Impact Support Club House

It is indeed the right attitude and they have almost nowhere to go but up.

Having Dutch Mantel and Bruce Prichard as on screen characters in 2017 though.......I'm really not sure how well that's going to be received.

Del Rio lost any interest I had a LONG time ago. If he's a heel he's death but a face run is intriguing.
 
Depends how motivated ADR is. He isn't going to push the needle outside the Hispanic market, but if he is motivated he can hold his own in the ring.

So far I have heard no news on the tag title situation.

They did have Dutch cut a promo where he ran down all the latent they used to have that went to WWE. Said they lacked leadership and vision. I get taking a jab at old management, but they shoot down AJ and Roode and Joe, those guys carried TNA.
 
Was Mantell on-air, too? I'm fine with Pritchard on-air. I'm worried about what Karen Jarrett will be.

Del Rio is boring as fuck to me, but I just meant that he meets the criteria for good. It's not like them bringing in Great Khali.

Wait, what? Mantell cut a promo shooting on AJ, Roode, and Joe?

From 411mania's spoiler coverage:

The man known as Zeb Colter in an alternate universe comes out. Dutch says this is the first time he appeared on Impact. Dutch talks about how much he loves wrestling. He mentions being in Impact and then runs through the roster the last time he was here and mentioned AJ, Joe, Sting , Roode, Nash, and more. They left because of a lack of leadership and vision.

According to what I'm reading on reddit, yes. He also included names like Nash and Sting in the promo. It sounds like he was shooting on old management, and those guys got caught in the crossfire.

KB posted what appears to be a more accurate summary.
 
Oh, bit of a laughable moment for me. Brandi Rhodes was supposed to have a match, which Cody interrupted on the grounds that "no one is going to pimp out the Rhodes name."

Later in the show he came out with his GFW title.
 
Oh and intupical fashion, they fucked up ADRs tron video. When he debuted at the start of the tapings, it said Alberto De Patron, but by the end of the night it read Alberto El Patron.
 
Patron beat Lashley. No word on if it was for the title.

If that's a title change:

First night.

Ex-WWE talent.

World Champion.

AND IT'S ALL NEW BABY!!!

They said it was a title match. Dusty finish, with ADR leaving with the belt despite referees trying to sort out what happened.

I get that you want a shock moment to try to pop ratings, no pun intended, but ADR is the guy you go with???
 
Best part of the tapings. During a break between matches they asked the audience to stand, place their hand over their heart, and chant "We the people, will make Impact great again!"
 
A comment on 411 says the Del Rio title finish is a way to bring in a new title belt. That might be the case for all of the titles.
 
Yeah I read she is supposed to be making some appearances, along with Leva Bates, aka Blue Pants from NXT.

No word on if she was just there to watch or if she is going to have a role, but SoCal Val was in the front row and they showed her on the tron a lot between filming.
 
For clarity, Josh is staying on commentary, but JB is joining as a third man?

Seems that way, which is good as Josh was driving me nuts as the heel commentator tonight. HAving a heel commentator is a good thing but having him as your lead play by play man doesn't work. It didn't work for Michael Cole and it's not working here. Bringing in JB as a face play by play man is fine and makes this work.
