TNA Impact Wrestling Results (5/1) Hardcore Justice Returns, New X Division Champion, Stretcher Match!

 X Division Championship (Ladder Match)

Mark Andrews vs Tigre Uno vs Kenny King vs Rockstar Spud (c)

Andrews kicks things off with a shooting star press to the floor, then he gets the ladder but King cuts him off and fights for the ladder. Uno springboards in and slingshots the ladder into their faces, then Andrews comes back with a tornado DDT. Spud goes after King but gets caught in the ribs with the ladder, then King stomps him before Andrews slams King into another ladder. Andrews climbs for the title but Uno pulls him back and hits a moonsault side slam. Spud connects with a few kicks to the head, then King knocks him off the ladder but Uno springboards onto the ladder and attacks. King slams his face off the ladder before Spud punches and bites King, then he goes for the title but Homicide runs in and slams him on a second ladder. King rolls back in, and climbs up and takes the title. 

Winner and NEW X Division Champion – Kenny King 

BP: I didn’t think Spud would hold the title that long, but I would’ve liked to have seen a few more defenses by him. King is a talented athlete and a heat magnet, so at least we should get to see him fight more instead of just cutting promos and doing run ins. 

Eric Young comes out with a stretcher and says Kurt Angle was right about him, and the title changed him. He says it just proved he is a world class champion and athlete, and now he wants it back, and he’s taking out everyone in his way. He says he put Bobby Lashley, Bobby Roode and Austin Aries out, so now it’s time to deal with Kurt, and he sees a man who is beatable and a man who is hurt. Eric says he will do what no one has done before, and he will end Kurt Angle’s career. 

Rockstar Spud is shown backstage talking about how the BDC stole from him, and that X Division title meant everything to him. He says his name was on the list of all-time greats, and he worked for 14 years to get there. Spud says he won’t stop here, then he looks at the camera and says he will get his title back.
