00:00There are no count outs or disqualifications in a chain match, the only way to win is via pinfall or submission.
00:06How would you navigate a match like this?
00:08I mean, you can't do much as far as navigation, there's only so far you can go.
00:13So hit hard, hit fast.
00:17These two very familiar with each other.
00:20Taking a moment before the chaos.
00:25Oh, and Slamovich firing off here in the early going.
00:30Trying to wrap that chain around the throat of Killer Kelly.
00:35Oh, and ripping down Kelly by the throat.
00:38Using it almost like a hair, like for a snap there, just whipping Killer Kelly back and forth.
00:44Kick right to the spine.
00:46Killer Kelly eats the PK.
00:48Here's the cover and a kick out by the challenger.
00:53Kelly quickly getting free of that chain.
00:55That is dangerous territory very early in this matchup.
01:00Oh, Kelly, a double shot right to the throat and down goes Slam.
01:05It's all tied up in the chain.
01:07And things like that, you even have to be careful.
01:10It could pull you down as the person on the other end of that.
01:13But look at this.
01:14Using the turnbuckle to hoist.
01:19This is the challenge of a chain match.
01:21Trying to utilize the environment.
01:24What type of creativity can you put into play?
01:27Oh, wait a minute.
01:28Oh, now Kelly wrapping the chain around the throat of Masha Slamovich.
01:32And it's wrapped around the turnbuckles.
01:36Turning this thing around.
01:38Trying to do exactly what Slamovich did to her in the early goings.
01:41Trying to navigate this dangerous piece of equipment.
01:51That can only way you get so far away.
01:54Nowhere to run in a match like this.
01:57Kelly sending Slamovich back inside the ring.
02:00The only place where the title can change hands.
02:02And now Killer Kelly finding herself a strong advantage in this title matchup.
02:13Slamovich on the back foot here.
02:14Oh, shot right to the back of the neck by Kelly.
02:18Shoots the half.
02:19Look to the leg.
02:20Trying to win the championship and a kick out.
02:22What a renaissance this would be for Killer Kelly to come back to this company after so much time away.
02:28And immediately explode back into the scene and capturing the knockout's world title potentially.
02:41Masha Hall with the chain in hand leveling Killer Kelly.
02:48Non-stop up and down.
02:51Cover.
02:51To retain her championship, Slamovich can't end the match.
02:56And look, Slamovich is a steel mind as any competitor I've ever known, I've ever seen.
03:02But to your point you made earlier.
03:04She's got to be pulled in a lot of direction.
03:07She already has her next challenger.
03:09This appearance by J.C. James staring her down.
03:12Meanwhile dealing with his former friend and now challenger in Killer Kelly.
03:17There's only so many ways the mind can split.
03:19Once again, opposite sides of this steel post.
03:24Oh, shoulder first into the post goes Kelly.
03:28In that equation, I'll tell you this, no matter which way it goes, the post always wins.
03:34The steel survives.
03:37Face first into the post.
03:42Oh my God, how much more of this could Killer Kelly take?
03:46We're going to find out.
03:49Once again.
03:52Oh!
03:54The chain in the mouth of Killer Kelly.
03:58Ripping, tearing at the jaw, the mandible.
04:05Killer Kelly typically competes with that mouth guard in on the top row, however.
04:10Thank goodness.
04:11Only saves so much.
04:12Yeah.
04:12No kidding.
04:18Slamovich and Kelly all over each other.
04:21Remember, no counting.
04:22No disqualifications in a chain match.
04:25I mean, to your point, they can go wherever they want, but wherever they go, their opponent is not far behind.
04:31You have to wonder if there's maybe one person on this.
04:45Marshall Slamovich has a modicum of sympathy for.
04:51Spine first into the steel, steps on the outside.
04:55Oh God, wrapped up in the chain.
04:58I was going to say Killer Kelly could play on that.
05:00I'm being maybe that one person, but I don't know what kind of sympathy either one of them are showing.
05:05Oh God.
05:09Slamovich getting out of the way in time.
05:11Each one of those shots ricocheting could have been Slamovich's skull.
05:20Oh, balling up the chain around her fist.
05:24Slamovich stomped it.
05:25That could have been disastrous.
05:27Now straight headbutts by the champion.
05:33Smashing Killer Kelly into plain steel.
05:36Both the chain and the steps.
05:38Oh God.
05:41We are in the steel city.
05:43How apropos.
