That was a fun impact and some nice surprises

Big money Matt is brilliant and it's the ideal position for him

What is up with Jerry Lynn and aging? He looked older back when he was in TNA around 10 years ago

Getting the hair chopped?

Probably less wear and tear, and living a healthier life. It does wonders for some. :pac:

Agent Coulson · 22-01-2021 12:11am

Just looked there he will be 58 this year damn.

Impact pulled a fast one and managed to keep hold of Trey Miguel. Fair play to them.

Not surprised tbh. He's probably happy to be working with his wife and he's in a position where he's gonna get a chance make himself a top guy. When the alternative is doing hip toss class and box jumps with 256 other PC geeks I'd say he picked the best option

YouTube and Facebook are the new home of Impact in Ireland and the UK

"From Wednesday, weekly episodes of IMPACT! will be available to stream on Facebook and YouTube in the UK & Ireland, within hours of the American broadcast!"

Great from Tony K saying that he is so enjoying wrestling now that is why he let Mox appear on NJPW Strong now linking the 3 promotions.

RollieFingers · 03-02-2021 10:01pm

I like Rich Swann but they need to put the world championship on Moose, he looked like the real deal at the end of the show with both belts. The AEW links have me checking out Impact on YT but there's not really much going on, it's as dull as dishwater for the most part.

It's inevitable for Moose I think.

Impact hasn't been quite as entertaining lately as it can be, and when it's boring the bad wrestling is on full display with no where to hide.

I still can't tell if Fire N Flava are actually any use in the ring and they're the women's tag team champions!

Well this was a load of bollox. They just put up highlights on YouTube to watch (like they've always done) and when asked on twitter about getting the full episode on YouTube (like the way it sounded it would be from the press release), the Impact UK and Ireland account said you can watch full episodes on the Impact plus app.

Watched a bit of this last night (impact plus 30 day trial). Impact give WWE a good run for their money with camera cuts during matches. Why does any wrestling company think that it looks good? I understand it for punches because some can look awful but absolutely no need for it at the impact of a powerbomb etc.

RollieFingers · 14-02-2021 1:57pm

The end of the multi-man was excellent between Trey, Austin and Alexander, those three guys should be at the forefront of IMPACT going forward, along with Swann and Moose. Couldn't care less about Dreamer in 2021 and definitely nowhere near the main event, he has change the channel heat for me.

The NJPW announcement feels big, it's reported that the deal has been worked on for a good while now and that D'Amore and others from IMPACT flew to Japan to formally apologize for the previous issues that existed between the two companies. I think some of the people saying that people are getting ahead of themselves and jumping the gun about companies who will only work together for the short term are wrong and there is definitely something in the works here and clearly has been for a while now. Hopefully some exciting stuff ahead for fans of pro-wrestling!

hynesie08 · 14-02-2021 2:00pm

You remember when coronavirus started, and wwe were doing 2 1/2 hour ppvs and nobody complained? There was no reason for this show to be 3 hours, half the matches went too long, half too short.

There was some good stuff, josh Alexander and jake something both had performances that should get eyes on them, but a 3 hour b show headlined by Tommy dreamer trying to wrestle a non gimmick match........ Never again.

Agent Coulson · 15-02-2021 8:46pm

Muta teasing to defend his new NOAH World Tile in Impact who NOAH have a working relationship with.

TJP vs Josh Alexander announced for tomorrows Impact could be a cracker.

CastorTroy · 24-02-2021 1:25pm

Tony Khan doing his charity work again. Getting some talent involved this time.

Scott D'amore taking a dig at WWE and their great idea of an Eye for an Eye match.

Agent Coulson · 24-02-2021 6:21pm

Eye for an eye

RollieFingers · 03-03-2021 6:58pm

IMPACT was decent this week, the women's match in the main event was really good.

I liked the idea of Callihan invading Trey's training school but the execution could have been a bit better.

Looking forward to Sacrifice, it's a solid if not spectacular card. Moose/Swann should be great.

13-03-2021 7:57pm

Rich Swann Vs Moose unification match tonight. Winner goes on to face Omega in a title for title match.

Also Good brothers Vs Juice and Finlay

Still have my impact plus trial so I'll watch at some stage tomorrow. I got my trial through Fite TV so didn't have to set up an impact plus account, if anyone is interested in getting the trial and watching.

