Pretty good show that flew by quick. The IInspiration looked great, perfect fit for the knockouts tag team division. Trey Miguel's win felt like a big well-earned victory for him to finally become a champion. Glad to see Heath & Rhino back together, and at least for this night - no Braun!

Marked out for the awesome surprise appearance of the KISS Demon! Gauntlet match was a lot of fun. In my head I was thinking Christopher Daniels would've been an ideal winner here but then he wasn't even in it surprisingly. Mickie/Deonna was really good, though shocked by the outcome and kind of disappointed for Deonna's reign to come to an end, reminds me a bit of Mickie ending Madison Rayne's best run 10 years ago, but at least this match was great. Main event was as good as expected but then the post-match definitely caught me by surprise. I liked the unexpected twist there. Assuming Christian's done here now, was great while it lasted. Looking forward to what comes next and with Moose finally on top.

On a newsworthy night for Impact Wrestling that saw multiple title changes, the company announced their return to pay-per-view in addition to their next Impact Plus special during Saturday's Bound for Glory.

Hard to Kill returns on Saturday, January 8th, from Dallas, Texas, but the venue was not announced. This will be the third such event in company history.

November will see the return of Turning Point, set for Impact Plus. They didn't announce the date, but did say it will take place in Las Vegas. That means it is likely to be taped over the next few days as Impact holds their post-Bound for Glory TV tapings in Sin City.

In other news from Bound for Glory, Moose won the 20-man Call Your Shot gauntlet match which gave him the opportunity to cash in on any champion at any time. He chose to do so after Josh Alexander defeated Christian Cage for the World title in the main event, dispatching him quickly to kick off his title reign.

They did announce the date for Turning Point - November 20 - and that it will be live

Too many multi-person matches for my taste, but the Women's and World Title matches were both super enjoyable. El Phantasmo looked great in that three-way for the X-Division Title; would like to see him and Trey go on-on-one someday. The ending of the show with Moose standing over Josh and his family was a good visual, and it's actually cool to see Impact booking two of their own on top, for the first time in a long time.

EDIT: Iinspiration debuting and winning the tag belts is shit booking IMO; and that match was not good...everyone seemed to be stumbling all over each other and themselves. Really poor way to open a PPV. Rhino looks like he can barely move out there, which was kinda sad to see.
