All the big matches delivered a suitably big match feel. Love that about Impact, really strong builds. Cage's win felt earned, LAX/Lucha Bros felt like a real blowoff to an epic rivalry. Tessa has been so great, I'm interested to see her in a face role. Agreed that Swann/Callihan is something to really put Swann up another level, he's improved dramatically here compared to a lackluster WWE run. Looking forward to where everything goes from here.

I thought Aleister's little promo last night on SDL was really good, I'm down for more of that for when he does speak. I highly enjoyed Ricochet and Black as a team, thought they worked well together so it seemed soon to split them up already.
-
Yeah turning Owens back to the same old tired character he's been for the past 4 years sucks when at least a face run could've seemed somewhat refreshing. I agree that a Shane title run would be preferable, he's been highly entertaining in this heel run thus far.
-
I recall Peyton looking great in a couple four way/three ways and then a title match with Asuka a couple years ago. Have never seen anything good out of Leva and disappointed AEW wouldn't go more original for a librarian rather than someone who always does dress up gimmicks.
-
My thought as well when I hear people suggest a lot of things that Impact does.. excellent use of backstage segments to further stories for those who aren't wrestling that week, vignettes for debuting wrestlers, more interviews, etc. Impact has been on fire in that regard the last few years.
-
Co-signed. Loved a lot of the PPV themes of that era.
-
It's been said before but Peyton had some good singles matches in NXT and Billie Kay had some really great matches in Shimmer and the indys against Madison Eagles and Nicole Matthews among others. so I can't see them as being bad in the ring, I can see people not liking their characters but I personally find their mic work hilarious and one of the more entertaining things on the show.

Agreed 100% on the topic of Drew & Lashley in Impact. Loved their feud in 2016 and both were booked perfectly there. That whole year is one of Impact's best periods and it felt like everybody was being groomed for WWE runs/returns (Drew, Lashley, Hardyz, EC3, Mike Bennett, etc.) but not one of them have been presented as well as they were there. Lashley still talks about wanting the Brock match, but feels like the time has passed unfortunately, felt like a money match at one point for sure.
-
I think Madison wanted to do it as them 3 together while ROH was down with it but wanted them to turn on Madison and feud with her instead, possibly replacing her with Mandy Leon in the actual group which Madison didn't care for.
-
Legit LOL at the thought of that story. And yeah just for clairifaction Sonya Deville is dating a different girl now, not the one that was with Seth anymore. Her new GF was at the HOF with her and they will be featured on the next season of Total Divas.
-
extremely. I've hated becky's booking all year. Tapping at the Rumble then Ronda having to save her at Fastlane and hand her the WM spot to the fluke looking rollup win at Mania.
-
Agreed Lita's was one of my favorite ever HOF speeches, great stories and Torrie was right up there with her. Love all the shouts and the emotions of them when they show in crowd.
-
Agree that this was one of the best overall, loved it. Torrie's speech was really great, everyone did real good and nobody got rushed.
-
they ran Usos vs The Bar vs Rusev & Nakamura at the house show last night so I'm guessing that might end up the WM match. Seems very random rather than the first time dream match that Usos/Hardyz would've been.
-
They announced 29 entrants for the Andre: Braun Strowman, Colin Jost, Michael Che, Andrade, Apollo Crews, Titus O'Neil, Tyler Breeze, Jinder Mahal, No Way Jose, Bobby Roode, Chad Gable, Lucha House Party, Bo Dallas, Curtis Axel, Heath Slater, Rhyno, the Ascension, Ali, Shelton Benjamin, Luke Gallows, Karl Anderson, The Hardyz, Heavy Machinery, and EC3. So as of now not on the card that leaves: The Usos, The Revival, Black & Ricochet, The Bar, Rusev & Nakamura, Big E & Xavier. Disappointed they didn't go with Usos vs. Hardyz. also Kevin Owens not on the card as of now.

WWE TV 03/25 - 03/31: Angle vs. Joe! Angle vs. Styles! TNA! TNA! TNA!

Awful. Can't take Becky seriously as the supposed biggest threat to undefeated Ronda Rousey. Wish it was Asuka vs Ronda. -
Really liked the build to 26. Taker/Shawn perfection and Bret/Vince, while the match was what it was, the build was a ton of fun. Two of my all time favorite video packages
-
Yes! I was hyped when Jinder delivered the "BEASTMASTER" promo leading in before it got changed. Loved that it at least got brought up again in the lead up to this past year's.

they announced Angle/Rey for next week. The last stop on the farewell before WM. I was hoping for Angle vs Bryan, but Angle/Lashley would've been a cool callback to his last Impact match. -
7 hours, 17 matches, they will absolutely still find a way to give some matches the shaft on time. That's what holds back my excitement for it. That and I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up on the 'preshow' portion. Hopefully they do go 10-15 though.
