Ultimo Necro Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 If they had any sense at all then RD Evans would have been Archibald Peck on his journey through time. Will be great seeing him on TV. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 The Rough Riders promo is hilariously dirty. Not only does Johnny Swinger show up as himself (as expected) but so does... Tommy Dreamer? He's kinda channeling angry '80s Terry Funk, I guess. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Maybe he should have come as Eastern Championship Wrestling green suspenders Tommy Dreamer. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreamBroken Posted November 27, 2019 Author Share Posted November 27, 2019 This was pretty fun. the Rough Riders make for a great group, I like Alexia Nicole a lot and hope she gets signed full time. Loved DJ Too Large's Discus Lariat being called the "Platinum Discus" and the commentary during the Soviets beatdown. Great to see Robert Evans. Laughed at Sonny Sanders' saying they were gonna go out for some cheeseburgers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrianS81177 Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 This was a hell of a lot of fun, and something I'd like to see them do once or twice a year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

notoriusvig Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 I didn't watch the whole thing yet but the one thing that really stood out was Rip Rayzor (I think it was him) doing a drop down and actually tripping up his opponent. One of the only times I've seen that move given some context and meaning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Sugar Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 10 minutes in and I'm in love. Totally stealing this idea next year with Big West. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caley Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Hear me out: turn Impact! into IPWF full-time. Every one was having fun, the wrestlers were clearly happy not to have to bump as hard or put themselves in as much peril as usual with the throwback style. Even the commentary seemed like more fun (Though they were a little more wink, wink ironic than the rest of the show). I thoroughly enjoyed this.

AxB Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 Bigtime Dropkick! He should go for the cover! High Bodyslam! You don't see action like this every week! Sexton Hardcastle was Edge's name before he went to the WWF. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultimo Necro Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 (edited) Johnny Swinger being Johnny Swinger was incredible. Loved how his offence was innovative and mind blowing when these days he’s seen as old timey and past his sell by date. The double axe handle invention was brilliant. Shows are so much better when the performers are having fun. They could fast forward 10 years next year and do an attitude era show.

AxB Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 You know, I've just realised what the one thing they missed from old style regional shows was. No 'My cousin is a superstar' gimmicks. If Tommy Dreamer had (rather than being himself) showed up as Tommy Funk, talking about how his cousins Terry and Junior always said Tommy was the really mean one of the family, that would have been perfect. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
