That's an interesting one. Good presentation but in ring I've always found iffy.

Yeah I'm not a huge fan tbh, much better womens wrestlers at Impact but I guess they wanted someone new. It's also so pretty interesting to note how like Josh, she's doing much better than her former tag partner since they left Impact

Agent Coulson · 07-03-2022 5:00pm

Poor Chelsea broke her wrist again.

CastorTroy · 07-03-2022 5:58pm

Wonder if she came back too soon. I'm sure there was a feud planned with Mickie in the next few weeks.

As happy as I am that the Good Brothers lost the titles, they'll likely still be on TV a lot with GOD and BC.

Josh signed a multi year deal going by what he said. Curious if it was the best he could get.

Macklin is just being a loner and not joining Honor No More? Going by the fact he attacked Eddie first.

riffmongous · 18-03-2022 1:54pm

I'm looking forward to seeing Zicky Dice going to "Swinger's Dungeon" next week :D

CastorTroy · 25-03-2022 10:44am

And there's the expected heel turn.

The White Wolf · 27-03-2022 4:46pm

Moose speared Alexander's Wife at a Destiny Wrestling show....show me a better heel right now! Awesome build up to Rebellion.

CastorTroy · 02-04-2022 6:44pm

At least the Briscoes lost through interference.

And we have Taya back. I didn't know Deonna's opponent but I don't watch AAA.

Looked like something went wrong during that Ultimate X match going by the way everyone was acting at the end.

Once again the poor production is clear. Whether it was entrance music or talking on the microphone. And when they cut to the back thru would miss the first few seconds of audio.

Surprised Sabin won.

CastorTroy · 22-04-2022 6:53pm

Rebellion card for tomorrow

Preshow - Trey Miguel (c) vs. Ace Austin vs. Mike Bailey Three-way match for the Impact X Division Championship

riffmongous · 22-04-2022 7:52pm

X-Division title match shouldn't be on a pre-show, especially not just to get more 'outsiders' on the show, or a 8 team tag match

Cherry_Cola · 22-04-2022 8:12pm

Agreed! Mike Bailey has to take this, he's so so good and has been a highlight of many shows lately. His BOLA performances in particular were a sight to behold.

CastorTroy · 22-04-2022 8:48pm

I thought the Edwards/Gresham match was for the title but looks like that's not the case.

This is one of their big PPVs that has been advertised for a while, though they had those other events. Yet the only match that been really built for more than a couple weeks is the Moose/Alexander match. And that got more promotion and video packages than Roman/Brock.

Pentecost · 24-04-2022 1:05am

Gresham was "not medically cleared" so Chris Bey replaced him. Some speculation that Tony Khan pulled him. The Influence v The IInspiration was as clunky as their matches always are but then they're not really relying on their in ring ability.

CastorTroy · 24-04-2022 1:27pm

Was reading he possibly suffered a concussion at AEW tapings.

Resulted in the X Division title match being moved to the main show where it should've been.

Apart from the X Division title match which I wasn't sure about, I don't think there were any real surprises with the winners.

Pentecost · 24-04-2022 2:54pm

It was a good show. I don't follow TNA all that closely week to week but I often end up watching the PPVs when they're on Saturdays. The X division match was great.

CastorTroy · 08-05-2022 12:41pm

Impact had another Special Live Event or whatever they're called last night. Under Siege.

Few things of note (will spoiler in case this is the first people heard of the event and want to check it out.

Mia Yim returned. So guess that rules out AEW for now.

Briscoes are new Impact tag champions.

Sami Callihan returned.

On a side note, I don't like Tasha's finisher, especially on someone like Havok.

riffmongous · 09-05-2022 10:42pm

There's a little bit too much forbidden door going on on Impact for my taste, at the moment, but otherwise I'm really enjoying the show at the moment. It seems more consistent in terms of both stories and wrestling than the other shows nowadays

CastorTroy · 09-05-2022 10:51pm

I think they use it well though. Like they've a small roster yet somehow they don't seem to have the same matches over and over again. They do lose people but then they also bring in people either part time or full time to change things up. And if I was to look at their matches I'm sure I would see a lot of repeats but it just doesn't always feel that way for some reason.

CastorTroy · 17-06-2022 9:24am

riffmongous · 17-06-2022 11:58am

That's a very nice card, looking forward to this.

I wonder who the final impact original will be? I hope it's going to be someone we haven't seen for a long time and not like Chris Harris or Storm

CastorTroy · 17-06-2022 1:09pm

Storm could be very likely with the number of returns he's had.

Was wondering why Morrissey isn't on the card but just looking and seems he's finished with Impact and his last match was the tag a couple weeks ago.

riffmongous · 17-06-2022 8:02pm

It's a pity he didnt stay with Impact, it surely would have been better for him than getting jobbed out in AEW like that

CastorTroy · 20-06-2022 11:11am

Loads of appearances from former TNA guys with the Impact originals match being the main one for appearances.

The fifth man was Davey Richards, so as was pointed out, they had representatives from Impact, AEW, NWA and MLW. Then Christy Hemme announcing, Traci Brooks (Mrs. Kaz) in the front row along with Earl Jenner. Brian was reffing. I thought they were going to have Dixie as the 5th member so when her music hit I thought I was right, but she just introduced Davey.

Storm did make an appearance, but after the tag match along with Chris Harris. Unfortunately the Good Brothers are champs again.

Videos from Sting, Angle and AJ. Was surprised to see AJ do one but he thanked WWE for letting him do it. When he said that, I was reminded of videos from kidnap victims in films/TV. "They're treating me well. They said I can go home soon". Maybe I should rewatch it and see if he was tapping out morse code asking for help.

