazzo. She gets in a few words about championships and that brings out Trinity, the current Knockouts World Champion. Then, not to be left out…Awesome Kong returns! Commentary got cut off talking about Kong during her entrance by a commercial. Raisha Saeed seconded Kong. But we’re not done yet-Tasha Steelz is back too! She talks the 10-woman tag match next week and puts it over before…HARDCORE COUNTRY! The return of Mickie James! And now we’ve got both sides of the match in the ring. Kim, Kong, Trinity, Grace & James vs. Love, Sky, Shaw, Purrazzo & Steelz.

Chris Harris & James Storm visit with Eric Young as Santino Marella joins in just before Shark Boy drops in. Literally by dropping a beer bottle. Shark Boy is named Deputy D.O.A. for the next couple weeks.

Match 1: In Feast Or Fired, where there were 4 briefcases-3 have title shot contracts, but one has a pink slip meaning whoever gets that one is fired, the briefcases were retrieved by (in order of retrieval and making it out of the ring with possession of the case) Chris Bey (#3), Crazzy Steve (#1), Yuya Uemura (#4), Moose (#2) who caught it when Rhino GORED Steve Maclin. The briefcases will be opened later in the show.

Chris Sabin interviewed backstage.

Rohit Raju & Raj Singh in the ring. With microphones. But they were quickly interrupted by the reunited Team 3D (Brother Ray [Bully Ray] & Brother Devon).

Match 2: Team 3D beat Raj Singh & Rohit Raju. Devon pinned Singh after 3D.

Josh Alexander comes across Rascalz leaving a mess in a hallway. He indirectly challenges them to a handicap match.

After commercial, Alexander hits the ring. With microphone. He lays the groundwork for an Impact World Championship match which brings out Alex Shelley. He immediately shoots down Alexander. But they seem to be making the match official when Rascalz hit the ring for the beatdown. After the first time they get fought off, a second beatdown on Alexander causes Shelley to bail.

Shark Boy confronts Rascalz backstage, and makes Trey Miguel vs. Alexander for next week. Santino catches up with Boy just as Kenny King & Sheldon Jean barge in. King wants his Impact Digital Media Championship rematch tonight but Santino says no. Instead, Santino makes King vs. Eric Young for next week.

Match 3: Frankie Kazarian & Traci Brooks beat Eddie & Alisha Edwards. Brooks pinned Alisha after Fade To Black. Afterwards, a video plays announcing that Brooks will be inducted into the Impact Wrestling Hall Of Fame at Bound For Glory.

Tommy Dreamer promo.

Main Event: Chris Sabin beat Impact X Division Champion Lio Rush to become THE NEW IMPACT X DIVISION CHAMPION! 10-time! This was a commercial-free overrun on the AXS TV broadcast, which meant a 15-20 minute uninterrupted overrun (it added 20 minutes extra to the YouTube version).

Next week: Ultimate X, The Knockouts 10-woman tag, Alexander-Miguel, Young-King and Jake Something vs. Dirty Dango, plus the Feast Or Fired results with Busted Open host Dave LaGreca. I’m thinking Fired will be Yuya Uemura and he’ll return to New Japan. JOYA ends as quick as it started?

Impact Wrestling runs their monthly live event, Victory Road, tonight to start a huge weekend for the promotion that includes the taping of their landmark 1000th TV episode tomorrow (that episode will air Thursday). As usual there are a lot of big matches tonight that may spill into next week’s TV and beyond-the first big return tonight is Jordynne Grace. Now that Deonna Purrazzo is no longer Knockouts Champion Grace can get back in the title picture (Grace previously lost a match with a stip that she could never get another title shot while Purrazzo was champion), and ironically that path goes through Purrazzo tonight while current champion Trinity defends the title against Alisha Edwards, who sneakily screwjobbed her way into the title shot via a battle royal win. Elsewhere, the previously anticipated Josh Alexander-Steve Maclin showdown happens tonight, while not for the Impact World Championship the winner could be next in line. Among the other scheduled title matches are Lio Rush defending the X Division Championship against KUSHIDA and Motor City Machine Guns challenging Rascalz for the Impact Tag Team Championship. And Tommy Dreamer competes in what could be his final match when he challenges Kenny King for the Impact Digital Media Championship as Dreamer is putting his career on the line.

Today’s event will be held at Westchester Country Center in White Plains, NY and can be watched LIVE on Impact+ (subscription required), YouTube (Ultimate Insider subscription requited) and FITE ($9.99, includes live broadcast and unlimited on demand replays). There will also be a FREE 30-minute pre-show on all 3 platforms before the event. Including the pre-show this should be a standard monthly live event with a total runtime of approx. 3 1/2 hours.

The YouTube pre-show match was Gisele Shaw vs. Heather Reckless.

Trinity opens the show.She cut a passionate, celebratory promo until Deonna Purrazzo interrupted. She took a WWE-style shot by claiming she didn’t quit unlike Trinity…even though Purrazzo tapped out at Slammiversary. Things got heated before Taylor Wilde & KiLynn King interrupted. King with microphone. They’re not happy Trinity & Purrazzo start the show. King also claimed Trinity got lucky to beat her in Trinity’s Impact debut last time they were in Chicago. Wilde with microphone. She hates that Trinity beat The Coven. Trinity throws it down. King tosses tarot cards at Trinity and The Coven beatdown is on before Purrazzo steps in as security rushes out to break it up. Then Santino Marella comes out. He makes the tag match for tonight-Trinity & Purrazzo vs. The Coven. Trinity & Purrazzo talk Marella into making it happen RIGHT NOW! Security clears out and a ref comes out as we go to commercial to get it set up.

Recap posts are scheduled to resume on either 8/24 or 8/31 but I hopefully can also do live results for Emergence.
