Definitely gonna check this out when it gets only Dailymotion, I'm glad that Impact is isn't a running joke in the world of Pro Wrestling anymore. Back to being a respectable promotion again. The more alternatives, the better:

NJPW
ROH
Impact
MLW
Lucha Underground

May not be a good time to be a WWE fan, but a damn good time to be a Pro Wrestling fan :salute:.

Behind You
I liked the PPV; it was pretty damn enjoyable. Biggest gripe I had with it was that the camera work was trash in too many spots and that camera entire crew needs to be replaced.
Also the crowd was decent which usually isn't the case with Impact live crowds...they even did some funny chants that fit the moments in the ring especially during the Sami Callihan vs Pentagon Jr match
And the best thing about Slammiversary was that the multiple grudge matches actually felt like grudge matches and not just a regular match between people who supposedly hate one another but don't act like once they are in the ring together. The matches on this card were violent as fukk.

The Matches:

4-Way opening match was a good way to start a show and had some really cool spots in it; all 4 guys worked their asses off

Allie/Tessa Blanchard was good; I was shocked they let Tessa get the win clean but I really do like that Tessa acts like the type of heel her dad was. You don't really see that in women's wrestling all that much

Dreamer/Edwards was meh...you cannot tease a flaming table and then not do a fukking flaming table! That is some bullshyt and all the stuff after Edwards won was lame

The only bad thing about the Sydal/Cage X-division match was Sydal botching the Shooting Star but aside from that it was an damn good match

Su Yung/Madison Rayne was a good match that resolved their little feud nicely
Man, I love Su Yung's entire gimmick; she's on some next level Undertaker mixed with satanic Kevin Sullivan type shyt and she has one of the best entrances in pro wrestling
If HHH isn't plotting to steal Su Yung away from Impact then he is a lot dumber than I give him credit for

LAX vs LAX was a fun match (probably my favorite of the card) that was more of the ECW style matches I remember than the Dreamer/Edwards match which shocked me. I forgot how much of a beast Hernandez could be when he is allowed to cut loose in a match. The big man was tossing the young bucks around like rag dolls and flying all over the place...his cardio is complete garbage though. I was worried he might pass out by 6 minutes into the match; and Homicide was crazy oot there just hurling himself all over the ring and going into tables and shyt. And nuLAX are a very underrated team too, them two guys have some impressive tag moves

The hair vs mask stipulation in the Callihan/Pentagon Jr match made no sense to me because Pentagon's mask actually means something to him while Callihan hardly has any fukking hair as it is but the match was good despite that. They were working stiff as hell out there. These crazy b*stards were stabbing one another with railroad spikes for an extended period of their match!

Aries/Moose was a good heel little man vs face big man match with Aries taking every shortcut known to man to try and keep Moose off of him. There is nothing worse than when the tiny heel gets to have 95% of the offense in a match against someone twice their size.
The only problem I had with the match was the ending sequence that looked to me like maybe Moose forgot what he was supposed to do...it just all came together very awkwardly
