Joey Ryan w/ a BLOCKBUSTER announcement on the SLAMMIVERSARY PRE-SHOW

Says all the women who accused him of abuse have hurt his mental health

[Mr. Nerfect]

Reading the card makes me sad.

* Ace Austin was an underneath guy this time last year, wasn't he? Eddie Edwards is good, but still around doing nothing, which gives him that stank. The dude needs to move on. MLW, ROH, NXT -- anything. There's a wrestler called Trey and a mystery challenger in a World Title match? If it's not Heath Miller, no one cares. It'll probably be Miro or Rob Van Dam.

* Jordynne Grace is that dumb-ass with the awful outlook on pro-wrestling. Deonna Purrazzo should have signed with MLW.

* Willie Mack is fine. Don't know what the fuck a Chris Bey is.

* Too many nameless women in one match. Find it exhausting just to read the list.

* I've heard good things about The North. They should sign somewhere else. Ken Shamrock wrestling would give me a nice nostalgia kick, but apparently he's not in a good way. Fuck Sami Callihan.

* Why is the TNA Title back? Why is Tommy Dreamer challenging for a belt in 2020?

* The Rascalz is an awful name for a tag team. They're probably losing to Gallows & Anderson.

Sounds fucking awful. I might watch it for kicks if they paid me $20 or whatever they're charging.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Also, fuck Joey Ryan forever and a day.

[Mr. Nerfect]

This promotion is so fucking carny.

[slik]

You never know Noid, this could be the show that surprises everyone and turns things around for IMPACT

Impact could dethrone WWE and AEW as the most beloved company in N American Rasslin....

K, found some streams

[Jordan]

I am really watching to see what happens with the WWE guys going back home to Impact. The Talkin Shop was pretty engaging and so I've decided to find a stream and watch tonight's show.

[Jordan]

What do you guys think the big announcement is? Is there a big announcement? There's gotta be a big announcement right?

[xrodmuc316]

Any of the WWE released have their 90 days up yet?

EC3 should show up with Dixie and wreck shit!

[Jordan]

Any of the WWE released have their 90 days up yet?

EC3 should show up with Dixie and wreck shit!

I think like all of them.

[Jordan]

I hope they have "fans" in attendance but they didn't for the last "tv taping" I caught the end of.

[Emperor Smeat]

Might end up watching the show since its been a while since I last saw something from Impact and have a bunch of free time tonight.

Also seems they've been doing a pretty good job with their tv shows in recent times based on stuff and feelings from others I've read elsewhere during the same time.

[slik]

here we go

[slik]

http://jiostatus.com/eduuni/result.php?box2

[Jordan]

No "fans"

[slik]

Motor City Machine Guns return to Impact

[Jordan]

Nice, MCMG! Looking pretty good too. This should be interesting.

[Emperor Smeat]

Motor City Machine Guns being one of the big surprises tonight is pretty cool.

[Jordan]

I wish Don West was on commentary.

[erickman]

mcg's this should be a good flippy match

[Jordan]

Just remember... TNA was created in the wake of the death of WCW, it was essentially "what was left of WCW", so technically this is still the reminents of WCW.

[Emperor Smeat]

Hate to see what the electric bill is going to be tonight for Impact considering they went a bit overboard with the lighting in the venue.

[slik]

good stream here

http://taima.tv/r/woooalt

[slik]

Josh Matthews definitely mentored by Michael Cole in WWE on commentary

[Jordan]

MCMG would have been cool to see in AEW.

[slik]

MCMG with an impressive showing

[Emperor Smeat]

Opening tag match was pretty good.

:lol: at the production botch.

[slik]

THE MOOSE IS LOOSE

Josh Matthews Cole on commentary

[Jordan]

I am looking forward to this match. You gotta give it to Dreamer, he's just like Funk. Can't imagine how he's going this long.

[slik]

r the rules for this just no dq?

[Emperor Smeat]

Probably would have just kept the old straps for the TNA World title belt since the new white straps makes the belt look somewhat worse.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Remember when Ken Shamrock was the first champion in TNA? If you had told me that he would have been on a TNA card in 2020, I'm not sure what I would have thought.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Fuck I was young when this promotion first started. It was a stone's throw from wrestling being cool, but that felt so long ago at the time.

[slik]

worst cutter every by Tommy Dreamer

[slik]

Tommy Dreamer shouldn't be wrestling

[Emperor Smeat]

Ouch at the thumbtacks spot to Dreamer.