CastorTroy · 13-03-2021 8:24pm

What's the difference between these shows like Sacrifice and the upcoming Rebellion? Is Rebellion a PPV rather than just on Plus?

Exactly mate, yeah.

RollieFingers · 14-03-2021 10:12am

Omega/Swann title vs title confirmed for Rebellion. Looking forward to that, pity there won't be a crowd for it.

Moose/Swann was a really good main event, I liked the X-Division match too, Austin gets better every time I see him. Kind of surprised FinJuice won though, IMPACT giving all their titles away!

Agent Coulson · 14-03-2021 3:09pm

That was a very enjoyable show I must say and the inter promotion match set ups going forward starting to fall into place with the tag titles changing hands and Omega's belt collecting tour really kicking into gear now.

Probably not seeing as they're both contracted to Impact, they'll probably end up going the sharing route, similar to how Sony/Marvel share Spider-Man right now :pac:

More likely the Good Brothers will go to NJPW chasing and setting feuds there for Omega.

The White Wolf · 14-03-2021 8:07pm

The idea of Omega dropping the Impact Title to Moose is wild. I've always said this is the sort of thing that would be the biggest challenge faced by the talent sharing.

It has to be done in a legit way and in no situation where Kenny doesn't take the pin.

15-03-2021 12:06am

Delighted they unified the Impact and TNA world title. Thought it was stupid having both.

CastorTroy · 15-03-2021 1:38am

With NJPW getting the tag titles, AEW likely getting the world title, I'd say Shida's is the expendable title to go to Impact

It was a situation born out of the Tessa Blanchard debacle so I'm not sure what they could do....but yeah a year to sort it out ain't great.

undertaker fan 88 · 15-03-2021 9:39pm

Here's a review me and one of the lads did of sacrifice. Wasn't much of a show but we do weekly shows on all things wrestling and will have a few surprise guests popping up between now and wrestlemania

https://youtu.be/vTFW83q3IDo

Also follow us on Twitter @slamwrestle
And wrestleslam on Facebook

CastorTroy · 17-03-2021 12:21pm

Found it funny when Scott was asked at the weekend who the 12 Knockouts would be for the tag match. Not like they have much choice. Was surprised they had 12.

Wonder how many hear Don Callis's music and wonder how they got Maroon 5.

Hardcore Justice is the next special on April 10th, before Rebellion on April 24th.
Looks like that's the next time we'll see the tag titles

JP Liz V1 · 24-03-2021 4:04am

Kenny Omega confronting Rich Swann

25-03-2021 9:42pm

They're moving back to Thursdays from the 8th of April. It's so they won't go head to head with NXT when they move to Tuesdays.

I was worried about them

good decision

CastorTroy · 25-03-2021 11:51pm

Maybe they should've waited a week. That's the same night as Stand & Deliver night 2

Agent Coulson · 29-03-2021 4:46pm

Eric Young has torn his ACL so probably gone for the rest of the year.

CastorTroy · 09-04-2021 11:31pm

Was thinking they were a bit mad scheduling Hardcore Justice the same day as Mania night 1, but reading now it will be available at 8pm our time so will be over before the Mania preshow

Headshot · 12-04-2021 8:18pm

I wouldnt be the be biggest Impact fan but their card for IMPACT Wrestling Rebellion looks quite good

Title vs. Title Match
Impact World Champion Rich Swann vs. AEW World Champion Kenny Omega

Impact World Tag Team Titles Match
Karl Anderson and Doc Gallows vs. David Finlay and Juice Robinson (c)

Knockouts Title Match
Tenille Dashwood vs. Deonna Purrazzo (c)

Cannot wait to see Swann v Omega

CastorTroy · 12-04-2021 8:27pm

Meant to say, Jazz lost the Title vs Career match at Hardcore Justice.
Also Susan competed as her Su Yung persona in the Number 1 Contender match

Hm so at what point will this come into effect? Anyone know how far in advance Impact have their tapings?

Agent Coulson · 12-04-2021 9:03pm

How crazy would it be if Swann won.

CastorTroy · 14-04-2021 11:38am

Now that Impact has moved to Thursdays, will they be able to afford to keep going if Tony Khan isn't paying them advertising money?

Unless he advertises a week in advance
