DreamBroken Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Quote Impact Wrestling - Airing June 29, 2017 from Mumbai, India. Last show before Slammiversary *Contract Signing is held for the top matches at Slammiversary with all participants in the ring: -Rosemary vs Sienna. Sienna warns that signing is the dumbest thing Rosemary has done while Rosemary says they will sign her death certificate at Slammiversary. -Davey Richards & Angelina Love vs. Eddie Edwards & Alisha in Full Metal Mayhem. Davey says Eddie will have to kill him because he's going to bury him. Eddie promises to beat Davey's ass where it started. -Ethan Carter III vs. James Storm in a Strap Match: EC3 says he will tear Storm apart because he has to. Storm is held back by JB & Bruce Prichard. Storm promises to whip him until the scars burn. -Lashley vs Alberto el Patron: Champion vs. Champion; Lashley says the talking is over and everyone knows he will beat him and take his title. Alberto wants to do it right now and goes after Lashley starting a brawl among everyone in the ring. Bruce announces since everyone wants to fight, Lashley and Alberto will captain teams in an eight man tag. *Matt Sydal & Sonjay Dutt def. Low Ki & Trevor Lee when Sydal pins Lee with the Shooting Star Press *Eli Drake & Chris Adonis def. The Mumbai Cats *Swoggle def.

Whoa, that escalated quickly! "You're gonna regret this!" "Yeah, well you're gonna die!" *Swoggle def.

NikoBaltimore Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Sad thing is, as horrible as the Spud/Swoggle stuff is (and this in particular is pure shit) I'd rather see this any day than the Josh/JB bullshit. Kind of like a lesser of two evils type of thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well this is the same company that had dwarfs jacking off in trash cans on the first month or three of their shows. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramo2653 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 I didn't mind this episode aside from the silly music being played during the contract signings and the Spud/Swoggle match. Impact does some really dumb things here and there but overall I think they're trying more than say ROH they also make sure that their TV tapings don't have a weird overlap with their PPVs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the main event of the taping was the three guys that lost, and Psychosis, competing for the X division title. Good match, but not exactly a logical reward for a previous win. So it's probably half the history of the division in a nutshell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamBroken Posted June 30, 2017 Author Share Posted June 30, 2017 I feel like Slammiversary is shaping up to be a potentially really solid card with the top matches having a big time feel. Looking forward to it. Was hoping Matt Sydal would find a spot on the show as he's been a highlight since debuting. Did kinda like the Abyss tease for the Slammiversary match. Loving the Rosemary/Sienna feud, great work from both. This is pretty cool: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thibs Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Decent show. The good was good (contract signing stuff, x tag match, Slammi build) but the bad was REALLY bad (spud/hornswoggle, the announcers, etc). A lot of this is Dutch and Jeff writing stupid Memphis circa 1986 shit to entertain themselves instead of objectively trying to better the product. This, combined with their buddies hogging TV time, is going to hurt them in the long run erase the good that they're trying to do. Its the same kind of crap Jarrett did in 2006, when Earl Hebner and Larry Z were focal parts of storylines for an endless amount of months. Now we have Bruce Prichard, hornswoggle, and Karen.

Tim Evans Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Best thing about this show is hopefully it's the last with the Josh Matthews vs Borash feud. Those two on commentary make this show a chore to get through even on DVR. I'm guessing they didn't hype of the Marufuji match because they edited TV before they finalized it? PPV looks ok but nothing must watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
