Marty Sugar Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 So...Laurel debuts at the Rumble and is in The Fed for over a month while still on Impact TV? Is that allowed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(BP) Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 They used much older tapes of Roode for awhile after he was gone and the commentary just danced around that he was already in NXT. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thibs Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 I like that they’re getting new event names to give the company a fresh feel. Read that Aries/Impact was incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I realized after I posted it that TNA is just a dinky Canadian indie now so who cares if their Women's Champion immediately wanted a release after she won the strap...her eventually being in the WWE just helps them not have to pay for 5-10 fans to come to a show in Ottawa next time around.

Is that allowed? There was a world title series a couple years that contained Austin Aries and James Storm who were both in NXT at the time. These are the same people (well some of them) who promoted Bobby Roode on the GFW Amped shows as someone trying to invade the company even though the tapings were 3 years ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Fowler Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Yeah, I think all of that stuff was in the can, not just the matches, but the commentary, the video packages, all of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I realized, "Oh, this is for a recent episode." Then I noticed that I wrote this post in January.

DreamBroken Posted March 9, 2018 Author Share Posted March 9, 2018 Great all wrestling straight through episode with every match being good to great. Loved the presentation throughout. Fun tag opener. Sydal/Ishimori ruled, huge fan of Ishimori's title reign and I hope he sticks around Impact. Laurel was doing her career best work during her title run so I'll miss her now, good stuff here. Under different circumstances, I would've dug the Unprettier on the outside as the finish, that looked properly brutal and the follow up curb stomp was nice too. As it was, the finish was a little abrupt but a nice moment for Allie and blowoff to the feud. Lashley/Cage against oVe was solid and the main event was as good as expected.

Jamal Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Really enjoyed Allie/LVN. A good conclusion to a feud that’s spanned a year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Cincinnati Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 First time I've watched a full Impact in years. Overall, pretty good. No idea who the new LAX guys are. They're fine, but they don't compare favourably to the peak of Homicide and Hernandez. What was the deal with the lengthy segment of Christian vs Monty Brown? Also, I'm still a little bummed that Monty never got to become a bigger deal. I like Sydal. I like Sydal's (new?) gimmick. Good match. Since I haven't been watching, I wasn't super invested in Allie. Anyone mind explaining the appeal? No need to explain Laurel. I understand that. I assume Lashley vs Cage is coming in the near future. I'd buy that for a dollar. Aries vs Johnny Gimmickname was very good. Which of course it was going to be. I may watch next week. But I still hate the Feast or Fired gimmick. There are worse ways to spend two hours. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Every week they do a longish vault clip to hype their network/fill a segment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allie was brought in as Maria's non-wrestling assistant (Despite being a supposedly good wrestler on the indies (I say supposedly not to be sarcastic but because I never watched any of her Indy stuff)), who got treated me crap by Maria and Laurel. They did a romance angle with her and her real-life man Braxton Sutter, culminating in him ditching Laurel at the altar for Allie. Then he proceeded to "train" Allie and she had some lengthy feuds with Rosemarie and Allie by never won the title. So this is basically the endpoint of a year and a half plus storyline. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
