 ROLL CALL OF CURRENT CHAMPIONS Impact World Champion: Rich Swann Rich Swann felt disrespected by AEW's Kenny Omega, who waltzed into Swann's territory and proclaimed to be the REAL World Champion. They were involved in a six-man tag, and Omega pinned Swann. What does this mean?!?!? Oh, and Moose is the number one contender, having been awarded it by Swann in exchange for not Pillmanizing his good friend Willie Mack. Impact World Tag Team Champions: The Good Brothers Doc Gallows and Karl Anderson have revealed their true colors, allying themselves with Kenny Omega. You may have seen the three of them win a match this week. The Motor City Machine Guns are obvious challengers, although Alex Shelly couldn't make it to Hard to Kill due to unspecified circumstances. Impact X-Division Champion: Manik Manik is TJP under a mask/face paint. After defending the X-Division Championship against both Rohit Raju and Chris Bey, Super X-Cup winner Ace Austin waits in the wings. Impact Knockouts Champion: Deonna Purrazzo The best wrestler signed to Impact Wrestling continues to wrestle good. With Taya Valkyrie submitted, my best guess is a feud with Rosemary, or possibly "Susan". Impact Knockouts Tag Team Champions: Fire and Flava As I had predicted the moment these titles were announced to come back, the team of Kiera Hogan and Tasha Steelz are the re-inaugural champions. There are plenty of women who could challenge them, including some that haven't signed with Impact Wrestling yet. NEXT PAY-PER-VIEW EVENT: REBELLION April 24th, presumably at Skyway Studios due to COVID-19 still being a thing.

How was the show? Worth buying for someone who doesn't watch Impact regularly and finds the weekly TV weirdly boring and lifeless (largely due to commentary and the empty arena)?

I watched it and thought it was pretty entertaining. The matches themselves were pretty good, highlights being the triple threat and main imo. Worst thing was the commentary as it wasn't all that great most of the night but at least they're earnest so I looked passed it even thou they did gently caress up numerous times. Mainly Striker was bad. D'Lo was okay. Overall good entertaining wrestling but nothing truly special. DuhSal fucked around with this message at 02:51 on Jan 18, 2021 |

I think most/all of the best stuff will be posted by impact on their YouTube by the end of the week. The last match is absolutely great though.

Ethan isn't happy with how the Karate Man match was presented.quote:I’m going to take a full blown break from social media. I’ll be staying active on my personal Patreon as much as I can & probably in this group too cuz I love the fig life & u guys. Xoxox. But man .... last night sucked. I’m so embarrassed with how IMPACT! lazily edited that segment last night & forced it to be a joke. I felt the thought of the same guys fighting each other was comedy enough & the more serious we took it the better the reaction would be. But cuz I left the company, they lied to my face & just did what they wanted the whole time. I’m sorry if any of my fans paid for that PPV & felt cheated. I honestly feel the free version I gave away was made with more love, care & attention to detail. Sadly I had no control over the creative or the final product & the editor refused to send it to me beforehand .... https://www.cagesideseats.com/impact-wrestling/2021/1/17/22236452/ethan-page-upset-at-impact-hard-to-kill-match-editing

Commentary wasn't great, but D'Lo was inoffensive and the occasional Striker's high was better than Matthews'. Actually thought Striker did a pretty solid job in the main event. The show was also helped out a bit by adding some artificial crowd sound, not quite 2000s SmackDown bad, but a nice enough touch.

The added crowd noise absolutely added to the show...except when they had the "This is Awesome" chants which sounded like 4-5 people chanting it.

Man, Matt Hardy's making so much money, 50% of Private Party's earnings tonight because it's a third party show, then 30% tomorrow on Dynamite, along with 100% of his own, that's like 230% money

I am sure this is absolutely true, but the way he framed it made it sound like his workplace also has really stringent travel guidelines that “going to wrestle in Nashville” would violate.

Of all the things that I thought would happen in the future, being more tempted to buy an Impact show over loving Wrestlemania was not one of them.J-Ro posted:Speaking of matches, this should be a good one: I mean, this match.

The three-hour Raw would be massively improved if it was like the three-hour Nitro, and featured their Cruiserweights exclusively. On topic, the Triple Threat Revolver match is probably the best new match invention that doesn’t involve physical objects in the longest time.

personally i think you just let it be elimination all the way to the end, instead of changing things up for the final three, but that's very impact to have a rules change partway through

Christian's been doing some NJPW US shows too, I think he's just moved up in the world to "waiting on the pandemic to end so he can work NJPW" more than waiting on a NXT deal to come through.
