John from Cincinnati

First time I’ve watched Impact night of instead of letting them pile up on the DVR in a long time. Long live the re-brand! Long live TNA! Great showcase of all flavors of what this brand has been. A multi-man X scramble, a women’s showcase, a warm-up for the future tag champs, a PCO squash, and an inspirational main event with the face of the franchise and someone who was inspired by the franchise. Punctuated by a very effective motivational speech from someone I don’t tend to consider a great motivational speaker. This was great wrestling TV. Dolph should have done this a decade ago. Maybe he’d be headlining Mania this year. Excited to see what identity he finds and where.

That’s Rated FTR, thank you very much.

The Spade show rules. Clive Owen has his snappy dialogue fastball in midsession form.

Surprised you enjoyed something so worked-shooty. Not trying to score points or anything, just happy to see you got something out of it. Not what I normally associate with your taste.

Hi, I’ve been in a coma since mid-August 2023. Just woke up. Glad the Bucks are finally starting to lean into it. This is gonna be an all-time great build. Love it.

HOOK teasing a Luigi Primo appearance. This is huge.

Considering the state of the place and the unresolved issues? Not really. But that’s not what I said. And I hate to break kayfabe, but Octopus is clearly doing a bit.

Drag Race has fully taken the “this always wins in the middle of the Emmys” crown that once belonged to The Amazing Race.

Jimmy Johnson stop yelling at me, I did nothing wrong

“Scapegoat” for what? How honest can we get or is he under an NDA too? Does the midcard shit-disturber need to be reminding everyone he’s part of the reason Punk is doing big business and main eventing big shows elsewhere this year? Nail the Forbidden Door shut and pray his excursion is indefinite. They already ran him off, don’t care about any shooty insider nonsense they’re planning to cook up now that the bad man’s gone and they can’t deliver those matches.

Pacino’s playing it like Vincent is on coke 24/7. Happy to help.

Tony’s got me like Pacino

The best part of the Bucks being Sting’s last match is JR is gonna have to grit his teeth through a back rake. Can’t wait.

Without being rude, I don’t think this is where the people are with the Bucks. There’s so much other baggage before we even get to that conversation. For the record, I’m for this match. So nobody come at me for not being so. Thank you and carry on.

TNA can give you Sting vs Flair footage of you really need it.

No idea where to park this, but I have a few of these burning a hole in the DVR right now…

Copeland’s Maple Leafs/Brodie shirt was cool. IIRC, there was talk of the WWE fantasy hockey league on the E&C pod, and Christian characteristically came off as a dick. Good stuff.

Who’s gonna be Sting’s partner? Because they’ve made it fairly clear Sting isn’t interested in working a singles match. Honestly, Matt Koon (podcast co-host for Dax and Regal) has been calling the Bucks for the Sting finale, so I was kinda excited when they showed up.

I feel like a fool for thinking she was going to throw down with the Stinger.

What more do you need than Connery’s fit from Zardoz?

Stealing Jericho’s gimmick.

There are bankruptcy rumors about the studio that just put out the biggest movie of the year, anything is possible! Keep an open mind! Maybe Wembly 2 is Tony’s The Flash!

Tony’s gonna lose Best Booker this year but win Best Promotor!