[slik]

moose picks up a win in a match w/ old ass senior citizen tommy dreamer

[Jordan]

I enjoyed that kind of. Moose is really good and Tommy is still about as good as ever to be honest.

[slik]

Josh Matthews even does that weird fake laugh thing Michael Cole does

[slik]

I could see WWE being interested in Moose

"And he calls that THE MOOSE-SAULT"

[Emperor Smeat]

Wait ... since when is a Gauntlet match a Rumble style match?

[slik]

I wish Kylie had stayed with AEW

[slik]

I'm confused on the rules to this match

[slik]

Well Katie Forbes definitely is an asset

[Emperor Smeat]

This might be the weirdest "Gauntlet" match I have ever seen.

At least its been somewhat entertaining unlike that time WWE held a ridiculously long Gauntlet match on RAW that was both boring and didn't even have a real ending.

[Bad News Gertner]

Very fun show so far. Impact has been solid to great for a couple years now

[erickman]

this is how a womens match should go

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: all of that just for a very quick 1v1 match at the end.

That "Gauntlet" match was an entertaining train wreck.

[slik]

I wish Kylie stayed w/ AEW

[Emperor Smeat]

:y: Slater showed up

[slik]

Slater Gator baybay

[Emperor Smeat]

Going to assume Impact didn't bother to do an actual production test before this show started. Only an hour in and a bunch of production and audio botches have already happened.

[slik]

Gertner marking out

[erickman]

there still the spinal tap of wrestling

[slik]

Razor Ramon tribute gear from Willie Mack

[Jordan]

Impact has better women than AEW I think. So far a good show.

[slik]

Josh Matthews is the poor man's Michael Cole

[Jordan]

Josh Matthews is the poor man's Michael Cole

To me he sounds just like anyone trained under Cole.

[Emperor Smeat]

Ouch at Willie Mack's head from that cutter.

X-Division title match was pretty good despite the ending being sloppy.

[Jordan]

That was a perfect sell for a hell of a cutter! Chris Bey is really good. Really good match.

[Jordan]

Rhino & Slater!

[erickman]

fired again

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at Slater getting kicked out.

Not sure if Rhyno got slimmer or Slater really did bulk up a ton during his time off.

[Jordan]

Is he Heath Miller or Slater?

[Jordan]

Man The North are f'n great. This is good stuff. Shamrock doing much more than I thought he would.

[slik]

Ken Shamrock yikes

[slik]

The North is good

[Emperor Smeat]

Tag title match was pretty good.

MCMG vs. The North for the tag titles sounds pretty interesting.

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at that little WWE dig by Don Callis.

[slik]

This has been a decent show

Not sure I'd go out of my way to watch Impact so far but I haven't disliked the show or anything

[Triple A]

Watching now... no crowd noise really is brutal though

[Triple A]

Much better "tope suicida" than Jon Moxley

[Emperor Smeat]

This has been a decent show

Not sure I'd go out of my way to watch Impact so far but I haven't disliked the show or anything

Yeah feel the same at the moment.

Mostly enjoying this show so far but hasn't really hooked me in enough to consider watching Impact on a regular basis.

[slik]

Watching now... no crowd noise really is brutal though

Heath is in IMPACT

He cut a promo earlier

[Emperor Smeat]

Purrazzo busting out the Rings of Saturn was both pretty cool and brutal looking.

[Jordan]

Damn I really liked that match. Jordynn Grace is great, Purazzo was really good too.

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at Trey Miguel's theme starting off with someone taking a bong hit.

[Triple A]

Rich Swann is the mystery opponent... pretty disappointing........

[slik]

Impact teasing a big debut in the World Title match and delivery Rich Swann is vintage TNA

[erickman]

fooled us

[Jordan]

Oh this is good for Eric Young to be back home.

[slik]

Eric Young is double-vintage TNA

What a trash debut

[Emperor Smeat]

Would have been lame as hell had Rich Swann been the actual big surprise Impact hyped up for tonight's show.

At least Eric Young is an upgrade in terms of surprise even if there were other more notable names being teased and rumored.

[slik]

You can take the TNA name out of IMPACT but you can't take the self-defeating tactics out of the company, it seems ingrained

[slik]

Ace Austin seems pretty good, I'm a fan so far

[slik]

I predict the PPV ends with ACE winning and then Gallows/Anderson reforming ACES and EIGHTS with him

[Emperor Smeat]

Ouch at either Edwards or Austin landing right on the ring bell from that table spot to the outside.

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at Eric Young being the 2nd person eliminated.

