IMPACT Wrestling LD for 9.30.15 — BFG Go-Home Show... or Whatever

[It's Damn Real!]

Live Discussion for September 30th, 2015

 

[It's Damn Real!]

I actually forgot this was on tonight. Won't be watching live anyway. Rangers/Bruins preseason game is on now. I'll be on delay, which means I'll be able to fast-forward through the really bad stuff. If the last few weeks are any indication of quality, I might able to get through IMPACT the way I used to get through RAW years ago... in about ten minutes.

I'm curious to see what we'll be getting in a few weeks. They're out of taped material after this week and they're not heading to India for nearly two months. It sounds like Best Of ahoy for about seven weeks.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

They probably have a decent amount of Xplosion and ONO footage to work with, but yeah, it's gonna be rough.

 

[klunderbunker]

That was actually good.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

Just getting started now. Let's see if I can catch up.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

This is actually a solid back-and-forth between Dixie and EC3.

 

[klunderbunker]

Erg Melendez.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

Up to Roode, this has actually been a solid go-home show thus far. So much better than the last two weeks.

I'm even somewhat excited for TJ Perkins and Abyss! ABYSS! I can't think of the last time I gave a shit about Abyss.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

Fuck, I like Tommaso Ciampa. Shame. He went to NXT, right?

 

[It's Damn Real!]

I'm loving the old school JB interview segments. Especially where the wrestlers just walk in talking, then cut straight promos. Reminds me of early WCW with Flair, Dusty, etc.

 

[klunderbunker]

Yeah he did but he hasn't been well received and there's a good chance he won't get hired full time.

 

[klunderbunker]

Review is up.

Only TNA

 

[It's Damn Real!]

Yeah he did but he hasn't been well received and there's a good chance he won't get hired full time.

With NXT? Oh, that's good news. Could be a rejection gift the way Bram, EC3 and The Wolves all were.

I'm just past the Dollhouse/BP match. Thus far, IMPACT has actually been solid tonight. Entertaining. Great go-home show to this point.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

Even this EY/Robbie/Anderson/Melendez bit has been good. Loving the I am god, I've been looking for you my whole life promo work!

Melendez is clearly the worst part about this whole thing, but this is still good story-telling.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

You know what, I even like the addition of Matt Hardy to the main event at BFG. It's a more compelling match than Galloway/EC3, especially with neither Galloway nor EC3 being that strong of a wrestler themselves. Hardy should help to craft a better match.

 

[klunderbunker]

Aside from the fact that he's lost both shots he's already had.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

Well, sure, but Melendez also lost like thirty-five straight matches before he finally beat Young.

 

[klunderbunker]

And that was a stupid story.

It doesn't help that I'm kind of sick of the Hardys. I don't dislike them but I really don't need to see them ever again.
