Zema Ion vs. Christian York from TNA’s Impact TV 2012

Recap from TJ Hawke:

Borash explained on commentary that York last appeared in TNA on the very first night of the company. York has a contract body now. York was in control early. York hit a half-nelson suplex and a cannonball splash.  York went to the top rope, but Ion fell to the floor.  Ion managed to cut him off with a swinging DDT.  Ion got the heat after that.  Iron went for a middle rope moonsault, but York got his knees up. York then hit a big lariat and The Mood Swing: 1…2…NO!  York called for a dive, but Ion avoided it. York then hit a handspring headscissors from the apron. Back in the ring, Ion managed to hit York in the balls behind the ref’s back. Ion then locked in the Submission Impossible and York taps out!

 

This match was OK. I read a lot about how good York has looked since he came to TNA last year. I thought he seemed OK, but he didn’t seem that sharp to me. Is Christian York going to be someone that has interesting matches that go longer than eight minutes? I’m not sure. Zema did a good job to make York look strong before the finish.

Match Rating: **1/4

About TJ Hawke

TJ was a fan of wrestling as a kid (starting around 1999), and his first concrete wrestling memory is some kid bringing Hulk Hogan his old yellow and red gear backstage during an episode of Nitro. Hogan needed the gear to defeat Kevin Nash in a title vs. career match at the next WCW PPV. Nash lost the match and his career, which sadly resulted in the world losing out on seeing Kevin Nash matches for the last 13 years. Like almost all young kids, TJ’s interest in wrestling fluctuated over the years until an episode of Raw on July 3, 2006. TJ was curious and excited to see his beloved RVD show up with the WWE Title belt and what he thought was the revitalized European title. TJ decided he must turn to the the internet to figure out what was going on. Almost 6 years later, TJ is still searching the internet every day to find out what is going on in wrestling. Now though, he writes for the pop culture site (411mania.com), has his own blog (The Best of Chikara), and is the creator of the very site you are reading now.
