That story really undersells that Dave Crist had his brother turn against him in the locker room and somehow he remained employed.

I was wondering how he ended up in CancelCulture and what happened to oVe.


I think that's Jake. Jake is the blonde. I think.

you're right, it is Jake.

Yeah, this is the part that struck me as well. Sami Callihan being a voice of reason is throwing me off. I mean, broken clock yadda yadda but god drat. How low do you have to go to be shunned by Sami Callihan?

The Dave Crist stuff probably has the biggest impact for me because when I went to the Naito Takes Dayton show that Revolver did, we got in early and sat amongst the crowd for 60-90 mins before the show started while people did meet and greets with Naito and Dave Crist sat right in front of us in the first row shooting the poo poo with everyone in the crowd for like an hour.

He was pretty funny, charismatic, seemed super nice. Didn’t say or do anything inappropriate and at the time I remember being genuinely surprised how okay he seemed.

So I have the most direct understanding as to how that guy could do what he did for so long because I can see how people would gravitate toward him or feel comfortable around him.

Nothing Impact does means poo poo until they remove the serial predators and harassers at the top.

Firing rapists doesn't deserve praise and they knew about Elgin for months.

I know it's different ownership, but in the past Impact has "suspended" people immediately after taping, and then ended the suspension just in time for them to be on the next set of tapings. Elign's been a shithead for years, just fire him.

Likewise. I hung out with Dave for about 30 mins after a show and had the same impression. Spent a lot of time yesterday thinking about it.

Since tonight's Impact was taped in advance, they made edits. There was a match with Crazzy Steve and two mystery partners against Cancel Culture (Joey Ryan, Jake Crist and RVD); that's obviously not airing

They don't know how they're going to handle the Elgin footage since that was part of their main event program for the upcoming PPV

Haven't they already had to blur someone out of pre-taped footage due to a contract snafu? Just do that again and redub his voice and all the commentary so he's the PHANTOM BLUR that's come to reduce the world to a fuzzy pixelated mess.

They barely finished editing the episode

PWInsider posted:

As noted, Impact had to edit Joey Ryan out of the show after he was released due to allegations from the "#SpeakingOut" movement on social media. It was noted that things came down to the wire as Impact officials made it just in time to deliver the episode to AXS.

The situation was described as "another 30 minutes and we wouldn't have been on the air, at all."

And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

STOP DOING HEROIN
E: From the PWI article

quote:

Relations between Blanchard and Impact had become increasingly icy in recent weeks, especially after Blanchard did not send promos from Mexico (where she has been residing) for the 6/1 episode of Impact on AXS. That footage was slated to have been edited into a sit-down interview conducted by Josh Mathews “via satellite.” When that material was not received, Impact had to re-edit the episode with other content and have host segments of the show changed and new voiceovers cut.

Impact sources cite that there were attempts made to get Blanchard to return and drop the title but that the two sides were not able to come to terms, leading to Impact opting to cut bait and move forward.

I for one am shocked that putting the belt on a racist bully who is notorious for not playing ball didn't work out for them

Impact, still just casually having their world champion's contracts set to expire before the next PPV. Amazing.

Tessa's awful for her own reasons but Impact is really showing its whole dysfunctional rear end yet again.
