Pretty obviously happening at BFG

Chris James 2 posted:

I agreed earlier on this page with someone that she was either taking it off Cage at BFG or taking it off Sami at BFG; if she lost, it was only so she could beat Sami for it at BFG instead of Cage

It's probably their biggest show of the year, even moreso than Slammiversary. I definitely would have preferred getting it out of the way, and obviously normally I wouldn't want Sami being even a transitional champ, but there is a decent story there of how at Slammiversary she lost clean (and got his respect and the crowd applauding at the end), on a random Impact she improved, came closer and only lost due to interference, and he's getting cocky/careless by coming back each time she wants a fight to prove she can win; eventually she will

I know there were a couple more but TL;DR I was an idiot for being optimistic and giving them farrrr too much credit that I thought they actually 1) were going to see what they had in Tessa and 2) were going to capitalize on it in any major way soon after seeing it. idk what came over me. i'm sorry

It's hard to fault a decision where you can do your indie thing as well as have a ""consistent"" "paycheck" and be on "tv". But the prospect of signing to Impact when they're at that confident phase of having a new channel, before it all comes crashing down again, that's, uh, sure. At least it wasn't AEW.

I love Matt Taven
BFG was a good show! Well, not that surprising since Impact has been delivering decent/good/great PPV's since the start of the Callis/D'Amore era.

Battle Royal: N/A (Missed most of this due to NO SIGNAL FROM VENUE. Eddie "Eddie Edwards" Edwards winning was a good choice)
Valkyrie/Dashwood: eh/5 (It was solid, I guess? Johnny Bravo has excelled as a manager the whole year.)
Tag Titles: good/5 (Some real good stuff between Monster Mafia, Swann and The Mack. RVD and Rhino did their spots and that's all they need to do, really. Page and Alexander are a really underrated team in the grand scheme of things. The RVD turn was... ehh, something? :420: )
Elgin/MaruFUGI: heck yeah/5 (Poor Marufuji lost his first name traveling across the pond. Just great stuff when things finally got going on the second half)
Ladder: ow/5 (Everyone put their bodies on the line, just a great spotfest. Romero looked awesome, Blanchard had her moments to shine, Austin impressed as a slimy heel and Daga did the great Destroyer on the ladder. :rip: Romero. I'm of two minds on the ending. Austin's wins ties into Edwards winning the title shot and furthers that feud. On the other hand Blanchard is molten hot right now and they should pull the trigger on her before she inevitably leaves. Maybe those rumors about Impact not wanting to "Roman Reigns" her push have some valid ground?)
MOOSE/Shamrock: steroids/5 (How does Shamrock look like that. Aside from the tope, this was nothing special and they went all out on the smoke and mirrors. Better than the RVD/Moose match I guess. Frank Trigg pretty much no-selling Shamrock's punch got a chuckle out of me at least.)
Cage/Callihan: spots/5 (A good intense brawl to end the night. Some sick bumps with the guard rail. Cage is awesome and Callihan has been great during his Impact run.)

This is the second time they've ever signed a contract. They were brought in as local talent for tapings for GFW, ROH and TNA, and had been temporarily signed in TNA in 2017 but were released after 7 months when one half of the team (Adam Thornstowe) tore his bicep a month after signing and they basically sat the rest of the deal

They came back as local talent for the February tapings this year and were liked enough that the door was kept open. Now they've got a contract and hopefully everyone can stay healthy this time so things work out

Ah ok. It seems like they've always been there outside of a few short stretches but good signing I guess? Not that I know what signing with TNA even means anymore.

Getting paid decent-to-good when the pay shows up, with much less required appearances due to the taping schedule, and you're still able to work indies in your free time

So aside from the caveat in the first part, I'm not shocked when people take it over a WWE or AEW attempt. Jordynne's an obvious recent example, she wouldn't still be able to do Sendai Girl appearances which she loves if she had left, and the schedule's light enough that she's able to take all of December off to be with family (which obviously wouldn't be the case even if she'd been signed for NXT)

What the gently caress is Impact doing? Sami/Tessa for the title with Tessa finally going over is the most obvious thing and they're refusing to do it.

From what it sounds like, they are determined to do the whole Bryan Cage-as-champ storyline they had in mind before he got injured before moving on.

It's not surprising that TNA manages to survive financially (if the indies demonstrate anything, it's that wrestlers will basically work for free) but it remains somewhat surprising how short fan memories are.

This one's definitely still the case, regardless of how nothing what they actually do with it is

Also Tenille might already be gone, but that was so nothing of a run I don't really know if it's a negative
