    Watching a bit of Impact lately and finding it a hard watch. I do enjoy Swinger as he's funny. But I dunno. Not exactly must see TV.

    Half of me was gonna pay for the ppv tonight on FITE. But waste of money came to mind sadly.

    The motor city machine guns are back. Could be good. Just said there is at least two more surprises

    Gallows nearly had a comedy slip walking to the ring that would have been hilarious if he had fallen.

    Great to see the MCMG's back.

    Those expected to turn up did.

    Didn't Chris Sabin retire?
    It's not too long ago that Shelly was on NXT.

    While I was watching I was thinking I didn't know what I expect. it's not like many of the names would be a big deal apart from Rusev and the Good Brothers.

    Based off that show, I don't think they will keep many, if any, who tuned in for these surprises. Production values weren't great and the technical hitches from Don Callis' audio to the microphones for Heath's bit. This was their chance to lure in new viewers and in my opinion, they messed up.

    Then the women's Battle Royal Rumble. If it wasn't for their partners Katie Forbes and Alicia Edwards wouldn't be there. Katie definitely shouldn't be in that ring. And women were getting eliminated and ignored, like former champion Su Lee/Susie.

    As for the women's title match, it's another example of putting a WWE cast off over their own talent. Deonna was a jobber in both TNA and WWE. She's won her matches in Impact but that should be the start of her run. As has been said in the AEW thread, give the former WWE ones a match when they've earned it in the company.

    I'm sure they did the Heath fighting for a job and Free Agent bit in WWE already.

    I was surprised myself at the speed in which they gave Deonna the title. She hasn't done anything in either WWE or TNA to warrant it.

    It just makes them look incredibly small time.

    so how long until Sabin injures himself again, personally i think he is a liability and should retire for good

    Looking it up, his last match was Jan 2019 but that was due to ACL tear. It was Shelley that retired. Guess it didn't stick

    Not a bad vignette for EC3's return

    Didn't think Slammiversary was particularly great, was still an enjoyable enough show though, suppose was more of a company wide reset with getting people into new positions rather than putting on a show of the year contender.

    Delighted Eddie won, I thought him or Austin were the best choices. That Powerslide Destroyer from Trey looked class too! And always great to see the MCMG.

    This is the exact character vignette he pitched to Vince, instead Vince thought it'd be funnier if he was chasing after the 24/7 title.

    Ec3 is a mark for himself.

    The guy screams lower mid-card. He will always be a big fish in a small pond.

    Oh never knew that, tbh i always felt WWE signing EC3 was more of the lets buy up as many of the top wrestlers so no one can have them but do **** all with them. Even on NXT he didnt really do anything and then when he was brought up to the main roster if he was pretty much jobbed out

    I understand the sentiments but I honestly don't think we've seen some enough of the poor bastard either way to say that!

    Going by that video, it's likely he won't have his catchy entrance theme anymore.

    And I don't think I heard of Eric Young referred to as World Class Maniac before Slammiversary, yet according to Josh that's how he's known.

    So Heath is just known as Heath now and not exactly subtle about letting people know. I'd say that'll change when he "officially" signs.

    And looked like a tease for
    Curt Hawkins

    I thought the 'guest list' joke was pretty funny

    Jeez i didn't know that! Love the Guns. What was Shelley's best match in NXT?


    Also how did Heath look in his iMPACT segments? He looks pretty rough in that pic.

    It was just one match a guest spot in the Dusty Tag Team Tournament tagging with Kushida reuniting the Time Splitters where they lost to the Grizzled Young Veterans.

    The Wrestle House stuff was surprisingly entertaining, hopefully they don't overdo it. Johnny Swinger is gas!

    Eddie and Trey and Deonna and Kimber Lee were good matches, decent episode of Impact all round.

    For the first few minutes I thought it was going to be absolutely awful but it grows on you really quick and is genuinely funny. I hope they do a lot more with it

    I'm surprised they haven't changed or toned down his character with all the recent stories that have come out
