Impact+ "Victory Road" - 9/23/22


Recommended Posts

So glad that Tasha/Kelly wasn't a squash like I worried it would be, especially when it got moved to the preshow. Like Masha/Deonna a couple weeks ago, it ended up a really awesome match instead. Great to see Tasha back in the ring after it had been a couple months now, still one of the absolute best while Kelly always shines. Thought these two worked very well together and look forward to more from both. Ended up one of my favorite matches of the night.

Speedball/Delirious was fantastic! Tons of cool counters and sequences throughout. Delirious' cobra clutch suplex looked brutal then Speedball's fire back in to the finish ruled. Speedball is the man, quickly becoming one of my favorite X title reigns. Fun MCMG tag, PCO with another wild bump on the finish.

Mickie/Gisele was excellent. Mickie has had one of her best years and continues to look great, so I wish she wasn't doing a retirement angle but I hope the Last Rodeo continues on for a good while yet. 

DEAN's favorite concept, the Triple Threat Revolver! 3 ways upon 3 ways. This had it's moments and I think the right guy won. Kazarian/Speedball feels like a fitting BFG match and has a lot of potential to be a showstealer. Kazarian's one of my all time favorite X Champs so I'll very much look forward to this with Speedball being on fire now. I like seeing Bobby Fish, I think he could be an awesome addition to the X Division/to the overall roster if he plans on sticking around.

Trios match was solid. Surprising to see Josh take the fall, so I would definitely assume now that Eddie is not winning at BFG. Jordynne/Max delivered the goods. Masha/Katch should be wild.  Main event was properly brutal and an awesome huge win for Maclin. Glad for him to get another one, great moment. Sami's Cactus tribute gear was a nice touch. 2 weeks to set up the rest of BFG, looking forward to it and hope it's an epic one. This was a very enjoyable show overall.

Bobby Fish in IMPACT is hilarious.  It is clear he didnt want to go there but when the plan of getting Cole and O Reilly to join him was an epic fail he was screwed.  

His promo about what a "lightning rod for controversy" he's become was clownish stuff. Sometimes you swing and miss, sometimes you swing three times before Bugs Bunny's slowball even reaches the plate.

Nice show though. The Grace vs. Masha build has me hooked. Triple Threat Revolver remains a good idea. Mickie looked great.

They had a pre-show show!  Juice Robinson is here, is in New Japan and will be on Dynamite Wednesday!  And he's married to Toni Storm!  Robinson is keeping busy.
