Tenese Sarwieh

This week episode was a good edition with one of LA Park's better brawls with Havoc. He wasn't just going through the motions and just relying on his charisma. Kind of bummed by no Contra appearance because I'm all in on Jacob Fatu. I wish it was him instead of Hammerstone in N1 Victory because he stinks.

Just wait til NXT moves to USA.

Heyman done snuck in the G1 tag format tonight.

I don't think so. He was in a good place feuding with Regal until his "bad habits" caught up with him. I believe after the Regal stuff he would've been slotted in the NXT title scene.

I actually forgot he was in NXT until you mentioned it. He was dead as a fish out of water with that hacker gimmick. Other companies has used him perfectly showing off all if his strengths, he's the most important performer in Impact right now.

Since leaving WWE Jon Moxley has been doing the best work of his career in AEW and New Japan. He feels rejuvenated and feels like a weight is off his shoulders. Wondering is there any other situations like this? The one that comes to mind for me is Vader after his disastrous run in WWF then killing it in All Japan.

Hart = Flair Kawada > Okada Misawa = Kobashi Danielson > Tsuruta Tanahashi > Taue

The most I remember as a child is dearing 90-94 watching WCW and WWF heavily then stumbling upon ECW and Lucha (mostly AAA) around 95-97.

Seth is such a dweeb.

What an odd cut to Hart/Hogan.

A fun tag match where everyone got a chance to shine with cool spots. All the interactions meshed well and having wanting to see what Bryan and Otis can do in a singles contest.

A fun tag match with KENTA and Kobashi trying their best to chop and kick the soul out of Marufuji.

I'm not to big on inter gender matches but since I watch Impact on the regular I kept up with the build for this. While it was good I still had concerns about how things would play out and they surprised me. This is the perfect way to do these types of matches and they had the perfect performers in these roles. Tessa was the sympathetic babyface everyone wanted to beat the asshole heel in Sami. Just the simple story of her giving all she had but coming up short in the end was brilliantly done. And the aftermath of Sami handing her the bat giving her a endorsement made her come off like the biggest star in the company. Damn good match.

Two big dudes throwing bombs and doing high spots, what's not to love? This easily the best Brian Cage has looked since moving in the main event scene and once again Michael Elgin delivers in big matches during his Impact tenure. This two went all out and didn't let up one one bit with crazy pacing. I was already digging this match but when Elgin countered the drill claw with a canadian destroyer I popped out my chair and the finish left both guys looking good, loved every minute.

A tremendous sprint of excellent striking, submissions and logic. You could totally see this being in a G1 and one of the top WWE matches of the year for me.
