Impact Wrestling Results, Live Blog (June 1, 2017): GFW tag title match!

Impact Wrestling is back tonight (June 1) from Orlando, Floria and will be airing on Pop TV at 8 EST. This is your spot for the live updates and to talk about it with your fellow fans.

Tonight, LAX will face the Veterans of War to crown new GFW tag champions. Plus, Low-Ki will face Andrew Everett and Allie will be in action. We’re also just four weeks from Slammiversary so the plans for that show will become clearer.

We'll be here at 8 EST when Impact starts, so come join us!

Note: I original thought this was their first episode from India. That is next week. This is their last episode from Orlando last taping. I apologize for the confusion

EC3 segment

The show opens with a band of sorts in the ring. And then out comes EC3! Is it his barbershop quartet? There are more than 4 of them actually but they are harmonizing like it. The group sings EC3’s theme.

Carter says he’s ready to take back what’s his, the world champion because... then he has his band sing “Number one contender” in the tune of “He’s a jolly good fellow.”

He says that he has faced Lashley before, but now he has the answer. And that’s his fight music! Cue the barbershop crew.

Alberto El Patron’s music plays and the GFW champion comes to the ring. And Karen Jarrett, Bruce Pritchard (with Tyrus), and Dutch Mantell come out. Pritchard says that Patron will face Carter tonight and he’ll have to put the GFW title on the line. But EC3 also puts his #1 contendership on the line. And they’ll do it in a steel cage.

Round One: Moose starts with a big boot an takes it to Drake early. He then tosses him across the ring. And again.

He then drop kicks Drake off the top rope. Then a Powerbomb and a senton. Moonsault but Moose comes out grabbing the bad leg.

Moose wins by split decision

They show Allie backstage, who is confused what that demon person helped her last week. But then Rosemary siddles up. Allie nervously asks “Ms. Assassin” why she helped her. She said while they may have lost their family, the hive still speaks to her and they told her to protect Allie.

There’s a video of Matt Sydall saying tonight’s X Division match between Low-Ki and Andrew Everett will set the standard.

Amber Nova vs. Allie (w/Braxton Sutter)

Amber Nova is billed “from the garage.”

They show Swoggle in the crowd.

Nova starts by slamming Allie down by her hair. Allie tries to grab Amber from behind, but Nova easily gets out and tosses Allie down again.

Allie is able to reverse a whip and follow up with a splash. Then a clothesline. But soon Nova is back on top of Allie, putting the boots to Allie in the corner.

Nova goes for a kick but Allie catches it and responds with a clothesline. Then another. And a third. And a fourth! Allie whips her in the corner, but Nova gets the foot up. Amber climbs to the top but Allie grabs her and delivers a Death Valley Driver. 1-2-3.

LAX vs. Veterans of War for the GFW tag titles in a no DQ match

Swoggle still watching from the crowd.

Starts with Ortiz and Wilcox. But it soon becomes all four men in the ring brawling. Homicide and Diamante gets involved too this being a no DQ match.

When they feel Wilcox is neutralized, they leave the legal men too it but Wilcox clothesline both Ortiz and Santana and tags in Mayweather. Ortiz tries to take it to Mayweather, but he easily neutralizes him.

Santana slides in from behind and takes it to the left leg of Mayweather while Wilcox is mugged outside but the rest of LAX. Ortiz tagged in and continues to work on the big man.

Mayweather tries to crawl to Wilcox but cannot tag in. (Why Wilcox doesn’t just run in this no DQ match is beyond me. Oh he tried but the ref stopped him for some reason in this no DQ match.)

After a betting, Mayweather is able to hit a End of Days like move to Santana and finally tag in Wilcox. Ortiz in too. And Ortiz get a BIG Fallaway Slam from Wilcox. Then a clothesline. Samoan Drop. Goes for the cover but Diamante pulls the ref out of the ring.

Mayweather gets hit with a weapon from Konnan outside. And in the ring Homicide hits Wilcox with a flag. Ortiz and Santana hit their blockbuster powerbomb to Wilcox for the 1-2-3.

LAX wins the GFW championships