05:50This is a chain match for the TNA Knockouts World Championship.
05:54The champion, Masha Slamovich, defending against Killer Kelly.
05:59There are no count outs and no disqualifications.
06:00The match can only end inside the ring.
06:05But right now, oh, Slamovich is literally dragging Killer Kelly.
06:09And now Kelly, the one dragging Slamovich up the ramp here.
06:20Killer Kelly wrapping that chain around the throat.
06:23What does she have in mind here for Slamovich?
06:26Pain.
06:27Pain and destruction.
06:30And a suplex on the entrance way.
06:33That and leaving Pittsburgh as the new Knockouts World Champion.
06:39And now look at this.
06:43Literally dragging the near carcass of the Knockouts World Champion down the ramp way back towards the ring.
06:50The team, once known as MKUltra, captured two Knockouts World Tag Team titles.
06:57That is no more.
06:58It's all about the Knockouts World Championship.
07:00Slamovich is still in it.
07:02MKUltra and Spitfire are tied for the record for the longest female-only Knockouts World Tag Team Championship reigns of all time.
07:15182 days.
07:16Tremendous success for Killer Kelly and Masha Slamovich when they were a team.
07:20But Killer Kelly was gone from this company for a year.
07:24Beginning in her first matchup in a year.
07:28In the 8-4-1 match that earned this title shot.
07:32These two former partners, former friends, just slugging it out with a...
07:44Oh!
07:46And that brutal chain, winding them together, both down center of the ring.
08:02Killer Kelly's mission has been to return to this company with a vengeance, trying to go right to the top and capture the Knockouts World Championship.
08:10Meanwhile, Masha Slamovich immediately responded once Kelly returned at Against All Odds.
08:15A quote, you belong at my feet.
08:19That is the confidence the champion has now.
08:21250 days as champion.
08:23Sending Kelly into the corner.
08:32Oh, and a new strike by Masha.
08:36Slamovich with a boot right to the face.
08:39And a champ starting to rally here.
08:43Rolling through.
08:45Is that enough?
08:46Is that it for Killer Kelly?
08:48Here's the cover.
08:49Oh, no!
08:49This championship match continues.
08:59Kelly here proving that time away has not made her any less tough.
09:04Wait, wait, wait.
09:05Think about Requiem.
09:06Throwing in this door, Kelly.
09:08Able to avoid it.
09:11Great counter there from Kelly.
09:14Oh!
09:15Face first into the middle turnbuckle.
09:16And now who?
09:23Who can hit that finishing blow?
09:26Kelly able to escape out of the corner.
09:28Nearly trapped Slamovich.
09:30Oh!
09:31And a boot right to the face.
09:37Oh, now Kelly.
09:39Oh!
09:40Angel swings!
09:42Is it enough?
09:44Is it enough?
09:45Shoulders down!
09:46Oh, no!
09:46And a kick out by a champion!
09:50Slamovich.
09:52Living up to her own reputation of toughness.
10:00Masha knocking left.
10:01That one go down without a fight.
10:03Wait, look at that!
10:04Slamovich.
10:05Snowplow!
10:06That's gotta be!
10:07Cover!
10:08One, two, three.
10:10Oh, Killer Kelly kicked out!
10:12How many countless opponents, especially in her early days here in TNA, did Masha Slamovich put away with that snowplow?
10:22Dillard Kelly knows Slamovich perhaps better than anyone in TNA, able to stay alive somehow in his chain match for the championship.
10:34Able to avoid Slamovich.
10:37Jumping the champion into the corner.
10:39Jump kick right to the face!
10:43Keeping the offense, the relentlessness!
10:47To win the title!
10:48Oh, no!
10:48The right shoulder up there by Slamovich!
10:51Kelly standing on top, however!
10:53Kelly now wasting any time immediately wrapping the chain around the face of Slamovich, trying to squeeze the life out of her.
11:00Killer Kelly would love to set up that killer clutch, just didn't have the right positioning for it.
11:05And Slamovich's gonna make her pay for that!
11:07The chain around the throat!
11:12Slamovich trying to end this!
11:14Oh, my God!
11:14We're gonna kill it!
11:15That's it!
11:16That's it!
11:17Slamovich's gonna make her pay for that!
11:19You're your winner and still the TNA knockout, world champion, Masha, Slamovich!
11:36It took Slamovich nearly having to choke out completely her former friend and partner, but she did it!
