I love Rhino but there's not much for him to do in I.W. anymore. I'm hoping Daniels & Storm join Kaz & the MCMG. Sadly, I THINK 

SPOILER: Click to show

{Spoiler}
Aces & Eights will be their partners. D-Lo's REVENGE!

EY has not been seen since Slammiverary. Could this lead to the return of good guy EY from Impact past or a more violent EY? I think the C4 spike on the exposed wood of the ring will lead to the return of.....................





but he'll also be VBD EY. Denying that he's Super Eric and has no clue as to whats going on.


but I still want a VBD EY feud with Sami.  So I'll take what I can get.  

This has potential to be a awesome match. Too bad there was no build up and maybe 24 hours notice for it. Overall Against All Odds card looks really good for a plus ppv.



Josh Alexander(c) vs Joe Doering – IMPACT World Championship match

Jordynne Grace(c) vs Tasha Steelz – IMPACT Knockouts Championship match

Moose vs Sami Callihan- Raven's Clockwork Orange House of Fun match
 
The Motor City Machine Gun(Alex Shelley & Chris Sabin) vs Ace Austin & Chris Bey

Honor No More(Mike Bennett, Eddie Edwards, Vincent, Matt Taven & Kenny King) vs James Storm, The Good Brother (Karl Anderson & Doc Gallows), Chris Harris & Heath 

Deonna Purrazzo & Chelsea Green vs Mia Yim & Mickie James – Tag Team Match

Mike Bailey(c) vs Trey Miguel – IMPACT X-Division Championship match

Rosemary & Taya Valkyrie(c) vs Tennile Dashwood & Giselle Shaw – IMPACT Knockouts Tag Team Championship match

Rich Swann(c) vs Brian Myers – IMPACT Digital Media Championship dot combat match

Laredo Kid vs Black Taurus

Machine Guns vs. Ace/Bey and Bailey/Miguel should be fun matches.

Tonight feels like the last stand for Honor No More.

I got a feeling (woo-hoo) they may start building for Josh vs Eddie at BFG. Keeping HNM around a little longer. Honestly I would not mind Taven and Bennett beating the Good Bros for a tag title run.

Against All odds delivered. More so that Slammiversary in my opinion. Trey and Speedball have to be in the match of the year conversation. I don't agree with MCMG getting the win unless they are going to get a title push. Otherwise, the match should have at least gone to a 15 minute draw. Josh and Doering should have been the Slammiversiary main event. I could not really see the crowd, but they sounded great. Hopefully they sound good for the tv tapings as well. Other than PCO nearly killing himself the night was great.

I would be invested in a Josh vs Eddie match if Eddie wasn't so bad at being a heel. He looks so uncomfortable.

These two tore it up

Impact x MLW crossover I'm curious if this was Davey Richards at Slammiversary or is there more to come. I know Taya is doing both.

Fatu vs Alexender, please.

or Gino in some x-division matches

Was wondering how to watch impact in Australia, turns out you can just watch it on YouTube for $2 a month. Sure.. why not. So just tuned it on to watch the premiere on YT.

Last PPV I watched was the one Jay white showed up in, but before that I haven’t watched regular since the Hogan days.

So here a my ramblings nobody asked for:
(edit: ok judging by bodyslam ‘s post this hasn’t aired elsewhere yet so spoiler tags. My bad)

Shoes should be a permanent rule in wrestling, Bailey acted like he was shocked he won the title..not retaining it. I know it was his debut but still..you’re the champion, why are you so shocked you won a match?

Too stable promos back to back that seemed incredibly similar so a bit confusing

“Women working together” as soon she said that it was obvious it was going to cause tension.

Second match was enjoyable


Ric Flair is here? Oh this is a clip from years ago…

Crazy how bad people though WWE would bury AJ compared to where he is now

Cowboy hat guy and his friend are furious?
Guessing this is to make Eric Young happy?

I’ve always wanted to stay in of those “dirty” hotels you always see in American movies.

James Storm! Coolest guy. Surprised his drink choice was Corona with lime though.

Knock Knock who’s there?

Chris “Braden walker” Harris! Now things have picked up.

Holy shit his promo skills are terrible, you’d think you’d learn after being ridiculed for it since the WWEECW days.

James Storm has a match with that guy I’m presuming, cool.

PCO’s sub zero look is cool, impressive he is still wrestling. Was Vincent in ROH?

Black Taurus is pronounced differently as if how it’s spelt, one of my biggest pet hates in wrestling as wrestlers are never consistent with how they want it announced.

