JAZZ LOSES TITLE VS. CAREER MATCH AT IMPACT HARDCORE JUSTICE

 

Jazz lost to Deonna Purrazzo in the career vs. title match that aired this afternoon at Hardcore Justice.

The finish had Jazz going for offense, but eventually fell to Purrazzo’s Queen’s Gambit. Jazz had put up her career on the line when Tommy Dreamer told her she had to put something up for her match against Purrazzo. Prior to her run in Impact Wrestling, she had been on a retirement tour.

Jazz started to regularly appear in Impact Wrestling last fall. She teamed with Jordynne Grace in the Knockouts Tag Team Championship tournament, but the team was eliminated in the second round. Last month at Sacrifice, she and Grace lost to the Knockouts Tag Team Champions Fire 'n' Flava (Tasha Steelz and Kiera Hogan).

In a match that took place earlier in the show, Tenille Dashwood became the number one contender for the Knockouts title, defeating Rosemary, Alisha Edwards, Havok, Jordynne Grace, and the returning Su Yung. As a result, she will face Purrazzo at Rebellion, Impact's next pay-per-view, on April 25.

The finish to the hardcore match had Grace hitting a Vader bomb on Havok, but Kaleb with a K pulled her out of the ring, allowing Dashwood to come in and steal the pin.

Eric Bischoff On AEW Working With Impact: “Does Anybody Give A F**k?” (LMAO!)

 

WWE Hall of Famer Eric Bischoff appeared on Everything Is…with Kory and Ant on the Woodward Sports Network to discuss the possibility of AEW and WWE working together.

“No, I don’t see it,” Bischoff said. “Oh, and not for the reason that people think. Look, when I was in WWE the last time — as an executive for four months — that was right when WWE had just signed a deal with FOX three months before I got there. And so, WWE had a show on FOX and a show on USA Network. Well, these are two different companies. They’re not gonna do anything to try to help each other. They’re not, you know. It was big issue when I was there. FOX wanted their talent to be exclusive to their network. USA wanted their talent to be exclusive to that network.

“And they didn’t want a lot of talent crossing over, that’s the way networks are. If a network is going to use their platform to build a star, they don’t want to invest — because they’re investing too. They’re paying money every week for that show to be on their network. They own that real estate, so to speak, and as that talent emerges on their real estate, they don’t want that talent going over and helping another network that they’re not related to.”

Bischoff continued that he felt AEW would benefit more than WWE would if they traded their biggest stars.

“That’s like you putting the biggest star, Roman Reigns, on AEW,” Bischoff stated. “That would work out better for them than you putting somebody like Kenny Omega in a WWE. That won’t move the number for them … It’s not beneficial.”

The conversation then flowed to AEW’s current working relationship with Impact Wrestling. Bischoff didn’t mince his words about the two companies partnering up over the last few months.

“I’m sorry, does anybody give a f***?” Bischoff laughs. “I don’t. And guess what? Just because I don’t, doesn’t mean it doesn’t makes sense, but if you look at the ratings for Impact and you look at the ratings for AEW, I stand by what I said. Nobody gives a f***. It hasn’t changed anything.”

And I said the same thing ever since they started doing it. And of course the ratings show? I was right, and 'the marks' hate the fact I was right, again, or... As usual. 

Kenny Omega SHOCKED (Not Really) by Rich Swann in Historic Main Event! | IMPACT! Highlights April 8, 2021

 

The tradition of moves badly missing continues with Rich Swann's running elbow blatantly not coming close to Kenny Omega, and Omega 'selling' it. I guess it must be a quota or something in Impact that every match, HAS to have at least one move that misses horribly. Nice to see Swann keeps the quota going. 

I guess not trying to at least DO, the move correctly is a concept nobody wants to conceive here in Impact. 

Oh wait, we bypassed the quota with Omega's lame hurracarana that wasn't even ;'sold' correctly.

You're supposed to hit the mat after getting the move, not bounce up and smack yourself into a corner, dumb ass. 

I swear, a REAL wrestling school for some of these 'wrestlers' would actually be, a good thing. It's obvious they need it. 

And nope,. here's the third bad move. Swann's Phoenix splash missed so badly, but his opponent HAD to 'sell' a horribly done move. Impact becomes Backyard Wrestling now, eh? 

And THIS, was supposed to be a 'main event'. ECW's Blood Feast 93 I'm gonna be watching after seeing this shit, will have more matches that qualify as 'main event', than this shit. 

I'd say this was good, but that'd be an insult to everything that qualifies under the word 'good'.

Sami Callihan & Trey Miguel TEAM UP?! (Whirls Finger saying 'Whoopie") | IMPACT! Highlights April 8, 2021

 

I don't see how or why Sami Callihan is pushed and hyped so much. I really don't. he doesn't nothing for me, mic wise, or talent (what there is of it) wise. There's nothing there except the feeling of me wanting to watch something else every time I see him. 

Typical Trey doing highs pots that have no psychology here. Like a fucking acrobatic routine more than a wrestling match. 

Larry D "sells" way better than Trey. But I guess that's the difference in who was trained correctly (Larry D), and who wasn't (Trey).

Someone really should get the balls to tell Trey that 'selling' is a good thing. Since nobody in Impact has the balls to do that, I just did it for them.

You can thank me now. :)

I love how Sammi 'sells' a clothesline by Ace Romero that totally missed him, LMAO! It's so fucking obvious that it didn't even come close, but there's ol Sami, 'selling' it, LMAO!

What is it with wrestlers at Impact not doing moves correctly? Is that the 'new thing' now? Just be lazy as fuck since Impact is gonna pay you no matter what? 

Again, all these cheers but not one fan to be found cheering. (shakes head). They really don't put alot of thought into this show. 

This wasn't bad. But it wasn't good either.

Jazz vs Susan: BTI April 8, 2021 | IMPACT Wrestling

 

I love how wrestlers on this show come to the ring, walk around the ring to 'cheers', but there isn't one fan at the show cheering, LOL!

Make it obvious you're piping in the cheers why don't you. 

Whoever considers jazz to be a 'legend' really has no clue as to what a legend really is. SHE, doesn't qualify.. Sherri Martel, Candi Devine, Medusa, Wendy Richtor, THOSE are legends.

Isn't his the same Jazz that 'retired' for like two weeks because nobody anywhere was willing to booker her? Yep, sure is.

Funny how when someone finally feels sorry for her and offers her a job, that 'retirement' sure gets thrown out the window with a quickness, eh? 

Susan in the opening minutes of the match, 'sells' way better than most of the men on the Impact, AEW and WWE rosters. DAMN.. Does that say alot.

Jazz has influenced so many wrestlers, male and female? BWAHAHAHAHAHA! In what universe is that true? Please, name five people she's influenced. I'll wait....

I'll be waiting a very long time for that answer. 

Jazz's throws on Susan out of the corner looked lame as fuck. Like she wasn't even TRYING, or WANTING to do the move correctly. Is this how she's supposedly 'influenced' people? Influence them to do moves in the worst manner possible?

Susan is bashed face first into the steel ring steps but no blood, no bruise.. MMM, MMM, MMM..

Thank God I only watch these highlights because watching the whole show? Would be nauseating. That's how bad this shit is.
