Impact Wrestling: World Champion Tessa Blanchard (Air Date Spoilers Only)
Sincerel I'm about the only one who watches Impact on a weekly basis and the ROH thread has dropped Impact I figure I'd start one for the new Impact Wrestling.
Now they are only 3 episodes in to the new regime taking over and as a fan I think it's been complete shit really. First episode was a complete WWE reference the whole show pretty much. 2nd episode was ok but not a lot of wrestling in my option. The last episode had a lot of tag team wrestling but the last segment was just bad. Karen Jarrett of all people was brought out, and I guess she's got some type of power they never really said but she ended up slapping Josh Mathews who was really the best part of the segment. Might have been an alright segment had it been in the middle of the show but it's not something to end a show on. Really trying to be more WWE like than they were with Hogan I think. This week Bruce had a sit down interview with Lashley that was very similar to a Micheal Cole style interview. Wasn't even needed because people know who Lashley is. Now had they interviewed one of these many new faces they have that would have made sense but they pretty much just used it to kind of turn Bobby face. Now to what I do like, all the new faces are nice and they seem to be working with a lot of different promotions. Feel like they had a lot of smaller promotions lined up to face the Hardys as they have had the Future Stars of Wrestling Tag Team titles and last week had Monster Factory Tag Team champions on the show with their titles. Seems like they just reworked things and it worked I think. Next week they are supposed to crown new tag team champions but really haven't said anything about who will be in the match at all just that next they will crown champions. Cody Rhodes has been good and him and Moose wrestle next week for the Grand Championship, I just hope they drop the round stuff and have a regular match. Actually wore Bullet Club gear this week which I'm not sure if thats legal or not. If they are truly doping the TNA they really need to get new titles. All but the Grand Championship still have TNA on them and its dumb to say TNA is dead only to still have those titles. They just don't seem to be able to find their identity and are reaching for anything they can. Trying to be like WWE but different at the same time. Trying to be great shouldn't mean being WWE but I think that's what they are going for. TNA was great when it was an alternative to WWE and once they realize that they might get somewhere. TLDR: Impact Wrestling has no idea what they are. Quote:

That's sounds like just another one of your regular threads though, didn't even realize it was about Impact. Just thought someone new that didn't get your humor might be able to find this thread a bit easier. It's been pretty bad but not that bad, not yet at least.

Some mod was editing the title of the thread. but it's probably better if TNA had it's own separate thread.

Chris Masters just jumped Moose after Moose defended the Grand Championship at a house show in my hometown and it was being taped for Impact apparently. Masters just about kicked me in the face jumping the rail lol

It wasn't am Impact show by the way. It's the indie promotion that Scott D'Amore owns. A few guys like Kongo Kong and Idris Abraham who have appeared in Impact lately are from it. Border City Wrestling.

Wonder how many WWE references they make this week. Karen Jarrett starting the show talking about Maria.

X Division match Andrew Everett vs DJZ. Going to count Josh saying Impact is trending world wide as a WWE reference, also AJ Styles shout out for being first X Division champion.

Everett won by roll up. Shane Helms and Trevor Lee came out after the match and told him he'd get an opportunity next week. No word what that opportunity was though, didn't sound like he'd get an X Division title shot though as Helms said he hadn't waned in with one win.

Match was real spotty at the beginning, just as it was getting good they did the roll up finish.

Rosemary is great, looks like she stole Brother Nero's contacts. ODB interrupts her and JB.

Rosemary wanted to run but the Knockouts locker room ran her back into the ring. They all want title shots and now there's a huge brawl.

She's some type of authority figure. Haven't really said what her title is but that her family was back. I think she's the new head of the Knockouts but they haven't officially said that.

EC3 is out now saying he needs to be the real EC3. Made a phenomenal and It factor reference, James Storm interrupts jealous because he didn't get referenced. EC3 didn't mention him because he was talking about multiple time world champions but really just making more WWE references.

Weird, that turned into a fan segment and the fans will decide which one gets a title shot.

I guess superkicking a judge is a good way to get rid of this shit. One judge down 2 to go Cody.

Brandi Rhodes told Cody off in between rounds and she doesn't give a fucking shit, him and Moose can kill each other for all she cares. Cody won round 2.

Split decision Moose won. Really hope they use this to drop the rounds. Last two matches have come down to the judges.

Hope Decay or LAX win this match. Haven't really been impressed with Reno Scum. I like Garza Jr but feel like he'd be a better singles wrestler.

LAX won, really looked impressive and cohesive. Better show this week but nothing special. Next week has Eddie Edwards and Davey Richards in a last man standing match that should be pretty good.

Doesn't matter everybody knows those titles mean shit now that the Broken Hardyz left without losing them.

Kind of agree, should have just created new titles for the rebrand but I guess they are to cheap. Thought Decay tampering with Vanguard 1 was a good way to write the Hardys off but they didn't really explain what they did and just brushed it off the next week.
