Good morning, good afternoon, good evening....whenever it is you have found this entry. I am back after a break to deal with some health issue, both myself and my wife, to resume watching wrestling! Today, 2021-04-30, I am checking out last nights Impact show. We are fresh off their recent PPV and their relationship with AEW is going strong. I think we should see what will happen now!
- I miss hearing Striker every week on WWE because he sounds real and has so much passion
- No rematch clause? That makes no sense, why would Swann agree to that?
- I like this Jake Something the few times I have seen him
- Bey is very good but just not my style match
- Oh great we will get constant updates on Omega....blarg
- A lot of camera cuts here, did they go to the Kevin Dunn school of directing?
- Nice spin kick by Bey
- If Something got into a real developmental type environment, old OVW or NXT, he would be a star!
- Seriously? Jake is not in the number one contenders match yet? He should be!
- I always liked the around the corner shot that Impact does like they are spying on the guys
- Is it that exciting that Taylor is back? Do many people remember her?
- Big Cass shows up and looks like a star for sure!
- Oh yeah now I remember why Big Cass did not do a lot of talking back in WWE
- I am surprised that they did not rename Cass Adam or Copeland since he looks so much like Edge IMO
- The Knockouts cannot really talk, at least from what I am seeing thus far
- The Curator?
- I like Willie Mack in the ring but he is not great on the mic
- Is Taylor suppose to be a version of Lacey Evans? I honestly do not really remember Taylor much
- Was she making Taylor smell her shoe?
- Those kicks were in slow motion
- Wait...did she miss without Taylor moving?
- Oh I guess Taylor got the knees up but really Kimber just overshot
- I think that is Triple H's WCW finish
- Dear lord how big is Moose's head?
- This sounds weird, but I feel like Josh is almost too deliberate. I do not mean start doing more moves but have a sense of urgency in the attack. He is not a monster that should be deliberate. If he was in a freestyle wrestling match he would not be this deliberate and he should wrestle like that
- So many head palm whips now that Cornette has pointed it out
- Are there any male wrestlers without tat sleeves anymore?
- That series was way too choreographed for my taste with all the handstands and what not
- What was that weird implant DDT move?
- Josh wisely grabbing his knee to sell that Ace missed the senton
- More Callis really?
- Wow these Knockout segments are painful, Bella Twin painful
- These two are feuding but are they still doing their figure podcast?
- Always ready? Out Work everyone else? AEW and Impact must use the same tag line team
- So I see Bey and Something in the six way but either of these guys? I am sorry but neither of these guys should be competing for a World Title till they have rehabbed that WWE undercard stink off them
- And that is not meant that they do not deserve to be near or at the top but optics are what optics are!
- Does Impact use a smaller ring than the other companies? It seems very small but it could be the angle they use
- When El Phantasmo is in the Bullet Club you know they have jumped the shark, like Stevie Ray in the nWo
- Seriously comparing these two to Joker and Batman is horrible D-Lo!
- I do not get Sami Callihan, I do not. He is one of those guys that seems to always be around and I do not get why. He seems sloppy in the ring
- 30 seconds in and Omega is already shaking the ropes!
- Is anyone excited about a Kenny Omega & Sami Callihan match?
- Those were some weakass shots by Omega to Finlay
A good solid show. Nothing came off as groundbreaking. You have the Omega stuff which I do not like because I think he is the most overhyped wrestler in the last twenty years but some people love him I guess. The ratings do not show it people say it! Overall solid show but there really is not anything I would say must see! They kept the silliness to a minimum which is good! As would have liked to have one less Don Callis segment but they told a story throughout so I am okay with it. Solid wrestling and that is something that some shows, AEW I am looking at you, needs!
