DreamBroken Posted December 18, 2019 Author Share Posted December 18, 2019 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.

Hail Sabin Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 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 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEAN Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 I think the TJ Perkins match from MLW was slightly better but he was the wrestler of the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
