Great to see Tenille back. She looked awesome here and I wish she was more in the mix still. TJP/Daga was pretty good and got a ton of time. Page/Swann and Ace/Petey both very solid. Kinda sad to see Romero go from that excellent match with Moose last week to losing a comedy match in under 5 minutes here. Fun closing angle building up Hard to Kill, which looks like another very good PPV lineup. And that ends another great year of Impact as I believe the next 2 holiday weeks are Best Of shows.

TJP vs. Daga was MOTN with Swann vs. Page being the 2nd best match. Tessa & Sami brawling on the street was a great way to close out of the year.

Yeah, that was a real good open. I don't remember anything about Tenille besides the bad dance from WWE and her and Jordynne had a fine match. 

Meanwhile, the end was... well, if the people outside were the staff and wrestlers, why were they chanting and "ooooohhhhhh"-ing like fans? It all just felt really dumb. 

I'm gonna go back and watch TJP/Daga because I didn't pay enough attention like a dummy

I think the TJ Perkins match from MLW was slightly better but he was the wrestler of the week.

[Curt McGirt]

Yeah, I think the MLW match is a little better too; a bit too much mirror stuff and counters in the Daga match. Daga took TJ's lead and they matched up well though.
