I have learned the weekly show also airs on TWITCH the same time as TV.

That is pretty smart of IMPACT to give people more ways to watch.

It's a smart decision since a lot of people don't get AXS, myself included.

yeah and brian cages wife hosts the twitch show and thats better then the axes shows ads.

here we go

starts with ec3

watching on twitch instead of axs, over 7k people watching so far

poor heath can't use his last name

Let Heath in the building, he has kids to feed...

i am glad they did not give him a last name.

Madison Reyn really annoying voice

The Josh/Madison commentary team could keep me from tuning in weekly tbh

RVD looks out of it

Eric Young vs Eddie Edwards

No Thanks

​​​​​​​Likely my first and last week watching Impact

ECIII attacks Moose, he wants the TNA Title bc he didn't sacrifice for THIS BUSINESS to see it end up like this

Ok, Wrestle House was 100% the best part of the show

Alright tag match time

Good main-event tag match

Positives - MCMG vs The North was really good, Wrestle House

Negatives - Josh Matthews and Madison Rayne are horrible on commentary, Eddie Edwards has no personality

Did a good job trending

https://i.postimg.cc/90CwrZxv/Screen...9-23-32-PM.png

So right at the 90 day no compete window they've signed:

-Karl Anderson
-Luke Gallows
-Heath Slater
-Eric Young
-EC3
-Curt Hawkins

Still got a feeling Cody will get Ryder.

i am surprised they got as many as they did, wonder what they will do with curtguess he will go for the x belt.

yeah her voice sucks but if you get past that what she says is good heel color.

I don't care about any of those signings except Heath Slater. I'm really surprised the WWE did not re-sign him. He should have been in a tournament for the vacated North American Title. Instant ratings success for NXT.

According to Pro Wrestling Torch, this week's episode of Impact did around 163k viewers based on some ratings numbers he managed to grab for AXS TV.

Nice!

so is silk here tonight or did josh and madison chase him off

wrestle house is great dreamer got the house before the ecw check bounced.

I have it on mute but un-muted for Wrestle House segments, very entertaining stuff

Crazy Steve is my favorite so far

Steve vs Acey for rights to sleep in the ring with Kylie Ray as special ref...hey why not I guess...

I'm honestly just waiting for some Good Brother action and that's it.

let's see how heath gets screwed tonight.

Been watching but just to busy to really get on here and talk about it to no one.

Several of GCW's regulars showed up at Impact's tapings earlier today.

From left to right, Benjamin Carter, Tre Lamar, and Lee Moriarty.

GCW wrestlers getting some quality exposure from the bigger promotions recently. NJPW had Blake Christian and Alex Zayne appear on last week's NJPW Strong show.

rebuilding the x div

this is a pretty good ep, new x champ, an ec3 steals tna belt from moose.

the mics did not work for madison and josh 1st match tonight it was great

mics still out matches with out anoucers,

I did chuckle at Kylie finally getting "mad" lol.


Good Brothers better get the straps at BFG.

after tonights impact they will have talking shop on axis it should be a hoot.

wow there womens champ since july gets her contract today 4 months after winning it. impact is lucky she did not leave.

damn ken shamrock got a vid from the hitman heart as well is getting one from the rock.

matt striker is back with don calling matches on pre show

Apparently Kylie Rae got yanked from Bound For Gory.

Either she recently tested positive for the coronavrus since she worked at GCW's The Collective shows that quickly became a hotbed for the coronavirus or Impact simply decided to just do a bait-and-switch for the Knockout title tonight.

Shame either way since her vs. Deonna Purrazzo was the match I was interested the most for Bound for Glory and why I decided to watch it tonight.

According to the Observer, Kylie Rae got quietly pulled due to an unknown injury.

yeah i wanted a su yung slow build or she should have changed mid match. i could see it being coronayrus

If this was old tna

https://i.imgur.com/a0kk7.gif

it is still unknown what happened to kylie, this is looking like what happend to kylie at aew.

so will the kenny segment be last again? will tony buy another nwo type ad? will josh leave with madson or will he work with striker

I'll watch whatever happens that might be interesting on twitter. I can't subject myself to any more hours of Impact.

no madison at the year end thing guess tv time is up. wonder what full time job she got what was she in school for?

Let me guess, Kenny showed up and cut the same promo he has been for a month....

