[1/6] Impact Wrestling Homecoming Thread (8pm EST)

[trick]

Why does a muscle dude have a high flying moveset? So dumb to see and buries the specialty of real high fliers making up for their lack of size or strength.

Also, JoMo is fukkin terrible. Both these dudes just doing moves, no psychology in the match.

Agreed. I wasn't a fan of em here, or at LU. They are both mid-carders at best.

I enjoyed the show for the most part. It was fun. Maybe I'll see y'all at the next one.

 

[Reality Check]

BTW I'm fuming over Rock/Eli Drake comparison. Now I can't unsee the shyt

He’s been a g-league Rock bootleg for years. He’s wrestling’s version of Tha Realest and Top Dogg

Cage's lil motto is GMSI. Stands for Get My shyt In. Breh lets you know up front not to expect anything other than some fukkery.

I hate you right now

 

[krackdagawd]

pay per view wasn't bad at all aside from the women's match and the main event it was pretty dope. I'm not a fan of Johnny or Cage though so maybe it was more of a personal preference thing but yea ppv delivered this and WK looks like 2019 gonna be lit

 

[Cheech&Chong]

Great great show. Thats what a wrestling show should be. It had everything. I felt like a kid watching it. Impact is on fire. 2018 was phenomenal for them lets hope they can grow and build off that. Best wrestling card ive seen in many years

 

[Playaz Eyez]

In shape Taya is decent.

This. I can rock with her here. When she started gaining weight...my goodness she was horrendous

 

[FooFighters]

I suppose Twitch subscribers aren't the same as followers, cause they have 60000+ of those.

Guess subscribers are the ones who pay?

Yep

Ultimate X was fine, sure seemed like the ending was an accident at the end though Wouldn't be the first time that happened

Women's tag was predictably terrible, Su Yung is the worst in ring talent on any company's program. She can try to hide it behind her Great Kabuki bullshyt, but that's terrible, too. I mean, Kabuki's bullshyt was terrible almost 40 years ago. Allie and Kiera Hogan are not much better. Rosemary was legit unrecognizable. I actually thought it was going to be a fake out phony. Hard not to put on weight when you can't do cardio for 8 months

Eddie/Moose was fine, no one and nothing will ever get me to care about Eddie fukking Edwards, though.

It's fukk Sami Callihan forever.

Monster's Ball was fine, really quite surprised there weren't ECW bums hobbling out there to add to a long line of fukkery

LAX/Lucha Bros

KO match really did not need all that shenanigans with Gail Kim, even if it were to end up with Gail Kim coming out of retirement to put one of them over. Tessa wasn't "protected" with that finish, and it cheapened Taya's big win that was supposed to be some big moment.

Main event sucked tbh. Could not have looked more planned out move for move if they tried. That's a problem with Johnny his entire career, though. And to make it worse, most of it came off mistimed, slow, or flat on top of looking highly choreographed. And lmao at how botched the finish was.

Simulcasting Impact on Twitch is probably the best call they've made in a year, although asking for 15,000 subs in the next 3 months is pretty sad that that's how low the bar is for them at this stage. Also at the winner of Survivor SEASON 37.

Would have had he stayed in TNA, dude jumped to WWE at the worst possible time he could have

nah.

chris harris was already washed & out-of-shape for a good minute before he jumped to the WWE.

he was barely a curtain-jerker when he left. he was mainly complaining in cornette's office every week or some chit.​

AJ: In WWE, the single most important guy that could be on this show anyway
Daniels: TNA treated him like shyt, he got fed up and left
Kaz: See above
Low Ki: Oddly enough, THEY burned the bridge, not Ki
Jerry Lynn: Retired for years, definitely wouldn't be wrestling if he appeared
Kid Kash: 50 and a real dikk head who has shyt on TNA for a decade
Amazing Red/SAT: Red started his own promotion, is fairly in active only wrestling a few matches a year, SAT are both retired.
Michael Shane: Retired
Chris Sabin: ROH contracted

Moving on from the X-Divison
James Storm: Likely not to fukk with TNA again but possible I guess
Chris Harris: Basically retired for the past decade, last time he popped in for one of these shows was terribly out of shape and busted, and that was 8 years ago
Monty Brown: Has had nothing to do with wrestling for over a decade
Jeff Jarrett: Lol
Mike Tenay/Don West: Maybe
JB: WWE

If they do anything with guys from the Asylum era (which I can see them not doing anything at all tbh), it will most likely be the ECW cast offs and a Sinister Minister appearance during the Monster's Ball.

I was just talking about appearances. not wrestling.
the asylum years were 15-17 years ago.

most of these fallouts were when impact was under different management regimes.

 

[Wacky D]

agreed, we need them both in the next Mae Young tourney if they do another one

HELL NO.

they'd get jobbed out in the 1st round while the announcers send subliminal messages by constantly using the word "impact", like they did this year with sienna & Madison.

that stuff is bad business b.

i might be in the minority but i feel like a Su Yung NXT run would be fukkin dope

outta all the females in this match i'd wanna see her in NXT the most

nah. im not with that.

why would you want to see her go back to wrestling school??

not to mention, they'll screw her gimmick all up.

All they need is them caged dance girls and it's officially 2002

this is the first thing I was looking for.
I wonder what that chick with the lollipop looks like now. she was like a thicker version of velvet sky, before there was a velvet sky.

that and I forgot that they cant chant TNA anymore.
two matches in and im crackin' up at how the crowd is searching for a new chant.​

They should have brought back the knockout tag belts back before the E debuts the women's tag belts.

they don't have the depth to pull it off.

as long as people acknowledge that they did it before the E, they're good.

besides, im sure WOW has tag belts on deck.

Moose tried to kill Eddie!

Low key, this is one of the best feuds in wrestling right now.

Low key the Eddie/Moose feud has been wild underrated. They have good chemistry.

nah its HIGH-KEY.

nominated for feud of the year at the smark awards.​

Jordynne and Kiera don't give a damn about losing or being "jobbed out", they want the exposure more than anything i'm assuming

as far as Su Yung in NXT, Trips ain't gonna ruin the gimmick if he signs her he'll let her rock with it and it would freshen up the women's scene IMO cause no one there has a gimmick as strong as that

 

[Wacky D]

the WWE network is exposure to you?

by your logic, the WWE should have all the top talents in the wrestling world locked up. but theyre not even remotely close.

 

[jackswstd]

Pretty good show. Impact vs Cage, Taya vs Tessa and LAX vs Lucha Brothers were all good.

Glad Rosemary is back.

Moose vs Eddie was fun.
