AxB Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 If you want to see an American promotion that knows how to book a Women's division so that everyone looks strong and nobody looks weak, watch Impact. It's very good right now. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Fowler Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 (edited) Impact is really incredibly well booked from a logic standpoint. It has other problems, but that's not one of them. Edited April 20, 2019 by Brian Fowler 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Cincinnati Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 I'm long past the point of thinking I can sell Impact's appeal to anyone. The brand is so damaged that most people don't want to hear it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxB Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 At the same time, I don't think there's many wrestling fans who haven't seen the Final Deletion, and a lot have seen Delete or Decay as well. I mean, I get it. Most people watch Raw and Smackdown, and NXT. That's six hours a week if you do it live. Add monthly WWE Network special events as well, that's a bellyfull of wrestling right there.

Victator Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 I unfollowed the Impact youtube channel when they had Joey Ryan do the dick spot with Tessa Blanchard. The Allie and Rosemary stuff is garbage Vince Russo would be ashamed to put his name on. They run shows in barns and give "comedy" indy wrestlers time on their shows. Their best stuff tops out at not awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The brand is so damaged that most people don't want to hear it. This is definitely true. I keep hearing good will about impact and that’s cool, good for them. I just can’t bring myself to watch that show anymore. I’m scarred for life.. I didn’t follow it for too long, just a few months around 2012 it think. Thank fuck. Not even WWE is so terrible that I can just quit the dam thing forever, dead and done. But RIP TNA. That’s what Claire Lynch and *shivers* Aces and Eights can do to a man.

Dolfan in NYC Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Okay, no one has mentioned Sasha the middle of last week, so unless she officially quits, this has run its course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Aww... you know better than to put things out into the Universe @Dolfan in NYC Bringing this back because of the update from Meltzer on the radio show this morning The WWE and Sasha are at an impasse. They want her back but she wants "things to be different" (Dave doesn't know what that "different" is) But the WWE is more than willing to just let her sit out the rest of her contract if that is what she chooses. But as Dave noted - if she decides to sit out, you can believe they will be adding time to the contract due to time lost for injuries. Dave figures next week will be the key point as the WWE was planning on putting her in the MITB match, so if she isn't announced for the show (since they are announcing the MITB participants on RAW) then you pretty much know what is happening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niners Fan in CT Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Their bench on RAW is dire. Alicia Fox came out to crickets and then proceeded to have a terrible match with Becky. Lacey Evans got the "WHAT?!" treatment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usos and Revival got a segment setting up a feud while the tag champs got a little interview time to address the increasing level of competition on Raw. Its not thriving, but it does look like it might be on the upswing if only for the Usos being around and WR debut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 When I saw Mikaze already defending his UUDD title vs Kofi, i thought for sure it was a way to get the belt off him now before he and Sasha leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