Did I get it right?

so josh was moved up and matt striker and dlo brown will be com that will improve the show. josh can be a good heel going against aew have him do somthing tony

to add to striker sounds like they added crowd noise, took them 6 months

moose is such good tv let him go for swans belt

matt hardy and priv party in the impact zone

So it was Taya....wow.

tayas goodbye from impact going to jail, ether going to jacksonville or stanford if unlucky.

Some of the tongue in cheek stuff if good, other stuff is...meh.

For anyone interested coming in late...

paid zach rider not to wrestler wow good one ace.

Hardy's theme not PP's....hmmmm.

TK AND LYNN RINGSIDE!!

OMG IT HAPPENED!!!

lynn heeling it up, i think i will like this set of tapings by impact.

this is a pretty good show tonight the fake fan noise helps

well one of the rascals stayed in impact. to bad tray was not signed to a bigger company.

Cardona looked pretty damn good.

i love fire and flav there mouths never shut

Based on that clip after last week's show went off the air, Ken Shamrock needs to visit Dr. Shelby to sort out his anger issues.

what are they going to do with crazy ken, he is an old guy who might have a story.

Catering backstage must be lacking tonight if Crazzy Steve is having to resort to trying to eat Larry D during this match.

odb in the house

Sleazeball "Big Money Matt" is probably Matt Hardy's best gimmick or persona since he left Impact several years ago.

"Broken" Hardy never worked that well in WWE while the lack of crowds killed a lot of potential it could have had in AEW plus the bad luck he had with injuries.

wonder how they do food now do they do cookouts in the parking lot at tapings. now odb is there they have a food truck

:lol: at Tony Schiavone's look during this AEW paid ad segment.

:lol: at Tony Khan saying his time on Impact has started to make him feel a bit crazy and now making decisions he'd never consider doing before like being nice to NJPW.

Probably a mix of takeout catering like before and ODB making meals for those who want something different.

ODB mentioned recently about AEW letting her have her food truck at AEW shows to help her earn some extra cash on the side.

last weeks team taz beatdown would have been cooler at odbs food truck, that would be funny if she got involved.

:lol: at this Fish Market Street Fight classic highlight video.

Moose & Bey vs. Dreamer & Swann was pretty good despite the weak finish.

That finish sort of made Dreamer look like a moron for costing his team the match.

Impact's show this week was fine. Nothing really special and somewhat skippable but enjoyable still.

wonder if they got rid of melisa santos this is the 3rd week of no pre show

Think her contract expired around the same time as a few others in the company like Ethan Page.

wow the new aew ad

figured they would keep her, with the aew new japan impact work togather.

Missed the first half of tonight's show but Hogan vs. Neveah was decent despite that weak DQ ending.

:lol: at the start of this Happy Birthday video for Tommy Dreamer.

decays new abyss the bull from aaa

Black Taurus joining Decay is pretty cool.

Seen him a few times in the indies & AAA and he was very entertaining in the ring.

Tag title match was pretty good despite the lame DQ finish.

Impact creative was a bit lazy tonight when it came to Men's & Knockouts tag title related stuff tonight since both had matches end via DQ.

i saw it a 3 way tag match

TK is getting really good at this.

And I hope to god this continues. Just let Taurus murder everyone.

Ouch at Trey Miguel's nuts during this Triple Threat Revolver match at Impact's No Surrender show right now.

Josh Alexander fell really hard on Trey's groin area when he pulled off that suplex and hugging back drop looking combo to Trey and Chris Bey.

Good Brothers retained the Impact Tag titles over Private Party and James Storm & Chris Sabin at No Surrender.

Match itself was very good and Good Bros retaining via a Dusty-like finish made sense based on how the booking for this title feud and match went down. Also for why Storm & Sabin were needed since AEW didn't want Private Party to suffer a clean loss this soon nor Impact wanting Good Bros to suffer a clean loss and/or lose their tag belts this early into the AEW-Impact storyline stuff.

Dreamer vs. Swann was like a slightly better version of Undertaker vs. Reigns at Mania 33. Similar issues in terms of match quality and length but Dreamer not being as sluggish or sloppy as Taker was in his match.

Moose wrecking both guys after the match was the real highlight of that whole match.

The Triple Threat Revolver match and Impact Tag Title matches would probably be the only stuff I'd really recommend from this show. Rest of it was okay to mostly entertaining but overall felt more like an episode of Impact.

Hell the fuck YES!!

good to see they have a new pre-show
