Canadian dude, Stu Hart trained. Drew well in Canada. Did some WWF stuff but no real impact there.

He'd be better appreciated if whoever had the Stampede tapes wasn't sitting on them.

Gama Singh may have been as reviled in Calgary as the Freebirds were in WCCW, although I don't know how accurate that is because I haven't seen much of the Freebirds vs the Von Erichs.

Keep these and add the new belts and you'll have a belt for each person on the roster

When I was doing ring crew for an F-tier indy back in the day the owner and his brother were the tag champs and the brother got drunk one night and lost his belt and they couldn't afford to replace it so for like a year the tag champs had one belt

TNA reminds me of that

The new belts will cost 250k each to produce and somehow end up with the GFW logos on them.

To be fair, if they're using GFW belts with stickers, that's actually a good reason to buy new ones.

This is the second set of tapings they've had with that set of belts

They replaced the belts they misspelled Impact on faster than they'll have replaced the sticker belts

LAX vs OvE and Sami Callihan in a no-ropes Barbed Wire Massacre match. That main event will not air on Pop though, deemed “too violent” by the network and therefore it will appear on Konnan’s Twitch channel.

Right, I forgot WrestleCircus was on there, and I'm pretty sure they booked violent grudge matches before. Maybe it counts under an "entertainment" category and not, like, real street fights or assault that they wouldn't allow.

Chelsea Green will probably be at the next NXT tryout. It isn't an EC3 situation essentially where he has a deal waiting.

Eddie Edwards as you could surmise from how he was booked is thought to be staying with IMPACT.
