Supposedly Buddy Matthew debuts tonight but I have no idea how real that is

I'm going to admit, I was preparing myself for Melina to beat Purrazzo - I read the spoilers for the next few weeks, and they purposefully left it vague who would win.

This is the second episode of Impact I've watched since I decided to give it another shot, and I have to say, I'm finding myself enjoying it. The place they're shooting it in is kinda rinky-dink, but outside of that it kinda reminds me a bit of Ring of Honor back in the early-mid 2010s, when I was watching that on a regular basis.

There are large swaths of the roster that I don't care about, so I tend to skim through episodes, but pretty much every title scene in the company is hot right now and the women's roster is really solid.

I’d go beyond that and say Impact has the best women’s division outside of promotions that only do women’s wrestling. There’s not a weak link in the chain - every wrestler is not only competent, but has a well-defined character. Remember when Tenille Dashwood was trying to divide Grace and Ellering? I was almost shocked at how the pair didn’t split, because they weren’t morons and saw through the deceit.

Then, you’ve got Deonna Purrazzo. With all due respect to Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D., the Virtuosa is the best women’s wrestler in the West. The fact that WWE didn’t know what to do with her becomes an even more damning indictment of the Performance Center every day. The crazy thing is that, despite being a title-holder for 12 of the past 13 months, there are STILL wrestlers she hasn’t faced in Impact. Scott D’Amore is as good at producing women’s wrestling as he is looking like ex-Barenaked Ladies frontman Steven Page.

I liked that one of the first things Britt Baker did, after winning the AEW women's title and during the time Kenny Omega was in full flight as the Belt Collector with the AEW, Impact and AAA belts, was to go to Tony Khan and say "so when do I get Deonna?" :v:

Deonna is having a fantastic run and I hope coward Tony does the needful. Following her dope match with Melina at NWA EmPowerrr yesterday, she attacked Mickie James at NWA 73 today - i wouldn't be opposed to a Mickie James x Deonna Purrazzo at BFG if I'm honest.

Don legit has one of my favourite wrestling calls, because of how legit it felt. I think it literally is the "YOU HAVE GOTTA BE FREAKIN KIDDIN ME" bit, but it's Jeff Hardy doing a dive from probably a legit 12-14 feet up to the floor.

Edit: As suspected, Bound For Glory is happening at Sam's Town Live, they're also doing TV tapings the following two nights.

Notes from Gail & Chrissy's FB stream on Impact's page:
- they'll be taping matches for this during this weekend block. Chrissy Hemme is back in a behind-the-scenes role but also on-screen
- couple announced names: Renee Michelle, Lady Frost and motherfucking Mercedes Martinez
- they discuss the passing of Daffney and her work in TNA / Impact; want to honor her memory with a Monster's Ball match.
- "we want to have female refs; female announcers; female commentary

Isn’t a monster’s ball match exactly what gave her a major concussion that they refused to cover treatment for

I realize management has changed since then but that seems pretty awkward

Here we go:

Terry Taylor asked Daffney to let Abyss chokeslam her off the ring apron and onto a barbed-wire board. Daffney reluctantly agreed to perform the stunt and, for her trouble, she suffered a concussion. Since Spike TV refused to let TNA show any form of man-on-woman violence, TNA cut the stunt from broadcast. To complete Daffney's humiliation, TNA refused to pay for her medical costs - and the company sent Terry Taylor to deliver the news.

The Monster’s Ball matches were on PPV, not Spike TV.

e: I SEE the disconnect - she was interfering in a match that time, not a participant in the match.

I'd say Impact Wrestling suspending Tommy Dreamer indefinably would hurt the product, but there is no empirical evidence to prove that.
