I got to finally watch last weeks Impact last night. It was fun. Could have used more in ring action but they do segments so good.

Finally got to watch this weeks episode. Not bad but I'd have preferred one or two more real matches. The Wrestle House stuff if funny bit takes up a bit of air time. My guess is this is a bubble/pod situation where they filmed a lot while people were protected from COVID. Looks like we will have more content at least till John E looses his virginity to Rosemary lol. One thing Impact does good is the small stuff. Like when Sami was coming out for his match and you see RVD's silhouette. With that and Fulton coming up behind Eddie in a recent match they are doing some visually creative things that I dig. Another small thing was having a few heels come out for Swann's retirement speech. I thought it was an angle till that happened. With people like Reno Scum out I thought it was legit. Then good old EY proved I was right originally. Good stuff. Lastly it was cool seeing MCMG in ring with Jimmy Jacobs. It's a shame Jimmy is retired from in ring action right now. Him the Guns and Rhino would be a sweet Detroit/Michigan based faction.

Wrestle House is funny stuff, I agree about the little things like Fulton appearing out of nowhere and stuff like that... |

Fulton should be main event . They sadly missed the Fulton v Sami feud I wonder if COVID put a hold on that feud. I really think some ideas have been put on hold because they will be so much better in front of a live audience instead of an empty arena. The thing is Fulton is still young. They started the build of him as a man on his own with break up of OVE. As we get closer to live audiences I think we will see Fulton get tired of being used by Ace. I agree 100 he is main event. He was my pick for mystery 4th member in main event of Slammaversary. I thought a beast World Champion would be a nice change for Impact and lead to great matchups. Not to mention the story line of him winning the belt that Ace thought he was set to win. |

Ontheedge I like it you're right Fulton is young and plenty of time yet . Also like that idea Fulton wins title that Ace Austin thought he would win .

Caught up with last weeks show last night. I am not saying it is the best but for me Impact is the most entertaining show right now. The lows are not that low for me and do not last long. Good laughs and great in ring action. I am loving Wrestle House and I really want a Wrestle House video game. Emergence is looking to be a banger of a two night event. MCMG vs The North II will be amazing. A 30 minute KO Ironman match on night 2 should be as well. Looking forward to where they go with the Good Brothers vs Austin and Fulton. Who will challenge Eddie Edwards? I am guessing EY finally does but who knows. Only down side is it seems they are setting up an EC3 vs Moose match for TNA title so I do not see Trey beating Moose. If not for the EC3 storyline I would pick Trey to win. Either way I hope their Twitch feed works Tuesday. If not I will have to wait till the weekend again to watch night 1.

Watched this past episode, night one of Emergence. Great show from start to finish. I loved the opening. Gave it that PPV feel. Also like they referred to it as Chapter One as opposed to night or part which they did later but not in the opening. The graphic for Emergence was really nice with cool coloring. The matches were awesome. I loved the way they had Raju turn on Bey to win the X title. They booked the match with each of them helping each other which in Bey's case made sense as a pin on Raju by TJP would cost him the title. Raju has Bey's back till it dawned on him he could finally have gold. So he did it. The Desi Hitman earned his title. Moose vs Trey was really good. Trey is a future champion. Moose continues to be an underappreciated talent in my eyes. EC3 continues to do more in his return then he did in WWE and he hasn't had a match yet. The Good Brothers vs Austin/Fulton was a fun hard hitting match and hopefully not the last between the teams. I am enjoying the booking for the Good Brothers so far. Wrestle House continues to be entertaining as hell. They have got better by not overdoing the segments in both the number and the time each one runs. I am guessing at the start they did a lot to establish what is going on. I really can see that being a semi regular thing over the years. Some wrestlers stay, some leave and some new ones join. Like the roster of a superhero team. MCMG vs The North II was as good as I hoped. The question now is what is next for each team. MCMG vs Good Brothers eventually will be fire. I really hope Impact can resign Ethan Page. He is too incredible to let go but I want him to do what is best for him and makes him happy. Chapter 2 of Emergence should be great with a 30 Minute Iron Match for the KO title and Eddie Edwards defending his title against a mystery opponent. It might be Eric Young but I feel they are holding off on that match for now. Maybe someone not on the roster right now.

Emergence was like Kill Bill in so much as I preferred Chapter One over Two. Yet both were entertaining. Tonight's highlight, outside the consistently fun and entertaining Wrestle House, was the main event. 30 minute Ironman match for KO title. The two of them went at it with hard hitting and submissive wrestling. The Eric Young promo for Bound For Glory was well done and got my attention. Next week's Eddie Edwards vs Eric Young title match should be insane. Also looking forward to Rhino teaming up with Heath against Reno Scum. #Heath4Impact

I have not watched this weeks show yet but I see they did a bit where Heath was dressed as a cameraman and attacked Reno Scum during their match. Based on this and what Mox did in AEW with changing the contract it seems their creative has been reading my COTG feds  |
