Impact Wrestling: World Champion Tessa Blanchard (Air Date Spoilers Only)

[Simple Fan]

Late start this week, Johnny Impact is starting the show looking for Eli Drake in the back.

[Simple Fan]

Now he's in the ring but Eli is supposedly in Mexico.

[Simple Fan]

KM is coming down with a ref and a mic.

[Simple Fan]

KM told Johnny Drake wasn't there and Johnny said he was. KM doesn't like to be called a liar.

[rez]

Is this fan fiction shit? I thought GFW was out

[Simple Fan]

KM wants Johnny to defend his #1 contendership. KM is undefeated in GFW but has mostly had mixed tag matches.

[Simple Fan]

Is this fan fiction shit? I thought GFW was out

Nah, GFW is still around.

[Simple Fan]

Johnny wins and hands KM his first loss.

[Simple Fan]

Ava Stories vs Taya Valkyrie is next.

[Simple Fan]

Taya easily wins again. She's now grabbed a mic. She said lucha royalty has arrived and she wants the Knockouts Championship. Rosemary has interrupted her after she called out Karen Jarrett.

[Simple Fan]

Rosemary and Yaya started fighting and Sienna came down all three are now fighting. Allie is out now followed by Taryn Terrell.

[Simple Fan]

Taya, Sienna, and Taryn got the upper hand and Gail Kim made the save.

[Simple Fan]

OVE still in Mexico trying to get a fair title shot from LAX. Confronted LAX in the club and got their title shot next week.

[Simple Fan]

Fantasma & Pagano vs EC3 & Eddie Edwards is next

[DaveWadding]

I should probably start watching just for Fantasma matches.

[Simple Fan]

Texano Jr came down and helped the AAA guys win. They beat EC3 and Eddie with a bullrope and James Storm made the save.

[Triple A]

impactwrestling.com constantly calling the Knockouts division the "Knockout's" division

[Simple Fan]

Johnny Impact was backstage looking for Eli again when he ran across the AAA guys. Texano said he didn't like Johnny in his country, in his company AAA, and that he just didn't like him. Johnny put his #1 contendership up for the second time tonight against Texano.

[Simple Fan]

Kong Kong vs Mahalbali Shera is next.

[Simple Fan]

Kongo Kong won with a top rope splash.

[Simple Fan]

Johnny Impact won the match for the #1 contendership for the GFW Global Championship against Texano. Was a pretty good match.

[Simple Fan]

Showing Eli Drake vs Máscara de Bronce for the GFW Global Championship from Mexico now. Full match, Eli Drake won.

[Simple Fan]

Watching Impact tonight earlier and sobar than usual so I'll update this thread. Haven't like the move to Canada and was liking Cornette as the authority figure. Another name change as well but at least they have the correct branding on the titles now.

Show is starting with a Knockouts match KC Spinalli vs Madison Rayne vs Sienna vs Allie. Winner becomes #1 contender.

[Simple Fan]

Allie won and will face the winner of the Knockouts Championship match tonight between Rosemary and Laural Van Ness

[Simple Fan]

Tag team match is next Trevor Lee and Kaleb Conley vs Desmond Xavier and Ishimori.

[Simple Fan]

Really like Ishimori.

[Simple Fan]

Ishimori scored the oin on Trevor Lee who is the X Division champion. Wouldn't mind Ishimori as the X Division Champion.

[Simple Fan]

GWN Moment of the Week showing Gail Kim winning the first Knockouts Championship.

[Simple Fan]

6 man tag is next, El Patron, Petey Williams, and Johnny Impact vs Eli Drake, Chis Adonis, and a mystery partner.

[Simple Fan]

Jimmy Jacobs appears to be the mystery partner.

[Simple Fan]

No he's not, says he got them something better than a partner. The new Monster of Impact Wrestling Kongo Kong.

[Simple Fan]

Patron got the pin on Eli Drake. Johnny had the win but Patron attacked him and stole the pin fall.

[Simple Fan]

Dan Lambert challenged James Storm to match in which if Storm loses he has to leave Impact. Storm accepted.

[Simple Fan]

Laural Van Ness won the Knockouts Championship. Rosemary went to the top rope and spit mist but Laural ducked and put her hands up. Smeared her hand in Rosemary's face and hit an unprettier with Rosemary hanging from the top rope.

