This strikes me more as a smoke screen. They're probably still going to Impact, just using this to try to fool people.

To be honest at this stage I just assume WWE, AEW, and TNA wrestlers just bump into each other while doing maskless grocery shopping because Southern Florida is the center of the wrestling world.

Impact ending:
The ending promo for Slammiversary said the returning former World Champ wouldn't be coming back alone
Added to the video were flashes of Amazing Red, Gregory Helms, the Beautiful People, Bully Ray, and kids (Heath Slater's)
There were three glasses of booze that got picked up

Twitch aftershow:
Callis teased Gallows and Anderson
Callis was in Atlanta. Maria and Mike Kanellis flew there yesterday

Slammiversary card (still a week to add matches but this is mostly full, I'd say):
Alisha Edwards, Jessicka Havok, Kiera Hogan, Kimber Lee, Kylie Rae, Nevaeh, Rosemary, Susie (Su Yung), Tasha Steelz, Taya Valkyrie and Madison Rayne in a gauntlet for #1 contendership to the Knockouts title
Willie Mack defends the X title against Chris Bey
Jordynne Grace defends the Knockouts title against Deonna Purrazzo
The North (Ethan Page and Josh Alexander) defend the tag titles against Sami Callihan and Ken Shamrock
Moose defends the TNA title against Tommy Dreamer
Ace Austin, Eddie Edwards, Trey Miguel and a mystery opponent fight in a fatal fourway for the vacant Impact title

I'm actually kinda interested in the PPV with Tessa and Elgin gone and potential for appearances by the new hires.

The last time I was kinda interested in a TNA PPV it was when Tessa was about to fight for the belt then we found out a day before the event she was turbo racist and that killed my interest. I wonder what will kill my interest this time.

Add "paycheck protection loans' to the endless "we just need" list

Ringside news posted:

WWE is the only pro wrestling company that had widespread cuts due to the coronavirus. Impact Wrestling had to apply for a loan in order to keep paying their staff.

According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Anthem Wrestling Exhibitions applied for a PPP loan. The loan is between $150,000 to $350,000 with the intention to save 106 jobs.

The Paycheck Protection Program provides loans for small businesses so they can keep paying their workers. Impact Wrestling obviously wanted to take advantage of this program.

It was not noted if Impact Wrestling’s request for a PPP loan was successful. It was filed on April 4th so they will have to wait and see.

Impact Wrestling’s next pay-per-view is Slammiversary on July 18th. Hopefully, the company will be granted this loan so they don’t have to let anyone go.
