DreamBroken Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 Impact is heading to Australia, as a replacement for postponed NJPW shows on June 30 and July 1. "IMPACT Wrestling replaced New Japan Pro Wrestling in Australia due to NJPW scheduling and talent availability issues. The NJPW Oceania Cup has been postponed. The IMPACT Down Under Tour will feature most of the IMPACT stars, numerous championship matches and special challenge matches against the best Australia-based wrestlers. The shows will be broadcast worldwide on FITE TV and across IMPACT Wrestling international broadcast platforms, digital and social media. Renowned wrestling podcaster Conrad Thompson will be coming to Australia for the IMPACT Down Under Tour and he will be hosting a live podcast on Sunday, July 2." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
writeradam84 Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 Watched this past Thursday's episode. It was pretty good although it felt like the six-man tag went on forever or it didn't have much behind it. Gresham and Speedball was great as usual. Some of my favorite things Impact does though are the backstage segments. I thought the segment with Rosemary, Jessicka and Jim Mitchell was fun and I'm looking forward to seeing where it goes (which I'm guessing is the eventual return of Jessicka back into Havok but we'll see). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 It's cool to see Speedball finally speak. He comes off like an excellent babyface who could be a fantastically smug heel at the same time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramo2653 Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 I've always gotten an "80's movie antagonist" vibe from Speedball so I can see it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best though was the GCW Title match between him and Masha Slamovich in Toronto back in March. He worked the crowd great and just came off as really smug and cocky. It’s honestly my favorite GCW match this year because of the overall violence factor in it too. They beat the hell out of each other, literally tore the place up and destroyed the ring.

Shartnado Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 Holy crap, guys! I just noticed that DAZN library also has IMPACT PPVs, on a few months' delay, obviously, but I just started watching No Surrender 2023! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See I get antagonist in a JCVD film. As in he's clean cut and smiles but he's secretly an awful person that JCVD has to fight to bring down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Throw in Masha, Killer Kelly, Jody Threat or Juggernaut and there's a smashing trios match in there somewhere! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
writeradam84 Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 Rosemary coming back from the Undead Realm as her alter ego Courtney Rush to save Jessicka is great! https://youtu.be/iAkfMMBcL8w I'm not ashamed to admit that the Undead Realm stuff they've been doing with The Coven, Rosemary, Jessica and James Mitchell is probably my favorite thing in wrestling right now. It's so goofy, so cheesy and honestly, a ton of ridiculous fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shartnado Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 It sure took me awhile, but I recently finished the No Surrender'23. The main event of Josh Alexander defending against Rich Swann was a hell of a match! Overall, a good card. It makes me pleasantly surprised that they can still produce at this level! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would *hope* the show gets headlined by Speedball vs. Ospreay since that was supposed to happen at the first Multiverse United before Ospreay's injury I could see Bully Ray lobbying for a match with Tanahashi since it's the ECW Arena 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
