Currently watching the latest episode of Impact... I've made it to the second hour! Thoughts so far... Don Callis and Josh Matthews are really good together, much better than with Kevin Kelly or Elijah Burke/JB. Dreamer is always great but Eddie Edwards is fucking horrible. I love Eddie Kingston so I was down with his segment with LAX. I also like Eli Drake and Moose a lot.

I like that they showed one of the best matches ever, but it was kind of weird because it was with three guys who don't work there and two who work for WWE. I really like them showing a match "courtesy of HOH" that is cool.

Nit picky thought, Eli Drake should be clean shaven so he doesn't look so much like Brian Cage.

Pentagon and Fantasma won but OVE and Sami Callahan ripped Pentagon's mask apart from the eye hole afterwards.

I'll watch this weeks episode at some point this weekend, maybe tonight. I enjoyed last weeks. Impact of right now doesn't really have that bad TNA itch anymore it seems.

I think I preferred Impact last week to Lucha Underground actually. However I did watch an Impact special that was taped in a very small studio/gym and a very indy style cheap production/camera operation. I didn't like that show. It was shot kind of like MLW but much tighter on the steady cam and not at as pretty. MLW does very well with the small buildings and not making you feel too rinky dink watching it.

This weeks episode wrapped up the last bit of tapings in Orlando and next week will be the newest one they filmed in Canada a few weeks ago.

Reported to be a short term contract up at the end July so it might just be for Slammiversary and the succeeding tapings.

I have more or less enjoyed Impact since Callis and his "crew" took over, more than TNA/ GFW days. My only "gripe" is that they really don't have a tag team division to speak of anymore. It's pretty much just LAX..... and everyone else. Plus, all the teams around are pretty small physically...... and you guys know how much I enjoy Big Sweaty Men |

Agree, they have no cornerstone tag team which is something they've always had. Never liked the pairing of Z&E and also think Konley is better than being in Cult of Lee. Need some legitimate tag teams in the division other than LAX and OVE.

I liked Konley in Paragon Pro and other indie shows, I think he's better with Trevor because he'd fall into that "generic X Division guy" mold if he was a singles wrestler OVE can do things in the ring and take bumps that I can never do, and for some reason I dig the one Crist brother wrestling in more or less a 3 piece suit I was skeptical of the new LAX, but they can really work a crowd as both heels and faces Z&E are a solid team. Both are young, good looking guys who can do some crazy athletic stuff and that can always get a babyface pop. I guess the one thing I see missing would be that "powerhouse" style tag team. I think something more along the lines of Sheamus and Cesaro or War Raiders would be a good fit considering the other teams as opposed to a "LOD" unbumpable monsters style team. A team that has size and can pull off some feats of strength, but can still bust out some athletic spots or take arm drags smoothly |

Good, Impact needs to lock in some solid key players for the next several years. I would hunt down Brian Cage next and try and get him a solid deal that prevents him from signing with WWE but able to work anywhere else.

I would also lock in Sami Callihan. I don't think he'd go back to WWE anytime soon, but I do see him as one of the standouts since debuting for Impact

Yeah, seen its now being reported as long term. Don't think he worked the Slammiversary lead up tapings so I don't think there is any thing on the table for him at there at the moment. It being Slammiversary though I'd like to see him challenge Aldis for the NWA Worlds Heavyweight Championship.

Sami is great at getting attention and deserves alot of the credit for Impact's recent turn around.

You can't seriously think he should be blackballed for it.

Honestly, in the strangest way possible, that was the best thing to happen to both guy's careers in years. I've shared the locker room with both guys, and they are nice guys/ solid workers..... but I haven't cared for Eddie since him and Davey split. He's shown more personality in this angle that I ever have seen from him before. As far as Sami goes, I do give him props for comiting to the gimmick and sticking to it, without being cheesy or hokey in a time where "Kayfabe is Dead"
