TNA Impact 9-30 TV Results - Matt Hardy, EC3, Tomasso Ciampa on the BFG Go Home Show

Last week, we got a darned fine edition of Impact. EC3 bullied Jeff Hardy around a bit and beat Spud to defend his title in another great match, Gail Kim beat Jade in a good match to retain her title, and Chris Melendez won his leg back from Eric Young in a lumberjack match. That was about the worst part of the show, with the main event five-man elimination match not only making Drew the number one contender for Bound For Glory, but also delivering a far better match than this year's King of the Mountain match.

UFC Fight Night Japan: Peach Machine's True Ten Scoring System

Submitted by PeachMachine for WrestlingObserver.com In a follow up to last weeks Bellator show, I have no update on the alleged scoring change that was put in place by the California State Athletic Commission. Supposedly the new rule will give judges a means to give more 10-8s, i.e. judges are instructed to give more 10-8s. I have no idea what this means, since they are already allowed to do this already.