[Simple Fan]

They finally got to airing the tapings that happened at the beginning of the year. Aries returned during a Eli Drake Facts of Life segment where Eli called himself the greatest man to ever live. Austin wanted a match but Drake refused until Adonis hit Aries with the belt. Drake called for a ref and started the match but Aries kicked out and eventually won the match and championship.

Since Anthem has taken over every taping seems like a totally new company. They've went from Impact with TNA belts to an Impact vs GFW story to GFW/Impact merger with Cornette as authority figure and back to Impact but with GFW belts now. Canada tapings were just awful.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Aries is such an improvement over Drake, but it's just...amazing this is still going.

[Simple Fan]

Looking forward to seeing this set of tapings so I'm updating the thread. Anthem seems to have settled in and have a vision of what they want to be which is something the company has lacked for a while. Here's highlights from the Redemption main event.

[Simple Fan]

Missed the Aries town hall meeting. Assume he just told them his arm was broke. Watching on my phone so it took a bit to load. Cage vs Trevor Lee was good opener. Could see Cage in the X Division.

[Simple Fan]

Can say I didn't expect the Sami/Eddie story to turn out like this but its probably the most entertaining thing Eddie has done in Impact since the Wolves split. Glad they are moving towards Yung vs Rosemary, thought for a second they were going to continue with her and Allie. Also thought they were doing away with the Grand Championship but I guess not. Seems Penta going to be busy with Moose, Eli, and Aries all wanting a shot and every one those matches should be good.

This was weird, not sure who that was that got taken out but the X card on the chest seems like a message for Sydal.

Damn it, Grado is back.

[erickman]

ddp saved his life

[Simple Fan]

Yeah DDP has done as one great stuff for guys but I can't stand Grado. Plus Joseph Parks is back as well.

Six man was a dive fest.

[Simple Fan]

Ishimori vs Sydal next should be good.

[Simple Fan]

I didn't expect thst from Rosemary/Yung. Match never happened and Yung ended up putting Rosemary in a coffin. My only hope is this results in Rosemary going back to being more like the character she was when she debuted.

[Anybody Thrilla]

That whole last segment was...bizarre. I didn't exactly hate it, though.

Yeah, haven't been big on Yung since she came in but Im interested to see what happens with Rosemary now.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Zachary Wentz! Another one of my homies!

[Anybody Thrilla]

Oh shit, just read all of that. I'm friends with Clayton Gainz too, and Jake Manning also does stand up comedy. I had him on my show a few months ago. This is wild.

is this the twitch show tonight

[Simple Fan]

Yeah

[Simple Fan]

Looked up what the Open Invite Scramble Championship was, looks like it could have 10+ wrestlers involved.

[erickman]

josh figuring out twitch this is a hoot

[Simple Fan]

Yeah his Twitch pre shows are better than WWE's just for the behind the scenes shit it shows and him absolutely not knowing anything about Twitch.

[erickman]

make them pay for there drinks

[Simple Fan]

Sugar Dunkerton with some good insight on what the Open Scramble Championship was. You know that guy Thilla? He said something about Ohio, did catch the whole conversation.

[DaveWadding]

Can't wait for Penta to break some arms.

[DaveWadding]

Wish I could drink right now though. Have to figure out dinner & if I have to drive to get it first

[Simple Fan]

Audio is choppy and low.

[Simple Fan]

Lighting sucks as well, can barley see them on the hard camera.

[DaveWadding]

Yeah, people complained about the production value of LU vs Impact, but this makes that shit look WWE quality.

[DaveWadding]

LIGHTS ON

[DaveWadding]

Jesus that's a tiny ring

[Simple Fan]

They've put some light on the ring now, just need to fix that audio.

[DaveWadding]

Oh cool, way to miss that knee spot

[DaveWadding]

FOUR TWO THREE GET FAME

[Simple Fan]

Audio seems good now.

[erickman]

think they fixed it

[Simple Fan]

Don't think they're going to fix the size of that ring though.

[Simple Fan]

Not a bad match oncs they got everything fixed.

[DaveWadding]

I'm pretty sure Shane Strickland is dead.

[Simple Fan]

Don't know any of these teams so it should be interesting.

[DaveWadding]

That Zero Gravity tag team move where he threw his partner into a 450.damn.

