Thursday's broadcast features the return of OPEN FIGHT NIGHT!

It's the last chance for the IMPACT WRESTLING Superstars to settle
any and all grudges before the New Year! Who will get called out?

Tune in and find out!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Austin Aries is still enraged that Bobby Roode cost him his chance at
regaining the World Heavyweight Title during last week's CHAMPIONSHIP
THURSDAY! Will Aries call out Roode this week during OPEN FIGHT NIGHT?

If so, will Roode step up to the challenge?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This week's IMPACT WRESTLING broadcast will also feature the first
ever "BRO-OFF" between Robbie E and Jessie! Who is the biggest "BRO" on
IMPACT ? How will Robbie and Jessie settle the challenge?

Yes, this is seriously happening. No, there's nothing I can do to stop it.

Avert your eyes. It's the only thing I can suggest that might help.

The lovely TNA Knockouts will be in action on OPEN FIGHT NIGHT!
Gail Kim has made it known that she plans to call out a specific Knockout
to fight her! Who does Gail have a score to settle with?

@TheAcesAnd8s:

Our "pick" comes to see us tonight....

Oh, and the #1 reason to tune in tonight:

@JOSEPHPARK_esq:

Tonight at 8/7c on @IMPACTWRESTLING - the 3rd part of my training airs. They interviewed me for an hour. Tell me if I look okay.

 

[klunderbunker]

This one is live right?

 

[The 1-2-3 Killam]

This one is live right?

No, unfortunately. There are spoilers out there, although I don't think Wrestlezone ever bothered to put any up. Probably because I just now realized it wasn't live. But they do return to the live format next week with the first show of 2013. That could potentially be a good show. And from the spoilers I've seen of tonight's, it might not actually be half bad. Potentially some good wrestling, if nothing else. And of course no backstage segments aired to the live crowd, so still looking forward to finding out who their new man might be.

I'm going to try being more positive tonight IDR. If for no other reason, than because you're probably going to hate what I said about Zema Ion in my Top 50 list.

 

[Wolf Pac]

Did those spoilers mention anything about what the main event for Genesis is gonna be?

 

[The 1-2-3 Killam]

No, and I wouldn't say if they did. I'd put all my money on the Roode/Hardy/Aries 3-way though.

I'm assuming this isn't a top-50 list of the most overrated performers in wrestling, is it?

 

[The 1-2-3 Killam]

Considering that Damien Sandow isn't #1, I'd say no, it is not.

 

[Skairipa Matrix]

A bro off? Hell yeah.

 

[The 1-2-3 Killam]

A bro off? Hell yeah.

I'm actually growing fond of the Tara/Jesse couple. And I've never hated the Robbie's, so I think this could actually be a bit of comedy gold. Hilarity should ensue.

Oh, it'll be funny, for sure, but the fact it's taking up air time over other performers (hey there, Mr. Anderson) is absurd.

 

[The 1-2-3 Killam]

Meh. I've gotten to the point where there's such an over-saturation of wrestling throughout the week, that sometimes I can appreciate some down-time comedy segments. Particularly if they're quality, like I expect this one to be, rather than half of WWE's junk that ends with my rolling my eyes or finding the mute button.

I'm also not a big Mr. Anderson fan, but the point still remains: the segment is taking time away from other guys who could be using the slot.

Bottom line is that if Genesis is gradually built towards, and every match is accounted for in the weeks of Impact leading up to it, I don't care who is and who isn't put over. If they intend to do something with these four at Genesis, than I don't mind them taking up a segment. Particularly because it will probably bring in decent viewership for their quarter hour.

@facdaniels:

TONIGHT! Your #1 tag team, THE Bad Influence in TNA, we turn up the juice! Wanna see what shakes loose? IMPACT! 8pm! Michael Keaton-approved

 

[It's Damn Real!]

Not sure I'll be in here on time tonight. If not, enjoy an IDR-free week.

 

[The 1-2-3 Killam]

Michael Keaton approved? Does that mean Crimson will return?

 

[Joe's Gonna Kill You]

TNA! TNA! TNA!

 

[JJYanks121]

Not sure I'll be in here on time tonight. If not, enjoy an IDR-free week.

But....but........there's no hockey?

 

[Joe's Gonna Kill You]

Bully!!!

 

[klunderbunker]

Great. Open freaking Fight Night.

 

[The 1-2-3 Killam]

Brooke Hogan, not actually looking half-bad tonight.

 

[klunderbunker]

Does no one watch the freaking shows anymore?

Oh he knows "about us". Not cute.

 

[JJYanks121]

HOW DOES HE KNOW??? Could it be that it was shown at the end of a nationally televised show last week? Forget that Hulk was there to actually see it, everybody saw it on TV!

 

[The 1-2-3 Killam]

Awkward way to kick off the show.

 

[Joe's Gonna Kill You]

TGMTEL

 

[Skairipa Matrix]

Aries vs Roode in the main event of impact. Sounds good to me.
