TNA Wrestling Megathread

Nice tribute from Dreamer to Animal.

What does everyone think of Impact overall?

I am on the side of its alright. Not 'must see wrestling TV' - then again, what is these days? WWE isn't and hasn't been in years imo.

Conflicting reports but essentially there's the same mystery surrounding it.

Impact and NWA have been probably my favourite companies this year. I don't expect a lot from my pro wrestling and both shows fit the bill.

Totally foegot about NWA and power. A really a good show. The one hour time slow works so perfectly.

Might rewatch an episode actually.

Only impact could get away with an attempted murder angle where the bride no sells it while Dreamer is the one that screams in anguish.

Mostly happened out of nowhere. Hints that something was in store but not this. And there was some mystery being built with things like Taya saying he wasn't who we think he is.
I didn't see it coming but has me interested.
And that's at least the second time recently they've managed to keep me interested after Wrestle House.
It's like a lower budget Lucha Undergroound.

The Good Brothers are the go between's to get a working relationship with NJPW.

With Don Callis turning up on Full Gear as well it looks like might behind the scenes work going between the two companies as well.

Reports on this week's episode had him as in critical condition

The Rascalz heading for the WWE by the looks of it.

The Sinister Minister is just so good.

It's a shame, I assume they end up on the over crowed NXT and then become the new Lucha house party for Smackdown. Got to see them wrestle in Belfast for OTT, good team, hopefully, I'm wrong and they get a good run.

Well they killed Kimber Lee this week so it's grand.

Johnny Swinger up in wrestlers court could be a segment for the ages.

I see AJ Styles is being teased for a return to the Impact Zone

So next Tuesday night then.

The question now is what does Impact need to do with their own talent to keep the viewers they gain next week?
Personally with the likes of Wrestle House running into the wedding and who shot John E stories as well as the likes of Heath, I think they've had some of the better backstage bits than any of the shows.

If anyone is going to watch live on Tuesday, Impact stream the show live on there Twitch Channel.

Great promo by the two lads, Don Callis is so good at what he does. We've seen the Cleaner, will we now see Omega as the Collector going after other world championships?

Kenny travelling through different companies taking on their best would be class. A match in Impact against Swann or Bey has huge potential. Interesting stuff about the Golden Sheik too, never knew that. Also really liked the paid advertisement, some nice subtle digs from Tony.

Reading that Impact got a big bump in viewers on Twitch, so good news all round. The Alexander/Sabin match was excellent and a great way to start the show, hopefully they retain some of the new audience.
