IMPACT's Homecoming 2019

[Vegas]

Since I invested hours of time for 3 straight nights in November attending the TV tapings at Sam's Town that set up this PPV, I am probably going to watch this show tomorrow. I am interested in seeing how Killer Kross may impact the main event.

Tomorrow evening, IMPACT wrestling invades the Asylum in Nashville, Tennessee for Homecoming. Below is the final updated card for the show. Be sure to tune into our live coverage starting at 8pm EST.

-Johnny Impact (c) versus. Brian Cage for the IMPACT World Championship

-Tessa Blanchard (c) versus Taya Valkryrie for the IMPACT Knockouts Championship
(Special guest referee Gail Kim)

-LAX (c) versus Lucha Bros (Pentagon Jr. and Rey Fenix) for the IMPACT World Tag Team Championship

-Jake Crist versus Ethan Page versus Rich Swann versus Trey Miguel in an Ultimate X Match for the X-Division Championship

-Eli Drake versus Abyss in a Monster’s Ball Match

-Moose versus. Eddie Edwards in a Falls Count Anywhere Match

-Sami Callihan versus Willie Mack

-Allie & Su Yung vs. Kiera Hogan & Jordynne Grace

Seems like a solid line up. Hope it's worth the investment of watching Vegas!

On a side note, I saw when Kross broke a cinder block on Travis Lee's head. We're you at that showing? Tremendous amount of strength to do that. Scary amount.

I was and in fact it happened on my side of the ring right in front of where I was sitting in my front row seat. I think that was Trevor Lee's IMPACT farewell.

That concrete block spot was a really cool spot. I love over-the-top moments like that. Looks like a solid show.

Trevor Lee is heading to NXT, did I see that somewhere? 🤔

That is the rumor. If so then his final PWG appearance would apparently be in 2 weeks when he challenges Jeff Cobb for the PWG World Championship.

[TTX]

He's definitely gone from Impact, and I could see him heading to nXt. Maybe we can see the Lees teaming there at some point.

I watched this show tonight.

What I especially liked:

LAX vs Lucha Brothers (best match of the night and best IMPACT match I recall seeing in awhile)

X-Division match to open the show

Tessa Blanchard vs Taya

Killer Kross's appearance at the end of the main event where he took out Johnny Impact and powerbombed Taya into the crowd (or at least I think wrestlers posing as the crowd)

I did not care however for Johnny Impact's costars from Survivor getting involved in the main event. That sucked IMO.

Overall I give this show a B-

I am a regular Survivor viewer, so it peaked my interest when I just read this. Was hoping it would have been the 2 guys from Johnny's Brochacho alliance, but it was the winner and another fan favorite there instead. I can see if you aren't a Survivor fan that it would have been stupid.

I thought the Edwards vs Moose match had some nice "holy shit" moments. Eddie's really coming into his own with the hardcore gimmick. Even Eli Drake performed well in the Monster's Ball match. Wasn't s bad show over all. I liked Cage's Terminator entrance! He'd be a good Terminator! Ha!
