Jonathan Gresham will defend the ROH title at Hard to Kill against Chris Sabin.

JP Liz V1 · 05-01-2022 9:38pm

Matt Striker released

05-01-2022 9:55pm

Ian Riccaboni would be a massive upgrade on Striker if they can get him. Can't stand Striker.

CastorTroy · 05-01-2022 10:03pm

Just googled Matt Striker to see if there was a reason and funny the picture that shows in the google info card clearly isn't him.

Saw that a minute ago too :D

Agent Coulson · 05-01-2022 10:58pm

Hogan & Bishoff debuted 12 years ago yesterday on a special Live Monday Night TNA Impact.

It did a 1.5 rating, 2.2 million viewers.

CastorTroy · 06-01-2022 12:47am

And if there was a documentary about the company this would be marked as the beginning of the end for TNA.

Was joking somewhere else about AEW's big signing being Hogan and his mates.

Came across this clip on twitter from Impact last night. This perfectly demonstrates what I've been complaining about with Impact and their camera cuts. They are trying to replicate the **** WWE style of loads of camera cuts and it makes it unwatchable for me. Why any wrestling company thinks this looks good, I'll never know.

riffmongous · 07-01-2022 12:31pm

You really have to give AEW credit for actually listening to fan's opinions, even if they did it a bit too much maybe, at least they are pleasing someone.

Slamovich looks great btw

08-01-2022 8:17pm

Tom Philips is the new play by play guy for Impact, starting tonight.

09-01-2022 1:43am

Just watching the pre show and Philips is already 100 times better than Striker.

CastorTroy · 09-01-2022 1:17pm

Didn't realise it was going to have a ROH title match, which was a pleasant surprise.

And seems more RoH involvement in Impact as well going by what happened.

The IInspiration weren't there due to being close contacts.

Agent Coulson · 10-01-2022 1:46pm

Charlie Hass made is big time wrestling comeback at Impact tapings last night against Josh Alexander and was stretchered out of the building.

PWInsider is reporting now that he is ok he was just knocked loopy.

Probably should put a spoiler on that seeing as though it's in the Impact thread. I know not many watch Impact but it is a spoiler before the show airs.

10-01-2022 5:40pm

The last time I saw Charlie he was not looking in great shape glad that he is back to a level where he can wrestle again and 50. It is 20 years since his brother died where does time go.

riffmongous · 13-01-2022 12:09am

Anyone here watch the markyd123 Ring of the Hawk stuff on YouTube? Definitely an acquired taste that's very off putting at the start, but one of the best youtube channels for TNA content that I've come across, and the weird style does get funny after a while if you can stick it out

CastorTroy · 14-01-2022 10:56am

So they have a random title vs title match with no build at all apart from Rok-C being in attendance at Hard to Kill. Why?

Rok-C just won the title and they take it off her already.

Cotts72 · 14-01-2022 12:49pm

Recently had a wwe tryout, may be the reason why

Pentecost · 14-01-2022 1:02pm

How would I go about watching Impact these days if I was ever in the humour? I've watched a few PPVs via Fite but where does the weekly show air?

14-01-2022 1:06pm

Yeah I think she's WWE bound. If AEW didn't try to sign her, they're idiots. I'm sure they did though. She has so much upside and potential. Even now atm she's great.

14-01-2022 1:14pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118473459#Comment_118473459

Sign up for their app on the free tier and you can watch the weekly show. Don't think they show it live but it'll be there the next morning.

Pentecost · 14-01-2022 1:41pm

Cool thanks I'll look into it. Probably won't watch it all the time but might dip into it now and then.

14-01-2022 5:38pm

Delighted that Deonna finally won the ROH title and well deserved for the best female wrestler in the world now she just needs to get her Impact title back off Mickie once Mickie is done with her ego publicity trip to the WWE. Deonna needs to hold all the belts and that included the AEW world title as well and why not head to Japan and take the Stardom and take the World of Stardom Championship while she is at it to add to her AAA titles and become the true belt collector.

RollieFingers · 14-01-2022 5:54pm

No way is Deonna better than Syuri, Giulia, Iwatani or Utami but it would be cool to see her back in STARDOM.

Cherry_Cola · 14-01-2022 6:00pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118475545#Comment_118475545

This is umm, quite a take.

14-01-2022 6:40pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118475659#Comment_118475659

Wait what you just actual made a post without referencing which wrestlers you are hanging out with or how much money you are paying for tickets or what backstage parties you are going to damn that must be a first.

