I just REVIEWED the entire series and the only time they got anything close to "mature" storytelling, it was f'ing terrible. All other storytelling was pedestrian. Now, i could see Lucha Underground having some success with this. It probably could have worked (in an entirely un-Rocky kind of way) in WSX. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dynamite has supplanted Raw and Smackdown as the most watched wrestling show in Canada. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, Impact had Allie stabbed/murdered by Su Yung to write her off when she left for AEW. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Boy I sure don't remember the Bunny or Luchasaurus in Impact. If I had seen Kevin Sullivan show up I would have marked out big time. And the FREDDY GLOVE~! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why haven’t I been watching Impact? Do they have this kind of stuff regularly? If so, I am there for it. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 (edited) Impact is at its best when it goes for the goofy. They had an angle with Su Yung recently where she split personalities/characters and became both a hot businesswoman (Susan) and a hot innocent naive wrestler (Suzy) along with hot ghost/zombie/onryo/whatever. And don't get me started on the hilarity of Wrestle House and Swinger's Palace. Or WRESTLE COURT! Boy, having Dreamer judge a trial on Joey Ryan won't age well. EDIT: Okay, I'll just say it. Suzy was a little girl persona but it felt weird to write "hot little girl". Think Alexa Bliss in the overalls and ponytails and you'll get my drift.

Sweet, put-upon assistant to Maria. I won't say any more than that because it's a fun storyline, just don't expect the same character. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elizium Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 The Laurel Van Ness (Chelsea Green)/Braxton Sutter (The Blade) wedding on Impact is still the best wrestling wedding ever. That whole angle with Allie was amazing 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That whole angle with Allie was amazing Apologies to Okada/Omega I, but this is your true 2017 Match of the Year. Hyper-athletic Tokyo Dome main events have been done before and after, a perfectly booked trashy wrestling wedding is WAY higher on the degree of difficulty. Or at least history would make you think. Do we know who produced it? Edited December 6, 2021 by John E. Dynamite 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greggulator Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 I love every second of that wedding. How has Rosemary never made a leap to NXT or AEW? I have never watched any Impact except for whatever stuff she has been involved with, and I love every second of it. She also from what I have watched seemed like she’s at least decent in ring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