[Simple Fan]

Big guy doing the moonsault was impressive.

[DaveWadding]

Taya's booty basically has its own gravitational pull. Ridiculous.

[Simple Fan]

Women's match was best match so far.

[Simple Fan]

Scramble match time. With this ring this should be a true clusterfuck.

[DaveWadding]

Who in the blue hell are any of these dudes?

[DaveWadding]

Except RICH SWANN

[DaveWadding]

Can you handle this?

[Simple Fan]

Stream couldn't handle it.

[erickman]

wow rich swan broke the stream

[Simple Fan]

Back now, show has had a rough start.

[Simple Fan]

Suplex from the guys knees was cool.

[Simple Fan]

I like the Air Wolf gimmick.

[Simple Fan]

Larry D is back.

[Simple Fan]

OK he's an actual man scout, wasn't sure how to take that name.

[DaveWadding]

Looks like he scouts men on the side.

[Simple Fan]

Oh man he shouldn't have kicked out of the ddt.

[Simple Fan]

A fucking tent

[Simple Fan]

Didn't expect it to go that way after he kicked out of the ddt. Thought Tommy would just beat the shit out of him but we got a tent.

[Simple Fan]

E-Li-Drake

[Simple Fan]

Good match, spot before the Gravy Train was impressive. Eli's coming for Penta.

[erickman]

A fucking tent

lets go camping

[DaveWadding]

Jimmy Jacobs is getting a package piledriver through the chairs

[Simple Fan]

The one odd wooden chair

[DaveWadding]

Merry Christmas.

[Simple Fan]

Jacobs is dead, well seeing as he's the Zombie Process maybe he's alive now.

[DaveWadding]

I feel that Matthews and Dutt are a really bad/boring commentary team

[Simple Fan]

I'm glad Callis took Dutts spot on Impact.

[Simple Fan]

Just starting the show. Beginning had me worried to start. Thought something had actually happened to Don health wise before they went into the Callahan attack.

[Simple Fan]

Not a big fan of DJZ and Andrew Everette team. Not enough legit tag teams in the division.

[Simple Fan]

is that winter with grado looks and sounds like her

I don't know, I fast forward through the Grado match.

[Simple Fan]

4 way should be good. Fantasma vs Ishimori vs Drago vs Areostar

[Simple Fan]

First time they've had a AAA Champion bring his belt to the ring.

[Simple Fan]

Not firing Sami but also not allowing a match between Sami and Eddie in Impact makes no sense. Why keep a guy you want to fire because Eddie wants a match with him but not allow the match?

[Simple Fan]

Takashi Sugiura vs Brian Cage was good, thought about fast forwarding it but I'm glad I didn't.

[Simple Fan]

So HOH will host Sami vs Eddie but Impact will air it. Should have just let HOH air it on Twitch.

[Simple Fan]

Penta still Reigns over Impact. Didn't expect a title change but it looks like theylw move towards a Eli/Steiner split and fued which should be good.

Well shit Everette and DJZ are now tag champs. Really wish they'd sign some legitimate tag teams.

Guess they cremated Rosemary.

Not a fa n of the team but is a cool finisher.

Don is back

[Simple Fan]

Eddie Kingston back and apart of LAX. Runs "business" in New York and is third in command behind Konnan and Homicide. Konnan got jumped but is safe and he's here to get LAX out of their losing streak.

[Simple Fan]

Desmond Xavier vs Petey Williams was pretty good. Not a big fan of Desmonds Finisher though, back handspring pele kick. Has to face Brian Cage next week at Under Pressure which should be an interesting match up. Winner get an X Division title shot.

Moose beat Kongo Kong in the main event and after the match a video showed and Jimmy Jacobs is the latest victim of the red X postcard.

[Simple Fan]

Under Pressure this week a bunch of big matches tonight.

[Simple Fan]

Eli Drake vs Scott Steiner starting things off.

[Simple Fan]

Drake beat him with a chair shot similar to the one Steiner gave Eli inadvertently that csuasd them to lose the tag titles.

[Simple Fan]

Tessa Blanchard vs Madison Rayne is next.

[Simple Fan]

Didn't see Madison winning that match but she got her with a roll up.

