The most recent impact saw a rating increase of 19.7% from the week before. Cool to hear.

All caught up and I have to say this weeks show was by far one of the best top to bottom. Swann vs Fenix was great and I would really like to see them do it again, but they set the bar really high. If there is a next time I'm not sure it would be as good. Hope they can keep Killer Kross a heel. LAX or I should say the original LAX stole the show.

bodyslam, if you can find it, watch Tessa vs Mercedes Martinez from Rise of the KOs this past Saturday

I thought the new LAX did great as well. Santana huddling over his stablemates gardened them a nice touch of sympathy.

This week was a great show. Their back stage stuff is awesome. They need jobber KOs. I was getting in to Schotzi after the interview. Then I saw she was wrestling Ally and Its like you already know where this is going. The Su Madison segment was pretty good. The only thing I would have done different is at the end when Madison kind of snapped out of it and was all of a sudden alone in the woods. I would have put her alone back stage. Then end it the same way with Su. Sammy OVE vs Fenix, Pentagon, and Swann was off the hook good.

Amber Nova was a good jobber KO...don't know why they released her. Maybe they'll get jobbers from RISE.


The 6 man main event was crazy good. I loved it.

Slammiversary actually looks really good

Areis vs Moose World title
Su Young vs Madison KO title
LAX vs original LAX 5150 street fight
Sydal vs Cage X Division title
Pentagon vs Callihan mask vs hair
Ally vs Tessa
Eddie Edwards vs Tommy Dreamer hardcore match
Fenix vs Swann vs Taiji Ishimori vs Johnny Impact

They hyped Ishimori as the Bone Soldier. Now I'm curious if they recognize him as Bullet Club.

Such a weak finish to the build to the LAX/OG match. I hope this feud last more than 1 match.

I ordered Slammiversary. I want Impact to succeed. Can't wait to see Sami vs Penta...and Allie vs Tessa.

Go Tessa!

Slammiversary was $40 well spent for me. The matches were really good. Eddie vs Dreamer got bloody and fun. Sami vs Penta was top notch.

Cage vs Sydal was amazing, even with the Sydal botch. Happy to have Cage as the new X champ. He's so freaking Agile.

Good show

So I was checking Impact out recently for the Allie v Su Yung angle, because I absolutely love shit like that. I haven't watched much since, is the rest of the product any good these days? I have a lot of time to fill in my now that I'm not watching WWE anymore and Impact is easy access.

The mask vs hair match was insane! I'm ready for a Sami title reign but he needs a good babyface to take the title off of.

Consider it done, I've basically heard nothing but good things about it and you've always been pretty spot on about Impact. I think I'll give them another shake.

Ninja edit: Gotta stop calling them TNA. 

This week's show was the first time I noticed a Impact Wrestling chant. Seems like they are starting to get some distance from TNA.

Tell me I'm pretty!!!

As I was watching the PPV, I thought to myself man I wasn't expecting the show to be this good. There was a different energy, an energy that was reminiscent of TNA in 2005-2010. Who knows if this momentum or anything close to it is sustainable but considering where they've been with the Hogan/Bischoff era and the GFW silliness I find it remarkable they were able to create a night like that.

I knew they could do it. I never lost faith...

Well I finally got around to sitting down and watching the whole show, and I gotta say, that was really good.

The opening match was perfect, what a banger that was. All four guys put on one hell of a show and really got me into it early. The Pentagon v Callahan match was fucking brutal and I loved every second of it. LAX v. OGz was some great storytelling. All I knew about the storyline was what they showed in the package and that's all I needed. I'm in. Also what a brutal finish. I'm not quitee sold on Moose, something is just a little off, but I did enjoy that match quite a bit and wouldn't mind that feud continuing.

Overall really well paced, good matches, clear stories, tons of fun. 4 star ppv!

Hate to say it but this weeks show was a step backward for me. The main event was great. Everything else was kind of blah.

Well the new Tapings will air soon. I enjoyed this week though

I thought the show was good enough. Sometimes a meh show is better than a bad show. Not every show can be epic or even solid but along as it maintains course that's all is needed.

I’m flying out of Nashville right now and Jeff Jarrett is on my plane and I’m fucking thrilled!

As one of the few Jeff Jarrett fans on here, that's pretty cool, KJ.

That is so cool, KJ

I normally only watch the Knockouts but hung around for the LAX street fight this week because of the hype and I was suitably entertained.

Hopefully all the awesome production they've been doing lately isn't lost with Paredyse going to WWE. 

Good show this week. Don't like the ramp.

I really enjoy Fallah and KM.

The end of the Smoke Show was great.

is it really a feud if OVE never wins a match? also, I know this is nitpicking but it's just an observation. Why don't they just refer to all 3 guys as OVE and not OVE & Sami Callahan? Killer Cross joining Aries feels like a ruse with Aries getting beat up bad.

Sometimes they do refer them as just oVe

I think the backstage stuff with Sami and OVE is great. Its one of the things I look forward to each week.

The Mexican death match was a lot of fun. Reminded me of Attitude era WWE
