Man,I'm glad they're changing up Trey some. He was by far my favorite in Impact at one point but seems like since the rest of the Rascalz left he's just been spinning his wheels and repeating the same thing over and over. This has got to help,the guy has the talent. He just needs something to separate him from the pack. Ngl I wish ones like Bully,Kaz and Mickie takes a hike and we can get back to the future before they head to bigger and better things. I get why they're there but as long as ones like this is getting the tv time,the future is signing with Hunter and Tony and they gonna be still putting Dreamer vs Bully as their Main Event in ten years.Yeah, it's definitely an issue but it does feel like it needs to be done. Like with WWE/AEW signing people constantly from them it is always good to have people you know the other companies won't sign yet have name/drawing appeal to a casual fan. Like Josh Alexander is great but more casual fans in Vegas are gonna go because they know Bully Ray, Mickie James.
I am worried for the company too if/when Josh leaves them. They put all their eggs in his basket so that will be a tough loss.

Yeah,I definitely get it,ones like Bully and James is always gonna draw casual viewers in and guys like Trey,Ace,Bey,Bailey etc. are just there to jump off something and make the fans go aw. I know WWE and AEW does it all the time too but seems like it worse when Impact does it,since they're most likely gonna loss guys left and right when they don't get the time they think they deserve(and rightfully so) |

Like Allie Katch, Effy, Joey Janela, etc. Like they may not be as big as Mickie or Bully, or even as good, but they do have name recognition in certain parts and at least makes the roster feel fresh. |

He wouldn't be my personal choice either. lol |

I liked Deaner's promo at the start! I feel like VBD has always kinda been like Damage CTRL though. Always posed as a threat yet I felt like they never won a single match. lol I like too that the new VBD looks like "We Have VBD at Home".
Story-wise I get Heath/Rhino winning the tag titles but I was really digging the DDP-Like Red Headed Rebel version of Heath on his own. I felt he was really establishing himself as a legit top babyface. I do like though that we seem to be getting a more vicious Rhino!
It is so cool though that we get MCMG on TV weekly. After going without them for so long, they have not missed a beat. Still so damn good and it's a thrill that we still get to see them.
I like Savannah Evans, as a person. Like on stuff outside of wrestling she seems nice. But in the ring she doesn't do that much for me. I wish the Death Dollz had more teams to fight too. I know AEW has issues with consistently booking their women's division, I wouldn't hate if they sent some to Impact like they did Kaz. Have TayJay or Skye & Madison, of The Baddies challenge for the tag titles.
I like the new vibe to Deaner. Glad it's not just a reskin of VBD. Kon actually won! I feel like The Design already has a better record than VBD!
I really like Trey as a heel! I don't mean this to sound mean, but it feels more natural to him. lol
I also find it odd how Masha and Killer Kelly seemingly vanished off of weekly TV.
Josh/Speedball was good obviously! Both of those guys rarely miss. Match quality wise, I would put this year for Josh Alexander up against anybody. Like match to match quality without dipping, and doing this many matches, I feel like this is an all time year for an individual performer. I liked that Eddie Edwards/Delirious was the announced main event but the title match took up so much TV time that they didn't have time anymore. A fun old territory thing!
I am a little nervous that Bully is actually winning at Hard to Kill. Bully has been crushing it, don't get me wrong, but I would have preferred an Ace Austin/Chris Bey to take the title off of him. Push someone new.

I can't imagine either wwe or aew turning down either of those two. |

People seem pretty damn sure Grace is leaving impact. I feel like she said she signed a new deal not too long ago. It would be weird if she went to AEW right? I know money is money but Gresham literally just had issues with them and had to demand his release to go to impact.

If true could see her ending up in NXT/WWE.Grace Vs Ripley would be pretty badass.As far as Gresham goes could care less,little man with a big ego. |

Who is Steph De Lander? She looks familiar but I'm drawing a blank.
Please quit making me see Sami on my tv and why is Evans still a thing without Tasha?

Steph De Lander was Persia Perota in NXT, teamed with Indi Hartwell. I think she’s a good signing for Impact. I was really hoping Triple H would bring her back to NXT/WWE, but I guess he missed out. |

Looks like another group of heels vs group of faces feuding for control of the company is coming. An impact staple lol
