At the end of the day only one act can win the contract with TNA. The four participants in this show...

“Party” Marty Scurll, a 24 year old wrestler out of Cambridge. He has wrestled for the Frontier Wrestling Alliance, All Star Wrestling and International Pro Wrestling: United Kingdom, among others.

Rockstar Spud, 29 years old from Birmingham. At 5'3 and 130 pounds he is considered the smallest mainstream wrestler in the UK. He has also wrestled for FWA and IPW: UK, as well as wrestling for Pro Wrestling Guerrilla during a tour of England in 2006.

The Blossom Twins, who, as you may have figured out from the name, are twin sisters going by the names Hannah and Holly. They are 24, absolutely gorgeous and have wrestled for OVW and Wrestlicious, among other places.

From all appearances Marty and Spud can only win individually, while the Blossom Twins will win as a tandem.

-Tonight is a night I have been dreading. It is the season finale! Tonight, one of those three acts will become the newest TNA Wrestling Superstar and sadly I will never see this show again. #sadface

The episode picks up where last weeks episode ended, with the four contestants in Ohio Valley Wrestling under the tutelage of Al Snow and Doug Williams. 

Each of the four talk about how important it is to be impressive for Al and Doug and they go over their matches backstage. First up, it is Spud and Marty teaming up to face two OVW regulars, whose names are listed as Constantine and Diamond. 

We really only see the offense of the contestants. I would assume it wasn't just a squash match, but that's all you need to see I guess. Spud hit a Swiveling Rude Awakening. Marty wanted the tag to do the finish they talked about, but Spud flipped him off and finished off their foe with a DDT.

After the match Marty calls Spud selfish, while Spud said Marty was always doing things to put himself over at the expense of Spud.

After the match Marty and Spud begin yelling in front of Al and Doug. Al gives them both a browbeating and warns Spud not to eyeball him.

The twins are out next facing TNA Gut Check winner Taeler Hendrix (of New Bedford, Massachusetts baybeh!) and a black lady listed as Bynum.

The twins worked very well together and got along much better than the boys did, the match also appeared to be much better and better received by the crowd.

Al gave them really good advice after wards and you could tell he approved of them more than he approved of the men.

-Marty had a great entrance, but did it all on the floor, which if he had done it in the ring would make him look like a bigger star. Doug also told him to slow down and that he rushes things a bit much, especially during his comeback.

-Al told Hannah and Holly. that as twins, that in itself is the gimmick and they need to understand it and work it better. They need to work as a team better than everyone else, just because of the obviousness of them being twins. He went on to say that while they have to be as technically sound as the men, they cannot lose their femininity.

-Finally we go to Spud. You can guess what Al had to say to him. Al told him to never, ever let their personal issues go out the curtain. They both put over that he was able to get himself over with the crowd, but he hurt himself by his behavior at the end of the match. He has a certain presence, entrance and charisma.

With that in mind, Al has made the decision to send all four of them to Orlando and the Impact Zone for the finals of the show. 

-After commercial (yes that was only the first segment) they have already arrived at Soundstage 21 aka the Impact Zone. Each of the four really put over the Impact Zone. It's amazing how small it looks here. Obviously it is not that big, but still.

Jeff Hardy, Taryn Terrell, Samoa Joe, Mickie James and Bully Ray all give their opinions of the four of them. Ray, in the line of the night, says Spud could be his bastard son. 

-Next up they are shown a video of Rollerball Rocco wishing them luck tonight. Rocco says he is proud of them and is confident they are ready and can do it. Rocco puts them all over in his own way and basically says that all four of them can be stars in wrestling.

-Dixie finishes the show by giving them a pep talk and telling each of them their opponent's in the show tonight.

It will be:

-The Blossom Twins vs Madison Rayne and Gail Kim (That is a lot of hot women in one match)

-Party Marty vs Rockstar Spud

Dixie was going to put the men against two Impact Superstars, but they couldn't get along in OVW, so she is making them work together in putting together a good match.

A bunch of TNA Superstars make their picks for who they think will win...except AJ Styles who wusses out and says he can't pick anyone.

-The finale begins with Hulk Hogan being psyched up for this show. He mentions “body slamming 700 pound giants”. Andre keeps growing in his death.

Pyro and ballyhoo kick off the show with JB and Magnus doing commentary for the two matches.

Kurt Angle and Jeff Hardy are shown sitting backstage watching as the men kick things off. Each guy gets an epic looking, big stage entrance, which looked very big league.

They added a lot of crowd noise as it sounds like there is plenty of noise, but everyone is just sort of sitting there watching.

This was a really fun match and makes you wonder how well they could have worked together as a team, but what would the show have been had they actually gotten along?

Both hit very impressive looking dives to the outside of the ring, the match goes about 5 minutes and ends with Marty kicking out of Amazing Red's Infra-Red and hits a Death Valley Driver for the win. By the end, the fans were really into this match.

-After commercial break it is Knockout time, Hannah and Holly Blossom going 2 on 2 with Gail Kim and Madison Rayne. This is already more wrestling than an entire Vince Russo Impact.

Before the match Gail cuts a promo, making fun of the fact they are wrestling twins from Manchester. Since they knew how to treat royalty, Madison was going to let them bow out of the match. Needless to say they did not bow out of the match.

Madison and Gail get the heat on Holly. Holly actually gets the fans behind her in her effort to get to her corner. Finally Hannah gets the hot tag and the girls double team the former champions. The finish sees Madison distracting Hannah and Gail picking up the win with a handful of tights.

-After the matches we go back around to various TNA Superstars saying who they think will win. Kazarian (picking the Blossom's), Taz (picking Marty) and Kurt Angle (picking Spud) were all interviewed. Al Snow and Gail Kim both just said “whichever”.

Hulk and Dixie really put over them in their meetings backstage. Hulk says they each put great presence to the ring and great charisma. 

Who is going to win?

I have this feeling all four are going to win.

-And the winner is.....

Hey did anyone catch that Terrence and Phillip special last week?

The winner is.....ROCKSTAR SPUD! 

Spud collapses to his knees in tears, as Dixie gives him a big hug. Marty puts him over and Spud is crying and putting the other three over as great talents. It is unbelievable that this is the same man.

Dixie says he is sending all four on the Road To Lockdown Tour in England, to give the other three another shot.

Spud finishes by saying he can now go to his parents and say he is not a failure anymore.

A nice video package for Spud ends the show.

-Thank you all for reading this, this has been a fun four weeks and I can honestly tell you I loved every episode. Check out YouTube as I am sure you will find the shows there.

Until next time, see you all later!