Not sure who will face Josh now. Probably Sami or Eddie.

Blue_Dabadee · 20-06-2022 11:28am

It is great to that WWE allowed AJ Styles be apart of Slammiversary in some capacity.

He was Mr. TNA during the glory days of TNA. The moment he left is when a lot of people tuned out of the product.

Pentecost · 20-06-2022 12:02pm

I'd say TNA is less of a nuisance or any kind of threat to WWE since AEW came along so they probably don't mind a bit of cooperation.

Agent Coulson · 20-06-2022 12:23pm

I wouldn't have considered Davey Richards a Impact original.

I was expecting The Fallen Angel since Frankie was already on the team.

CastorTroy · 20-06-2022 1:24pm

One of the commentators said it could be anyone from the 20 year history, clearly to cover themselves. Magnus wasn't an original either. Though he did have a longer run than Davey.

Agent Coulson · 28-06-2022 5:29pm

Raven returns to Impact Wrestling on Friday for The Clockwork Orange House of Fun Match at Against All Odds.

riffmongous · 31-08-2022 11:02pm

Joe Doering going for surgery on brain cancer :/

CastorTroy · 02-09-2022 1:09pm

They wrote him out this week. Just said about how he has to travel his own path before he walked off.

Tommy Dreamer appeared in a backstage brawl breakup and was wondering is this his first tv appearance since the Dark Side of the Ring controversy?

Agent Coulson · 24-09-2022 12:03pm

Well Bobby didn't go running straight back to HHH he has stopped off at Impact

Loughc · 24-09-2022 2:27pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119658918#Comment_119658918

To be fair he’s so old he prob got lost on the way there.

CastorTroy · 24-09-2022 3:08pm

With how he shaved the facial hair, I was trying to think who he reminded me of and I could just think of the Chuckle Brothers.

Allie Katch to fight Masha on Impact in a Monster's Ball match next week.

So last time Juice was on Impact, I think he was feuding with Good Brothers. Now they're gone and he's a Bullet Club member.

Can't really blame Macklin for the table not breaking. I've said before they don't have a lot of room to work with outside the ring.

Furious-Red · 24-09-2022 5:34pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119659354#Comment_119659354

Would he even be a big resigning for wwe?

CastorTroy · 24-09-2022 6:13pm

Nope. Even for the 5 seconds he wasn't injured, he was the least popular member of UE.

Loughc · 24-09-2022 9:52pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119659912#Comment_119659912

Not even in the slightest. WWE needs to stay away from auld lads like him.

CastorTroy · 07-10-2022 10:13am

Bound For Glory card:

Pre-show: Brian Myers Open Challenge for Digital Media Championship
Impact World Champion Josh Alexander defends against Eddie Edwards
Knockouts Champion Jordynne Grace defends against Masha Slamovich
Knockouts Tag Team Champions VXT defend against Taya Valkyrie & Jessicka
Tag Team Champions The OGK defend against Motor City Machine Guns
X-Division Champion Mike Bailey defends against Frankie Kazarian
Mickie James vs. Mia Yim
Call Your Shot gauntlet

Also Raven is the latest induction to the Impact Hall of Fame.

riffmongous · 07-10-2022 3:14pm

I'd be happy with pretty much any results except Eddie Edwards winning.

CastorTroy · 07-10-2022 6:18pm

Also this could be Mickie's final match if she loses

The White Wolf · 09-10-2022 8:23pm

The OGK are reportedly finished now with Impact.

Furious-Red · 09-10-2022 8:48pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119723098#Comment_119723098

Didnt they retain their titles at BFG?

CastorTroy · 09-10-2022 10:20pm

Yeah, they retained. Unless they lose them at the next tapings.

Wasn't impressed with the Call Your Shot winner. That's going back down the road that caused them trouble before. Only thing that could make that result worse is if he teamed with Good Brothers, who win back the tag titles.

No offence to the Knockouts but it did seem like they were only there to take part in spots, though I guess that's the same for a lot of Rumble participants. Can't even remember Gisele doing anything.

CM Punk chants started when Bobby came out.

Dango challenged Brian Myers. He reminds me so much of The Deep from The Boys.

riffmongous · 09-10-2022 11:08pm

I'll be happy to see the back of the roh stuff, pco was the only decent one so glad to see he's staying

Im pleased with the winner of the Gauntlet, I think Josh needs someone like that for his next feud, and it's nice to have more uncertainty as to the outcome

riffmongous · 30-11-2022 11:50pm

Another Throwback Throwdown planned for this year, hope it's as good as last year's

This is the only time I will ever say it but I wish the Good Brothers were in Impact right now

CastorTroy · 09-12-2022 2:11pm

Not sure if it's just his look, his time with Dark Order or his appearances on BTE/Sammy's Vlog, but Alan Angels does not fit into The Design, as I think they're called now. And then the smile doesn't look anyway menacing, if that's what he's going for.

And they just throw a random unannounced ~60 min match on to the weekly show between Mike Bailey and Josh Alexander.

Agent Coulson · 11-12-2022 12:44pm

The full amazing 60 minutes uncut between Josh & Speedball

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xzv4FIZw-ok&ab_channel=IMPACTWrestling

CastorTroy · 23-12-2022 12:00pm

Hmm, this week's episode had the Impact flashback to Hogan coming out and talking. Not sure why they chose that clip. Usually when they have a clip with someone no longer with the company, it's facing a current guy, usually with the current guy winning. Hope they're not bringing Hogan back. Maybe just a one off?

The White Wolf · 23-12-2022 3:25pm

Bully Ray beat down of his ex father in law incoming.