[Triple A]

cool @ EC3... feel like that saved the show from being kinda "lame" in terms of surprises

[Jordan]

Great debut for the Good Brothers! The last match kind of lost me though. EC3 is back too!

[Jordan]

I predict the PPV ends with ACE winning and then Gallows/Anderson reforming ACES and EIGHTS with him

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

[Emperor Smeat]

What happened during the closing moments in the show?

Managed to see up until the Good Brothers arrived and them saving Edwards but then my internet connection went wonky for a bit afterwards.

[erickman]

next set of tapings should be good, looks like most of the new people will start then.

What a horribly stupid company

Bound for Glory will be the last PPV Impact ever does. This latest attempt to revitalize the company won't work and Anthem can't take the loss forever. Impact won't make it to 2021.

[slik]

I hope The North and Ace Austin land in AEW when Impact goes under. Kylie Ray if she apologizes to Tony Khan too.

[Evil Vito]

World Champion Eddie Edward in his capri pants giving me Jorts Cena vibes but less talented and charismatic and in-shape as Cena

Edwards and the Good Brothers drank beer with each other in the ring, then it cut away to this EC3 vignette:

[xrodmuc316]

I have to say the returns to Impact were the right moves for all of them, even if Eric Young was out 2nd.

WWE really sucks sometimes, how they botched EC3 so badly is beyond me. The guy is a carbon copy body guy of what Vince McMahon likes, I still don't know what happened.

Thanks.

That vignette from him was more interesting than almost everything from his previous run in WWE.

[Bad News Gertner]

AEW that's how you run a PPV

I got a feeling he wasn't a politic guy, and saw it as a "they want to pay me to keep me away from everyone else" situation...so he got his $ and saved it, and honestly probably kept his body healthy due to it.

[Lock Jaw]

Why is there TNA world title and an Impact world title

[slik]

Because you can take the TNA out of the name but never out of the booking.

[slik]

I think this was a lot of people tuning in who haven't seen the show ever or in a while. I was one of those people, I don't watch Impact and haven't given a ppv of theirs a chance in probably 2 or 3 years.


I tune in, I see Trey and Ace Austin in the main-event. I haven't see them before but if you tell me they are main-eventers I will believe it. Then you bring in Rich Swann and Eric Young -- Now, I have seen them before. I know Rich Swann is not a main-eventer. I've seen Eric Young before, both in TNA when he was doing his weird "I'm an underdog with a beard just like Daniel Bryan in WWE schtick" and in NXT as a low-level enhancement talent. Why am I supposed to believe they belong in a main-event? And you have Eddie Edwards who I mostly remember as a personality-lacking guy in a tag team now dressed like a Cena fanatic in capri jorts and neon.


It's a weird way to sell your main-event scene to people tuning in for the first time or first time in a while. Lord knows Josh Matthews doesn't help either.

[erickman]

Why is there TNA world title and an Impact world title

the story is kind of like the ftw belt in aew moose is defending a made up belt. the main reason tessa had the impact belt in mexico for 7 months before she was striped of it, so moose started defending the old tna belt.

i guess me and simple fan are the only ones here watching on tue nights. for the last few years impact lost all there big names to wwe nwa and aew then tessa leaves, and last me too movement got some fired. so we ended up with young unknown people in the main event.

Good Brothers, Kylie Rae, Heath, and EC3, yep I'll pay a little more attention now too.

[Bad News Gertner]

Was pretty jacked to see the MCMG. I was such a huge fan of theirs back in TNA. Saw then at a House Show against Beer Money

[James Steele]

EC3 is so overrated.

[Droford]

Gallows and Anderson won't amount to anything more than what they were in WWE long term.

Heath Slater will never be anything more than a joke because WWE treated him as one for so long.

EC3 has the potential to be a star again and I think it benefits him more that WWE hardly ever used him past NXT and he's essentially going back to the company that treated him like a main event level talent.

I just ranted about how AEW has too many tag teams but MCMG should have gone to AEW. Bucks vs MCMG would be as good today as it was 10 years ago minus the stupid name for the Bucks

[XL]

I always wanted MCMG to get an NXT run.

[Mr. Nerfect]

EC3 is so overrated.

Yeah, he's got that Triple H vibe going on. Great body, no real charisma, and an exaggerated reputation in the ring and on the mic.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I have to say the returns to Impact were the right moves for all of them, even if Eric Young was out 2nd.

WWE really sucks sometimes, how they botched EC3 so badly is beyond me. The guy is a carbon copy body guy of what Vince McMahon likes, I still don't know what happened.

He's not very good.

I wonder if this or SummerSlam will be the biggest event of the summer