At least everyone in this match has a more unique look than most of the people featured so far. Good covering for the botch. Dive spot was impressive

FUCK THAT SHIT, that flip to the apron was amazing. Glad they use the rope break rather than kicking out of that. Moonsault looked like it could have ended badly. Best match so far

Ok the faction is called honour no more, weird they would do such a similar storyline in the opening segment.

HE NEEDS TO STAY SIGNED TO IMPACT
HE’S GOT KIDS

Ok at least they are booking to assist the amount of factions they seemingly have with bullet club also making an appearance

Everyone in impact is so confrontational, I know it’s wrestling but every segment except for the women’s part everyone is super hostile to another :lol:

I’m sure as shit not typing swinger’s dungeon into Google in public..

Is that a Polynesian style tattoo the Indian guy has? Solid match up. Going to a country in Asia somewhat near India gave me a better understanding of how much influence India has on the world.

Emma! Australian accents sound so weird when interacting with American accents on TV.

I know a wrestler named James Mitchell, he doesn’t wrestle as that for obvious reasons.
Why is she looking into the camera? Isn’t this a private conversation? Wrestling backstage logic is so all over the place

Wonder if Marcus film is any good. All movies starring wrestlers are good…

I emailed bad luck fale’s school LAST YEAR about training during my long service leave. I’m on my leave and they still haven’t replied.
I wasn’t super set on it hence not following up again :lol:

Yim’s armdrag was cool. OUCH, that snap Deonna did looked brutal

Aiden English is a great choice for commentary.

Cannonball has to be in the top 5 most overused moves in wrestling, always an issue on shows when new wants to use it.

Amazing Piledriver looked like it could have legit paralysed her, 2 count. 🥴

Great match

Show definitely improved in the second half, i don’t know if was just a bad episode to jump in but the start with all the differing factions bickering and wanting seemingly the same result ( a member to prove themselves) was an odd choice.

Card for next week looks stacked so hopefully an improvement there.

Fatu vs Alexender, please.

ask and you shall receive 

I hope this leads to a heel Shelley

Deaner vs Speedball was actually very good. The problem is Deaner is Deaner and no matter how Impact repackages him he's still going to be Deaner.

Finally finished and a little let down by the main event. It was good but I guess I was expecting more after Deaner vs Speedball and OGK vs Ace and Bey. Which were two really good matches. 

The Emergence card is so far looking really good.

World Title
Alexander vs Shelley

KO Title
Jordynne vs Mia Yim

KO Tag Titles
Taya and Rosemary vs Deonna and Chelsea

Bandido vs Rey Horus

Maclin vs Sami

5 on 5 (If Honor No More wins, they will receive a IMPACT World Tag Team Title shot. If they lose, they must disband)
Bullet Club vs HNM

Doering and Deaner vs Sabin and KUSHIDA

and more

A timely post. I like seeing Alex Shelley in the main event.

last night's show was not that good. Hopefully it was just the last night of tapings and Emergence does not fallow suite.

Forgot the TNA PPV was tonight. Why no reminder bodyslam?

Initial reaction: the production sucks. Arena is awfully dark and the main camera focuses on the entrance ramp where no fans can be seen. Been watching a fair amount of mid 2000s TNA. The production was much better 17 years ago.

Saw the finish of the women's match. Grace vs. Kim, I think? In that time there were two finisher kickouts and a flurry of weak kicks that wouldn't break an egg. This might have been a bad idea...

Now some metal chick named Sasha comes out. Crowd chants "Sasha's gonna kill you" despite the fact that Grace looks like she could break her in half without much trouble.

Hard to believe this is Shelley's first Impact title shot. I hope he wins.

I take it this Josh Alexander chap is doing an amateur wrestler gimmick?

Oh. Alexander wrestles with the headgear on. That's interesting. He actually has a pretty good look minus the bad tattoos.

Match is off to a good start. Commentary is also doing a good job of putting these guys over to a noob.

If they keep up this slow paced "work the arm" match this will be my favorite match of 2022 out of the 20 or so I've seen.

Announcers talking about Shelley's knowledge of orthopedics helping his submission game is some Grade A kayfabe b.s. Love it.

Alexander actually sold the arm! MOTY?

Alexander took that swinging DDT like a champ. Now it's Alexander with the Ankle Lock. Kurt Angle was definitely his favorite wrestler growing up.

Alexander no selling Sliced Bread was dumb. And why doesn't his arm hurt anymore?

My brother and I used to play this name game that went something like this...

Steve Carlton Fisk
Whitey Ford Frick
Tammy Bruce Smith Hart Lee Dykes

Josh Alexander Shelley Fabares?