[Simple Fan]

Brian Cage vs Desmond Xavier is next. This is the match I was looking forward to this week. Just a big mistake match size wise but both can do something much in the ring, should be interesting. Winner gets an X Division title shot.

[Simple Fan]

Match didn't disappoint. Cage won but Desmond Xavier had his best performance in Impact in my opinion.

[Simple Fan]

Allie and Su Yung in a Last Rights(casket) match for the Knockouts Championship is next.

[Simple Fan]

Not the best executed at all. Su Yung is the new Knockouts Champion. Not sure what this means for Allie or Rosemary.

[Simple Fan]

Main event time, Aries vs Pentagon for the Impact World Championship.

[Simple Fan]

Was a pretty good match but I didn't see it taking the turn it did. Restated twice after double count outs by both guys and Aries eventually resorted to a low blow as the ref called for the match to restart. Don't think this fued is over by any means and can get alot more interesting. Looking forward to this next set of tapings and Slammiversary.

Not the best executed at all. Su Yung is the new Knockouts Champion. Not sure what this means for Allie or Rosemary.

yeah I wonder when rosemary will come back from her acl hopefuly it will be by bound for glory time

[Simple Fan]

I hope she's back before Slammiversary. Just not a big fan of Su Yung. Allie is what she is but I think she's digressed with this Su Yung fued.

[erickman]

Tessa needs to get the belt, she will probly get it before all in so she can defend it there.

[Simple Fan]

Agree Tessa just looks like so much more of a bad ass than the rest the Knockouts. They've done a great job with Allie but she's still clumsy looking in the ring in my opinion.

Wow I gotta say scrolling from top to bottom, this page of this thread will get me to once again give Impact a try. Great roster, seems to have some compelling stories... And the production looks great.

[Simple Fan]

Figured the Tweets would be a good way to show pieces of the show instead of the 15 minute video recap of the whole show. Don and Scott have been great for Impact though after the disaster that was last year.

[Bad News Gertner]

Impact just taped 4 weeks of T.V in my city this past weekend. I normally go to our local shows, but I'm going away on vacation next week so my gf was not too keen on me spending this past weekend watching wrestling. A ton of my friends went and they all said it was a fantastic group of shows. D'Amore's local indie fed as I've previously mentioned is in our city, so they've been partnering on shows.

Keep as eye out for Aiden Prince. He's a local guy who had a match against Aries. Great match from what I've heard.

Impact is starting with a tag team championship match, Drago and Areostar vs Z&E.

[Simple Fan]

Good match lucha style match, still not a fan of the Z&E pairing though.

[Simple Fan]

Must be the last Show from the previous taping. Alot of video packages and vignettes.

[Simple Fan]

2nd match is Cult of Lee vs LAX.

[Simple Fan]

Kingston has brought life back to LAX, they pick up the win. Diamante isn't to thrilled with Kingston showing up though.

[Simple Fan]

Fact of Life is next and Eli will be naming the Top 5 DUMMYS in Impact.

[Simple Fan]

Top 5 DUMMYs in Impact Wrestling:

5. Impact Zone fans
4. Impact Management
3. Austin Aries
2. Impact fans
1. Moose.

Eli Drake vs Moose is next week with the winner facing Aries at Slammiversary. Sadly they have spoiled this themselves via the Slammiversary press conference they held this week. Also pretty sure Eli Drake is on his way to WWE but I hope he stays.

[Simple Fan]

Brian Cage vs Rheet Raju now.

[Simple Fan]

Cage easily won, fastest math he's had in Impact.

[Simple Fan]

Matt Sydal out after the match.

[Simple Fan]

Sydal wanted Cage to drop his X Division title shot, open his 3rd eye, and join him but Cage wasn't having it.

[Simple Fan]

Going to the woods, Eddie vs Sami. Eddie doesn't care if Sami dies he wants his camera man to film everything.

[Simple Fan]

Well hell the jumped to Skype between Josh and Austin Aries.

[Simple Fan]

Alright back to the woods

Holy shit that was amazing. Better than anything Hardy has done just for the seriousness of it. No rings or referees, just two guys fighting in the woods.

I haven't watched TNA in quite a while, but I'm procrastinating hard at the moment. Holy shit this was awful. What's with the music? Why are they fighting in the woods? Why the murdery undertones? Did they rehire Russo?

