TNA: JBL emerged as Nemeth and Alexander battled in a 60-minute Iron Man match

Greetings and salutations! TNA is in Kentucky and TNA World Champion Nic Nemeth will put his title on the line against former champion Josh Alexander in a one-hour Iron Man match that headlines tonight’s Emergence streaming special. After a 30 minute draw, Nemeth puts his title on the line in a 60-minute battle. Wihtout further ado, let’s get to the action.

Pre-show

Frankie Kazarian VS Kushida

The Time Splitter hooked an armbar on the floor, and Kaz tapped out until the referee broke the hold. Since the action was outside the ring, the submission didn’t count. Upon re-entry to the ring, Kazarian kicked the ropes up into Kushida’s groin. I think Kaz plotted that cheat by messing up the apron on purpose. As the referee pulled the apron back into place for safety reasons, Kaz struck low behind the ref’s back. That cheap tactic directly led to the Fade to Black piledriver for Kazarian to win.

Winner: Frankie Kazarian

ABC demanded a fight with First Class, and they were okay with putting the tag titles on the line. Rich Swan was unable to compete, so AJ Francis brought in KC Navarro as his partner.

TNA Digital Media Championship & International Heavyweight Championship: PCO VS Matt Cardona’s Monster

The reveal was “The Indian Lion” Shera. Cardona was not around but PCO took out this mystery man and won via moonsault.

Winner: PCO
