TNA Wrestling Megathread

Camera work is absolute awful for this match

Good PPV.

Impact new recruitments are pretty rubbish though, I for one would be happy never to see No Way Jose again.

Impact overly rely on AEW and NJPW which is nice to get that cross over but I'd fear for them if they didnt have it.

I'm also bemused by the Moose loss, he's there best guy, it's strange one.

Eh what happened there at the end on the replay, it just cut out on me. Anyway, Jay White is just massive for Impact. I legit popped in a way that I can't remember last.

Crazy that AEW & NJPW closed an Impact PPV.

The Bullet Club vs The Elite.

Chelsea who signed with ROH has that opened the door for ROH to walk in.

The teaser for Bound for Glory had AEW, AAA & NJPW's logo's

I'm not sure what the point was of bringing Thunder in to lose but it did wonders for Deonna.

Thought it was an enjoyable show, the main event was excellent. Omega is just too good, any style of match or wrestler it doesn't really matter. Fair play to Callihan too, thought it was the best he looked since his matches with Penta.

Ultimate X was very good too. Thought Rosa was a nice surprise.

If this is leading to Omega/White it will be a cracker. I don't really get the criticism towards AEW for this not happening on Dynamite. There's more than enough going on there with the Hangman story that it would take away from it I think. IMPACT has basically become the neutral ground for any match to take place, I like it and think it works for all the parties involved.

Had an absolute blast at Slammiversary. I used to be massive fan from 2005 to 2012 and kinda dropped off after that. My last time at an Impact show was 2006 in Florida during their peak so it was interesting to see how this iteration of the company would be live.

I only started casually watching it again since Kenny came into it and even then I would have it as background noise while doing something else.

The staff at impact couldn't have been nicer, we got our bags of swag including drinks and snacks, an event shirt, VIP laminate, impact towel and plastic cup before it. At the end we got a piece of the ring canvas, a pic on the ramp and a mounted event poster. The crowd was insane all night, even chanting for the ring crew.

It's always surprising how jacked some wrestlers are in real life that you wouldn't expect. Crazy Steve is an absolute unit and was doing great character work the entire time outside the ring.

The Ultimate X match was insane, pity it sounds like it looked a little chaotic on TV. Trey Miguel is great, first time really seeing him, Petey W looking fantastic for how long he's been around and I finally get the Josh Alexander hype. Very enjoyable. The German suplex Josh gave to Ace Austin at the start was brutal! He took some hop with it.

The guy with Myers, can't remember his name was hilarious. Constantly chatting to the crowd and his comedic timing was in point.

Cass looked good and there was some nice stiff shots in this match too. The apron powerbomb had a sickening thud.

Mooses chops to Sabin were insane. I got a clip of the second one that I'll fire up. Sabin winning was odd but interesting to see where it goes.

Place came unglued for Thunder Rosa, was a great surprise.

Kenny and Sami was great too! I could see Kenny blading from my side and he struggled to get the blade out of the ring, Hebner had to do it for him. I got a great angle of the table piledriver also. Will try attach that too.

I've had a wild few weeks of hitting different events all over the US so will ease up a little next month haha. I have PWG in LA on August first next and will hit a local show here in Seattle with a promotion called Defy. They have Lance Archer coming next month so should be good. After that it's AEW in NY and I'll chance Bound for Glory also once tickets are out.

Rosa is so good she can take the loses while putting over the top female talent in each company.

She dropped the NWA title to Deeb & lost twice to Kimille her only singles losses in NWA.

She put over Shida, Britt Baker, Rose in AEW her only 3 singles losses there.

She put over Purrazzo in Impact.

Another Saturday event this weekend with Homecoming, including mixed tag tournament.

I see Deonna is fighting a title vs title match at Triplemania so she could hold 2 belts.

It was like for the tag matches they were just told to go out and enjoy themselves. Crowd was really into it as well which always helps.

Deonna's partner just seemed perfectly appropriate. And the chants for Myers' partner after she left the ring was funny.

Petey and Jordynne as Little Petey Pump and Thicc Mama Pump were enjoyable.

Fire'N'Flava no more, with Tasha turning on Hogan with the help of a big lady.

Tasha is an interesting one, carries herself well but her ring work seems to be iffy from what I've seen.

NJPW

 Moose vs Ishii was great last night just what you would expect and hope for as they beat the living hell out of each other.

AAA

Impact has it's own belt collector now in Deonna who is actually a good choice for a female wrestler to do it.

NWA & AEW next?

Zicky will do well there with the focus on character.

Impact have been quite astute in who they've picked up and brought in from elsewhere, it's a pretty solid roster now.

Still can't believe Jay White is appearing on their television.

No Way Jose seemed to have just been signed as a punchline but now they're keeping him around.

Christian retires the TNA title.

So it's just the Impact title now.