Cherry_Cola · 14-01-2022 6:59pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118475930#Comment_118475930

Fair but I have a unique insight that a lot can't get due to travel restrictions etc so figured some people would be interested in some of the crazy adventures. It's certainly more interesting than posting terrible takes and getting into it with posters over their previous posts. Maybe go out into the world and experience things rather than trawling post histories and simping for the likes of Deonna.

CastorTroy · 26-01-2022 5:36pm

WWE?

CastorTroy · 04-02-2022 10:40am

Strange seeing the Royal Rumble footage on Impact.

And heel turn! I'm guessing another one next week.

riffmongous · 04-02-2022 11:01am

I'm glad that we finally get to see interesting heel Cardona here on Impact too

The White Wolf · 04-02-2022 11:31am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118536496#Comment_118536496

AEW I'd say, never a worse time to join the women's roster in WWE since 2015 and she can only fall up in the other place.

CastorTroy · 04-02-2022 12:19pm

I assumed WWE since AEW seems more open to wrestling elsewhere. Though I was just looking this morning and seems she signed a multi year contract with Impact last year.

The White Wolf · 04-02-2022 1:02pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118580487#Comment_118580487

I'd be curious to know what pay Moose and Grace are on.

CastorTroy · 11-02-2022 10:36am

In case people didn't recognise Konnor in his debut here, they kept his booking consistent with his time in WWE.

I assume Jai will do No Surrender then that's it?

Agent Coulson · 15-02-2022 10:51am

Josh Alexander's contract has expired and his US Visa has also expired.

https://twitter.com/Walking_Weapon/status/1493330986855284744?s=20&t=HvxPrTz0U825l8S00xxZ9w

riffmongous · 15-02-2022 12:53pm

That's mad, I wonder how it came to this.

Was this why Brandi name dropped him a few weeks ago?

CastorTroy · 15-02-2022 3:28pm

He may have been holding out for an offer from AEW or elsewhere or a better Impact offer. Maybe didn't like the thought of being forced to sign a multi year contract for a company you mightn't want to stay with in order to stay in the country.

riffmongous · 15-02-2022 7:50pm

It's a real shame if it came down to money because Josh and Impact went very well together. Impact were telling a good story that might never get a conclusion now, and I don't see Josh doing as well in AEW

riffmongous · 18-02-2022 10:49am

Impact seem to be holding the door open for his return at least, let's hope they can work something out

CastorTroy · 20-02-2022 12:43pm

They seem to be going the Trish/Mickie route with Mickie and Chelsea. How long until the turn?

I know it was for the BC story, but any result that involves Good Brothers retaining is not a good result.

Was obvious what was going to happen in the main event but it was just a question of who would turn. Though how it happened was stupid. I'm not a fan of the kendo stick as for years it's been a weak looking weapon with repeated shots just being used to wear down an opponent, yet last night it took Rhino out for a long time. If someone had hit a finisher on him at least it wouldn't have looked so bad.

Furious-Red · 20-02-2022 3:35pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118662575#Comment_118662575

I hope this doesnt mean we will see the Good Brothers back in AEW

20-02-2022 5:03pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118663346#Comment_118663346

Was thinking the exact same thing. Hope they never show back up in AEW. Don't think there is anyone in wrestling that has more "go away heat" with me.

ThePott · 20-02-2022 7:39pm

Could see Jay White and the Good Brothers, TUE and The Elite in a sort of Bullet Club Civil War story.

Tension over a Trios title if it were to be introduced.

Agent Coulson · 02-03-2022 11:38pm

Sacrifice on Saturday and Jonah vs. PCO is one I'm looking forward too.

CastorTroy · 03-03-2022 12:19am

Forgot that's on this Saturday. WWE MSG is Saturday as well, isn't it?

Loughc · 03-03-2022 3:25pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118723367#Comment_118723367

It is on Saturday but not televised.

CastorTroy · 03-03-2022 5:57pm

Ah, thought it was going to be on the Network. So the only reason they're promoting it on TV is for ticket sales?

Loughc · 03-03-2022 5:59pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118727004#Comment_118727004

It seems so, I checked the Network schedule and it's not appearing on it.

riffmongous · 06-03-2022 12:08pm

Spoilers for last night:

Josh returns! Going to face Moose finally at Rebellion

Some title changes too, Tasha won the women's belt which I didn't see coming, Influence beat the Inspiration, and best of all VBD beat the Good Brothers.

Pentecost · 06-03-2022 3:36pm

I watched this last night. Good show. I see Cassie and Jessie/Peyton and Billie haven't improved much in the ring since leaving WWE however.
