Steve Maclin has a giant mouth (literally) and seems like he's actually kind of good? I've only caught his squashes for the most part but that match with Gresham was great imo

He has great chemistry with smaller guys who can pinball off of him. I wasn't sure why they put him in the X division at first, but those two matches made perfect sense.

yeah Impact's run is really strong right now. They've got a bunch of factions, can generally get one really good match to TV a week and a whole bunch of wrestlers Tony Khan wouldn't know what to do with.

So, as things have been pointed out to me, and as I want to see what the Jay White is up to, I might slowly be acclimating to being able to care about the current day Impact product. In the interest of developing this capacity for enjoyment, I'd like to pay Impact a major compliment. No other wrestling company in the US is using glossy, moody, downbeat hip-hop music, which has been such a dominant sound in popular music for so long that how nobody else is taking advantage of it is baffling. The current aesthetics on many entrances is excellent. Decay's entrance looks fantastic, Chris Bey's new Bullet Club logo and song are great, Jonah's song is perfect. Even little things like the camera angles on people standing on the turnbuckle really work. It's hard to get used to the small venue, and sometimes a moment that should've come across as impactful and surprising seems lame when there's so little crowd noise reacting to it, but if I think of it as the organic modern version of the kind of "studio show" that the NWA was more clumsily trying to emulate, it seems more acceptable. And it is a hell of a lot better than fake crowd noise, which I'm growing super aware of and annoyed by lately.

One of the things Impact Wrestling has that AEW rarely has is the element of surprise with regards to match results. When you watch an episode of Dynamite, you know who is winning a match 90% of the time. I’d put Impact’s predictability at about 50%, and that’s mostly when someone is in line for a title shot. It makes for an intriguing product, if I do say so myself.

I check in with Impact stuff every now and again, and it's really evident they improved exponentially over the last few years. Even though they have a lot of guys high in the card I really do not give a single gently caress about (Morrissey, Moose, Gallows) there's a lot to like further along the roster and they try to build new guys now and again (Ace Austin is really loving good, seek out his Sabin match from October---he's going to be their AJ Styles in a few years). Not to mention how big of a deal they treat the women's roster, legit fantastic stable there, and they've legit had people like Tessa (RIP) and Jordynne Grace featured toe to toe with male workers. I actually hope a lot of the WWE releases go there instead just because they could use more momentum and the AEW roster is really stacked as is.

I hope Impact is able to claw its' way back to bigger and better things - there's a bunch of cool people putting in good work there and they deserve to be appreciated... Also having two good U.S. TV promotions would be real nice. On the card for tonight: https://twitter.com/IMPACTWRESTLING/status/1491838123269136384 Still laughing at Morrissey dispatching the whole 8-member Learning Tree team by himself those couple weeks back. You can't teach that. https://twitter.com/IMPACTWRESTLING/status/1491879652868046860 https://twitter.com/IMPACTWRESTLING/status/1491894751028674561 https://twitter.com/IMPACTWRESTLING/status/1491471961855303688 https://twitter.com/IMPACTWRESTLING/status/1491909850036457473

The Learning Tree contains Zicky Dice being taught how to be a jobber by "100 match losing streak Curt Hawkins" Brian Myers, which should be all you need to know about it.
