Another solid show. Fallah and Sami had a nice match, and Fallah is really moving away from his 'comedy tag wrestler' style towards being a serious asskicker guy. Maybe moving into title contention soon? Taya and Madison managed to base their whole match over whether someone would tap out to a half crab or not.

LAX vs the North had a false finish that looked like an actual finish blown call, with the commentators calling for replays and not getting them. Felt strange early on see the LAX guys going for roll-ups to try and get pins, because usually they do the thing of doing roll-ups to get opponents into position for a flying kick or cutter or something, 

So weed works on Rascalz like spinach works on Popeye? There's a gimmick Russo wishes he thought of. Dez' finish in the four way match was incredible. Should have replayed that too.

The main event, it was what I expected. Nice nostalgia trip for the ECW arena fans, was never going to be, like, good. Sabu's valet looked a bit lost in the closing posing section.

Show flies by. Callihan/Fallah got quite good by the end, dug Fallah's hope spots. Really enjoyed Taya/Madison again, liked their little feud a lot. LAX tag and the X Division 4 way were both super fast paced and pretty good. RVD/Dreamer was fun, loved Callis' "It feels like 1999 again!" at the end considering the first post here.

Back on form this week for Impact, a lot to enjoy throughout the show.  

Fallah is the most improved guy in any promotion over the last 18 months. He’s over with the Impact audience, his big spots always look great and he can move for a big guy.  Sami was his usual crisp self and the Crists and Scarlett added to the match without it resorting to a clustermuck.

I REALLY enjoyed Disco v Ashley Vox. Disco has channeled his ‘go away heat’ into legit hatred.  It’s going to be incredible seeing him get destroyed by Tessa.  I genuinely don’t think this angle would have been better with Eli Drake v Tessa, Disco is perfect as a chauvinistic scumbag.

Taya and Madison was fun, as was the 4-way and tag match.

The main event was ok, but can’t say I’m looking forward to Moose v Team ECW

The show was really good wrestling wise with Baah vs. Callihan and both title matches delivering. Disco vs. Vox made you want to see Tessa cave Disco's face in when they meet.
