Hear me out... D-Lo Brown & Veda Scott.

Unfortunately this definitely means that (hopefully temporarily) Matthews is back - that's their usual fall back plan.

As much as I don't want him at the table, he's still a major step up. Striker is insufferable.

Josh is bad in his own ways but holy poo poo I really forgot how much worse Striker could get.

Make Ian the voice of AXStv wrestling, sounds good to me.

Tonight is the Hard To Kill go-home show - a good night for Knockouts (and some other stuff is happening):

Mercedes in two promotions at once rules. :woop:

Masha and Frost are both really good too. KO division is still the best division.

Triplemania Regia was the worst I'd ever heard Striker, to the point that I eventually switched to a language I barely speak. He missed several pinfall calls and was actively googling who people were during their entrances.

There's a new free (with ads) streaming service ala PlutoTV that launched today called Sports.TV, and like Pluto, Impact has its own channel on there too. In case you want stuff on in the background

Stuff like this rules imo

Jake Something off the preshow fourway, presumably with COVID

Speedball obviously a great replacement

I meant that he was a good PBP guy, and that's not what WWE want, so that is why he was fired.

Ahh okay that makes more sense, I was worried that Vic Joseph or whoever’s on NXT UK was a secret top-tier commentator.

God I hope that's long-term and not just for the PPV. Good commentary can really make or break a show sometimes.


Wait, is that Tall Tom who had to squat to interview shorter WWE wrestlers? lmao

Tom Philips was a massive improvement on commentary. It made the PPV noticeably more watchable.

Josh Mathews is Actually The Worst and so is Matt Striker, so I'm not remotely surprised on either count.

The fact that Moose retained is such a big wet fart to me though. I think Moose is so...just there, and if that's what you're saying about a world champion, that's a big yikes.

If they're planning on continuing the Josh Alexander / Moose feud (seems like it) then I'm fine with him as the champ - just want to see Josh Alexander standing over Moose's beaten body with the belt in his hand.

The KO title situation is interesting imho:
- do you let your champ get tossed in a forgettable rumble? (dumb, devalues the title and the division)
- do you take the belt off her beforehand? (you didn't on PPV, could still pull some shenanigans during the tapings I guess)
- does Mickie win the Rumble as the KO champ (LMAO, but what if)

I wonder if this means Deonna is on her way out, maybe she'll finally get her Britt match?

Yeah I agree re: Moose. He's not interesting to me but is a far better choice than any other available option in that match, especially if he's a belt pillow for Alexander. Ain't nobody need a Big Cass or Cardona championship reign.
