History was made in the main event of Saturday night's show, a title unification match pitting Impact world champion Rich Swann against TNA champions Moose.
Swann stunned his larger opponent early, repeatedly driving him into the steel post. Moose slowed things down and used his power advantage, outmuscling his opponent and driving the air from him as he forced him to the mat.
Driven by the desire to hurt his opponent, Moose introduced a steel chair and wedged it in the corner. He tried to drive Swann into it, but the referee stopped him. The TNA champion opted for a fallaway slam instead. On the floor, he sent Swann into the guardrail.
Moose continued to punish Swann, completely overwhelming him. He applied an abdominal stretch, driving his elbow into the exposed ribs of his opponent. Swann bit his opponent's fingers, forcing the break. Moose cut him off with a gutbuster.
The fight headed up top, where Swann tried for a hurricanrana. Moose momentarily fought out, but Swann finally fought him with it anyway.
The competitors engaged in an exchange of strikes before Swann tried for the cutter. Moose caught him with a boot to the back. Swann then proceeded to catch Moose coming off the top rope with said cutter for a two-count.
Swann added a middle-rope 450 splash, but Moose kicked out.
Again, the fight headed to the top rope. Moose caught Swann, but the Impact champion fired off a series of right hands and knocked him down. Moose recovered, ran the ropes and delivered a fallaway moonsault slam for two.
Moose set up for a spear but ran into the turnbuckle. Then again. The third time, he crashed into the chair but shook it off. One last blind charge into the corner ended with Swann delivering a crucifix pin for the win and the titles.
Result
Swann defeated Moose to retain the Impact title, win the TNA title.
Grade
A
Analysis
Swann vs. Moose was the one match on this entire card that needed to deliver. It did—exponentially.
The pair had undeniable chemistry, with some strong storytelling to boot.
Here was Moose, physically dominant for most of the match. Even when he missed, repeatedly, he knew he could still rush the corner for the spear attempt. The last time, though, Swann used his opponent's overconfidence against him and scored the win off a simple wrestling move.
It was storytelling 101 executed to perfection.
Swann won the match, the titles and now has a shot at redemption as he battles the man who disgraced him at Hard to Kill: Kenny Omega. The build to that match should be something special and help heighten Impact's stature in the wrestling world.
Something the company deserves.