[Simple Fan]

Shit was great, you should watch the whole thing. Blood fued and this is what its come to, Eddie has changed and is on the brink of murdering Sami.

[Jordan]

I think it looked like two guys who had no idea how to fight. I mean what the hell were they doing? Rolling around grabbing leaves swinging their arms about and grunting in some kind of Cactus Jack ripoff. I don't think there was one believable punch the whole scene. Also I've seen Tommy Dreamer get up from much worse than a bullshit shot to the fat gut with handle of a baseball bat. Yeah I don't like the mixing of "episodic" tv like this. It is cool for Lucha Underground because that whole promotion is a gimmick but for Impact, this was bad. Eddie Edwards just constantly making noises as if he was Jack Torrence from The Shining... I get that it's a blood feud but that doesn't make it great.

[Simple Fan]

In my opinion it was better than the Broken Hardy stuff and I loved that. I don't mind the mixing of episodic TV style with wrestling, it brings something different to the show and I know I didn't look away any during the segment. It served its purpose good or bad though and this fued might not ever end.

[Jordan]

I like Eli Drake a lot, he's really great.

[Simple Fan]

Starting late this week will probably just have the twitter run down.

[Simple Fan]

Tessa Blanchard vs Kira Hogan was a damn good match.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Impact trying to make money off of Sami/Edwards makes me sick. They should all be ashamed.

[Simple Fan]

It's worked out pretty well for them, not sure what they'd need to be ashamed of. Better hold on to your puke bucket because I don't see it ending anytime soon. The evolution of Eddie Edwards has been great and probably the most entertaining he's ever been outside the ring.

[Jordan]

Who was the big guy who beat down Petey Williams?

[Simple Fan]

I don't know but he's who has been doing the backstage attacks for months now and leaving the red X card on the bodies. I guess we'll find out more next week as I think they start with the new tapings they did a few weeks ago.

[Simple Fan]

Seems his name is Killer Kross. Watched a few YouTube clips, pretty intense guy. Has a shoot fighter gimmick.

[Jordan]

Seems oddly competent when speaking, could be good.

[Jordan]

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.

[Jordan]

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.

[Jordan]

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

[Simple Fan]

Just starting to watch, LAX vs Z&E for the Tag Team Championships starts things off.

[Simple Fan]

Match was alright nothing special. New champs, LAX back on top with Kingston in charge.

[Simple Fan]

Haven't been a fan of KM but I'm coming around to him.

[Simple Fan]

Well, Scott Steiner is fighting Fallah Bahs match against KM. Don't really get that, he hates fat asses.

[Simple Fan]

Taya vs Madison Rayne is next.

[Simple Fan]

Madison won, not real big on her push whe n they have women like Taya and Tessa Blanchard.

[Simple Fan]

Konnan is back and wants to talk to Kingston.

[Simple Fan]

Konnan seems suspect of King.

[Simple Fan]

Main event now, OVE vs Pentagon and Fantasma.

[Simple Fan]

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

[Jordan]

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.

[Jordan]

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.

[Simple Fan]

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.

[erickman]

good to see eli drake sticking with impact, he would have been lost on nxt.

[Simple Fan]

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

[Rollermacka]

Well, Scott Steiner is fighting Fallah Bahs match against KM. Don't really get that, he hates fat asses.

I think it was just one of those "we have him through this set of tapings, lets use him one more time" kinda deals.

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 :naughty:

[Simple Fan]

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.

[Rollermacka]

I think all of the teams they currently have, have their own unique qualities

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

[erickman]

now it is multi year

[Jordan]

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.

[Rollermacka]

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

[Simple Fan]

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.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

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

He should be blackballed not praised.

[Simple Fan]

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

[Rollermacka]

He should be blackballed not praised.

Why should he be black balled?

[Simple Fan]

STD still butt hurt about the Eddie Edwards bat incident.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Why should he be black balled?

You can't seriously be asking that.

[Simple Fan]

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

[Rollermacka]

STD still butt hurt about the Eddie Edwards bat incident.

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"

[Simple Fan]

Yeah most interesting Eddie has been in Impact as a singles guy.

[Simple Fan]

Just starting, looks like they had a good crowd for this set of tapings.

[Simple Fan]

Rich Swann debuting against Trevor Lee.

[Simple Fan]

Decent match once Swann quit dancing.
