I'm never going to be dumb enough to say Impact is going to die because it's obviously IMMORTAL, brother. But I do feel like we will get the Team Challenge Series filmed in empty arenas/in front of green screens by the end of the year.

Yeah the rumors I read were that Abyss and Sonjay both would be just agents, but there's probably a little money in a couple one-off Abyss appearances as one of the only TNA guys that never appeared in WWE. Also an insider was telling me that Eli Drake was going to be signed around spring of last year so that's not shocking.

This wrestling company barely exists and is on its last legs, yet it was somehow going to be able to sign Kenny Omega and Chris Jericho according to WO? Don't buy it at all, even with the Callis/Jericho friendship and creative control poo poo. Someone as image conscious as Jericho would only hurt his image appearing on the low rent wrestling show that comes on after airsoft gun competitions. quote:Callis was very close to deals with both Kenny Omega and Chris Jericho before AEW came in. The expectation before AEW is that Omega would work for New Japan and do 30 dates per year here, and Jericho would work here because he’s have so much input on his creative if he wanted to work another year with New Japan. Obviously if Jericho had decided to end New Japan, he’d have gone to WWE, and that would have negated working here Also, I'm glad to see that Kahn is at least as smart as Toby Keith in that he knew buying Impact was an incredibly dumb idea: quote:By the time the first story broke about Bloom, Jim Ross and Jericho starting a promotion with Khan, none of that was accurate other than Khan still had interest, but only if the right talent was available, with the key being the Young Bucks not signing with WWE. Jericho had pitched the idea of Khan buying Impact rather than starting up a new promotion, but Khan wasn’t interested. Tato fucked around with this message at 15:11 on Jan 24, 2019 |

It was nice of Jericho to try and make the sale happen, but yeah unless a billionaire is funding IMPACT Jericho will never work there (besides maybe a one-off)

This is the same match/show that was airing this time last week. I'm counting that as a bad sign. Maybe unfair but Josh Matthews last week pushed momentum.

Yeah, the Sami/Swann story is alright. I guess ultimately I'm not a Sami fan but he's an effective heel foil when you have other players involved. I kind of hope Kiera and Jodynne take Rosemary's spooky advice to leave the feud and move onto something else because it would be kind of cool if Impact had like 4 active storylines going in the women's division. I think I count 3 right now depending on where Taya goes as champ.

Its still bad but at least this guy seems to know what he's doing with Twitch and conversation with two people is marginally more interesting than Josh Matthews dicking around his house. Which ironically Callis just made fun of. edit: That seems like impractical workout gear, Scarlett.

That was an ok show but the magic of that first episode is clearly dead. Callis is now streaming with Scarlett Bordeaux and the other guy rage quit for some reason. I don't understand Twitch or social media. I'm old.

That split-legged second rope spear was something I've never seen before, wtf. This was a good wrestling show imho, opener was fantastic and so was Taya vs Keyra. All of the Rascalz got a chance to shine. Main event feud isn't groundbreaking by any means but I'm ok with all of the involved parties beating the poo poo out of each other. STAC Goat posted:Callis is now streaming with Scarlett Bordeaux and the other guy rage quit for some reason. I don't understand Twitch or social media. I'm old. So last week was terrible with Josh slumped over on his couch. If they're leaning into this whole "let's watch Impact together and interact with us" deal (which it seems they are) - even though that's not my thing - I can dig that. Especially if they do switch the host for Melissa Santos. J-Ro fucked around with this message at 06:10 on Jan 26, 2019 |

Yeah, the show was probably better than "ok". I think I'm just bummed about the streaming commercials thing. Rascalz were all good, Swann/Vikingo was good, and I kind of like the Moose/Kross thing even though I liked them more when they were Austin Aries' flunkies than their own men. But I've always been a sucker for twin tower shitkickers. And Impact's a good champ since he can wrestle a bunch of different heels with different styles. Doing these multiple rivals targeting him thing is a solid angle for awhile. And I really like the women's division. But god do I hate listening to people sitting alone on their laptops yelling and what that forces me to confront about myself. edit: Jack Evans vs Hector Garza. This is the sort of thing I would have liked during commercials. STAC Goat fucked around with this message at 06:16 on Jan 26, 2019 |

I said it late last year but between now and March is really key. The company simply isn't bringing in money.

Yesterday's stream was the first 2019 Impact to fail to break 7000 peak viewers, peaking at 6397. This is down 2335 (or 26.7%) from last week, and down 1469 from the previous low two weeks ago.

No one was watching it on my timeline and a lot of IMPACT wrestlers were out and about working on indie shows last night. Fully believe those figures.
