I could have gone to this show and was making plans to until I learned I had to dog-sit for my parents this weekend Glad the show seemed incredible, and super happy for Alex Shelley.

Goddamnit I love pro-wrestling. I really hope he's still the champ when they roll thru Memphis.

I think they could get some excitement for a match between the MCMG and ABC now, because there's the tension of 'are they gonna give the Guns all the gold, or do you have Bey or Austin pin one of them to get a title shot later'.

If they go that route, which is an easy one to do and one I would expect, I wonder the timeline and sequence of events. We already have Nick Aldis challenging at Slammiversary for the World title, so unless they have a Double Jeopardy match you only have two Impact Plus shows to do various combinations until Bound for Glory.

D'Lo Brown gave an interview with Fightful, and he mentioned that one of the long-term goals for Impact Wrestling is for every TV broadcast be live. While that would be ideal for the promotion, I wonder how much of the talent signed chose Impact Wrestling BECAUSE you only work two weekends a month.

Scott D'Amore and PCO vs Bully Ray and Steve Maclin at Slammiversary

Moose re-signed, for what he claims is the longest-term contract anybody has ever signed with the promotion.

Probably retiring in the company. He's been there 7 years as of next month and is going to be there at least 3 more (every long-term extension they've done at least the last 4 years has been 2-years), and enters his 40s next year

I'm a bit behind but I'm catching up, and every segment with Hendry & Dango has been delightful.

Natural Classics are Stevie and Tome Filip, they've done tag work for New Japan and NWA on their recent/semi-recent Australia stops. Same for VeloCities (Jude London and Paris de Silva), although they've also been on RevPro and Warrior Wrestling De Silva's the only one I'm familiar with/remembering, good high-flyer

VeloCities had some really good tag matches last year in RevPro with Aussie Open, the match from Epic Encounter 2022 is well worth a look

I don't know what you call the team of Slamovich and Kelly, because anything accurate would be too cartoonish.

I haven't watched Impact since they were TNA, but this is drat cool: Impact Wrestling to host major televised pro wrestling’s first Pride Nightquote:IMPACT Wrestling will host its first Pride Night in Windsor, Ontario, on July 16. The event makes IMPACT the first major televised pro wrestling promotion ever to host a Pride Night and follows the release of the company’s first Pride photoshoot earlier this month.

That's nice. I haven't had a chance to watch the first Australian show yet, but I'll wait until tomorrow to see if I need to get the two-pack.

Oof. Thought his injury on night 1 against Shelley was a storyline https://twitter.com/IMPACTWRESTLING/status/1677682705729724418?s=20

That sucks. Hopefully he gets back at the same time as Josh Alexander.

Slammiversary is tomorrow Death Dollz (Courtney Rush and Jessicka) and Jody Threat vs Gisele Shaw, Savannah Evans and Jai Vidal in a preshow match Joe Hendry defends the Digital Media title against Kenny King in a preshow match Frankie Kazarian vs Eddie Edwards Speedball Mike Bailey, Jonathan Gresham, Alan Angels, Kevin Knight and KUSHIDA in a fiveway Ultimate X Bully Ray and Deaner vs Scott D'Amore and a partner to-be-determined (was Bully and Steve Maclin vs D'Amore and PCO, but Bully and Maclin set PCO on fire on Impact, and Maclin got legit severely hurt against Alex Shelley in Australia) The Coven (Taylor Wilde and KiLynn King) defend the Knockouts tag titles against Killer Kelly and Masha Slamovich Bullet Club (Chris Bey and Ace Austin) defend the tag titles in a fourway against Subculture (Flash Morgan Webster and Mark Andrews), Brian Myers and Moose, and Sami Callihan and Rich Swann Chris Sabin defends the X title against Lio Rush Deonna Purrazzo defends the Knockouts title against Trinity Fatu Alex Shelley defends the world title against Nick Aldis

That's a legit great card by Impact ruined by the Nick Aldis main event. I know there's probably a storyline reason, but man there's like 3 or 4 guys on the undercard they could have replaced Aldis with.

If anything it's going to make me cheer for Shelley more.

Slammiversary developments: Kenny King is the new Digital Media champ. Joe Hendry's reign was the longest of the belt's history at 266 days KUSHIDA is #1 contender to the X title, having won Ultimate X Killer Kelly and Masha Slamovich are the new Knockouts tag champs Eric Young is back from the dead, having reunited with Scott D'Amore to get revenge on Deaner Lio Rush squashed Chris Sabin (after knocking him out before the match started) and became the new X division champ Subculture (Flash Morgan Webster and Mark Andrews) are the new tag champs after the Rascalz (Trey Miguel and Zachary Wentz) attacked Bullet Club (Ace Austin and Chris Bey) Trinity Fatu is the new Knockouts champ And though Alex Shelley was the only champ in the company to retain, even that looks in jeopardy soon; Josh Alexander, the former champ who was forced to vacate due to injury in the middle of the longest world title reign in the company's history, returned to close the show

Show was good. I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed the Bully Ray clusterfuck match. Yelling at grandmas, MY BALLS, a ref quitting his job in the middle of the match, and D'Amore hitting Sky Highs and leg lariats and poo poo.
