Impact Wrestling - 1/26/21

[DreamBroken]

Fun opening segment setting up the main event. Cool to see Trey back already, surprised but glad he's decided to stay and a nice win in addition. Not a ton else in ring wise but felt like a lot going on all around the show with different storylines progressing. Tony K always amusing in the AEW paid ad. I'm glad Jazz has stuck around, the setup for Susan/Jordynne was great. Solid overall show.

Impact Wrestling - January 26, 2021

*Impact World Champ Rich Swann opened the show with a promo. Swann talked about having all the targets on his back as champion. Swann then invited Tommy Dreamer to the ring. Swann put over Dreamer and mentioned that February 13 is Tommy Dreamer's 50th birthday which is the date of the next Impact+ special, No Surrender. Swann wanted to defend his championship against Dreamer on that night. Sami Callihan interrupted, arguing that he's the heart and soul of the company so he deserves a shot at the title. Chris Bey interrupted and said February 13 is also his birthday, so he should get the shot at the title. Moose interrupted and said they are all too scared to challenge for his TNA title. Moose points out that Swann has never beaten him and brings up Swann promising him a title shot to save Willie Mack. Swann said he gave Moose his opportunity last week but he wanted to do it on his time. Swann said he's beaten Sami and Bey but the match with Dreamer is already set as they are on his time. A brawl then broke out with Callihan, Bey, and Moose against Swann & Dreamer until Willie Mack made the save to clear the ring. Sami hit the lights, leading to Ken Shamrock appearing in the ring to help take out Swann, Dreamer, and Mack setting up an eight man tag with a mystery partner.

Surprisingly Swinger has used the money the best out of everyone.

Even Sami's voice is irritating to me.
