Jonathan Gresham and Aiden Prince are wrestling now!

Fun episode with a lot going on throughout. Solid tag opener. Another great Savannah Evans performance, this time working babyface, complete with a "Savannah" chant from the crowd! She rules. Though I hope Tasha's absence isn't for long.

Thought Bully Ray was fantastic in his segments. Enjoying Santino in his role. Amazing cameo from Raven and REESE! That was hilariously random. Love the idea of a Killer Kelly/Taylor Wilde team, they could be great together.

Nice main event. I like the babyface all stars team, but a big win for The Design.

It's Ace Austin and Chris Bey vs Kevin Knight and KUSHIDA!  This is the quality wrestling that is setting apart IMPACT! from the other Number Threes in the US.  Well actually, MLW will bring in the international superstars too.  But you know where to find IMPACT! week to week.  Kevin Knight is a way taller version of Kris Bey, so Knight's offense has more ass behind it.  Oh MAN, GREAT dropkick counter to a Missile Dropkick by Knight- as Bey catches him at the top of the arc from the mat!  Ace and Bey are suitably sleazy enough to be IMPACT! representatives of Bullett Club.  KUSHIDA and Bey are fun in the ring together.  Oh MAN, Kevin Knight hits a BEAUTIFUL DROPKICK!  This match awesome and STRANGELY spectacular with it being all about gigantic air on dropkicks,  GREAT CUTTER ONTO THE APRON by Bey onto Knight!  This match was fucking great.  Giselle Shaw is in a singles match, as opposed to ruining another tagteam, which i love- so Shaw should win this one.  Either way, both these gals will totally lay it in.  Evans is the VADER of the KnockOuts and is coming into her own.  Evans beats the crud out Shaw.  We go to commercial.  Shaw is beating the crud out of Evans,  There is missing piece to the PSYCHOLOGY of the match.  Evans beats on Shaw again!  Fisherman Buster on Shaw! FOR TWO!  Slightest of cheating gives Shaw the WIN!  That was pretty good.  Crazzy Steve shows us his underutilized finisher! Johnny Swinger doesn't get much in against the magnificent Kenny King.  It's an eight-man match!  This should be good.  It's Frankie Kazarian!  It's Josh Alexander!  It's Rich Swann!  Yuya Uemura sneaks in!  The Design and CALLIHAN!  Or Bald Dudes!  Yuya and Angels are good in together.  Deaner and Josh Alexander beat on each other until Deaner bites him in the eye!  From there it goes to Rich Swann BOWLING FOR WRESTLERS with a Tope Con Hilo!  Kaz beats on Angels and ONE can forget how good Kazarian is.  Kan is a bit...limited.  The Design beat on Rich Swann.  It goes on a while.  Josh Alexander makes the hot tag and he goes German Suplex CRAZZZZEEE!  CALLIHAN gouges the eyes of Uemura!  They do the thing where everybody SHOWBOATS their finishers.  Yuya has the best,  a Northern Lights Bomb on Kan!  CALLIHAN hits completely GNARLY Piledriver for the win.  That was good.
