Squashing Tamina might be cool too. Getting a quick, decisive win over her would be as good or better than doing it with Lana, or she could just kill them both.

Ethan Page debuted for Impact as Chandler Park, a relative of Abyss/Joseph Park. James Storm lost a Loser/Winner Leaves Town match.

Yup. FWIW he lost the match to Dan Lambert, who has been openly bagging on TNA and pro wrestling in general in his promos and I guess now has to stay?

Don't forget that Dixie Carter also used the Harris Brothers to intimidate TNA production staff that were short paid because TNA couldn't afford to pay them what they were owed. They are complete fuckmen.

2 Cage/Lashley matches and the formation of a Big Boy Club makes these tapings seem really fun. I might actually watch some TNA this month (or in February or whenever this poo poo is going to air)

Probably for the New Orleans Takeover rather than Philly though, since they need some time to collect some clean Russian piss so he can pass a physical.

Surely Eric Young has to be in a now or never situation by this point. Killian Dane and Nikki Cross are going to be stars, and there's the other dude I guess.

Without Sanity, Eric would probably just be a guy and would maybe join Tye Dillinger and Mike Kanellis working pre-Smackdown dark match openers. With Sanity he "backdoored" into a potential hot act main roster act.

I'm not sure about this, he's better in most ways than Roode outside of an intangible (and overhyped) 'main event star quality' that hasn't materialized for Bobby on the main roster at all. Given equal amounts of promo time as Roode gets I think EY would have a shot at being at a Rusev level.

As with all things it depends on how he'd be used, but he usually seemed to bring out the best of the mostly dumb stuff he was given in TNA, and that's about the most important main roster skill you can have.

Sanity has to be a lock because they can't have two acts with that War Machine-rear end gear on the same show

You're thinking of James Storm's stable of TJP, Sanada, and Abyss.

It's not really clear what Cult of Lee is.

Why is that bad again? The Roman match was always going to be a bathroom break regardless of who else was involved and Bryan/Miz is an improvement over Bryan/Cass. That also frees up Lashley, Owens, and Zayn for something else.

TV Zombie posted:

OTOH, Lashley, Owens and Zayn may just be left off of the PPV altogether.

Still an improvement over any match with Jinder, though I imagine Lashley/Zayn will have some sort of street fight variant at least.

I get the idea of that but I have a hard time imagining that there's actually anyone who makes their ticket purchasing decision based on that one time Edge won a title at a house show or something.

I was at that house show and it did actually influence my decision to keep going to house shows, but I'm not sure if I'm typical or not.

with callis in the office and callihan representing tna on the jericho roh cruise and them promoting bone soldier with the bullet club and lion mark logos it seems entirely possible that impact becomes a canadian branch of the njpw-roh axis

ROH has always done better in Canada, or at least Toronto though. Drawing 300 for the Monday tapings and probably that or less for yesterday doesn't seem like it'd be worth undercutting ROH for.

I suppose it could happen if ROH was real thirsty for a partnership with Impact but ROH or even NJPW on it's own would outdraw an Impact-branded thing.
