April 12, 2018
Report by Mike Killam for ProWrestling.cm
– The show opens with highlights from last weekend’s IMPACT vs. Lucha Underground event in New Orleans, which turns into a great message of unity and wrestling promotions working together, including comments from Matt Striker, Tommy Dreamer, DJZ and more.
– It is officially announced that Alberto el Patron has been terminated from the company effective immediately. Austin Aries will defend the IMPACT World Championship at IMPACT Redemption, against Pentagon Dark and Fenix from Lucha Underground in a triple threat match.
IN-RING SEGMENT
Eli Drake makes his way out to the ring carrying both of his Feast or Fired briefcases. Let me talk to ya! The former world champion said that he never admits to being wrong, but in this case he may have to break tradition. The crowd tries to give him the “WHAT?” treatment and Eli gives it back to them, then calls the crowd dummies to shut them up. Originally he didn’t want the tag team briefcase because his former partner Chris Adonis decided to tuck tail and run away from IMPACT, but he’s had a change of heart ever since recieving a phone call…
LAX’s music hits and the IMPACT Tag Team Champions make their way out lead by Konnan, as Eli scatters from the ring as quickly as he possibly can. Konnan calls his boys “serious like a late period” and refuses to wait another week to find out who LAX has to defend their titles again. He calls Eli a “ho” and demands an answer. Drake calls the fans “puppets” and informs Konnan that he knows exactly who his partner is. His partner is allegedly the “greatest tag team specialist of all time” and a former world champion… SCOTT STEINER IS HERE!
Big Poppa Pump has a microphone. Oh boy… He tells everyone to sit down and shut up, quickly getting the fans to turn on him by calling them “white trash millennials” who’ve probably never seen a single Steiner Brothers match in their lives. He keeps rambling on and on, putting himself over and talking about how great he is at tag team wrestling, until eventually Konnan cuts him off and tells him to stop “verbally menstruating”. He lets Eli Drake know that there’s a good chance his partner will no-show the PPV in two weeks, or might just show up late and drunk. Welp. This is happening.
