Well, yeah, Supercard of Honor is coming up really soon.

That's why Impact Wrestling hired Steve Maclin - they're engaged.

Would've liked to see Speedball in the X match since they've been building to him in the division, but the Shelley match should still be really good.

I'm really happy Shelley is doing Impact dates again, he's so good. And yeah, match is gonna kick rear end and Bailey possibly getting a win could set him on a title match trajectory.

First batch of Philly tapings tonight, and it seems people had fun?! Wild, I know.

The ending segment last week was really unintentionally funny because Moose isn't a great actor. It was supposed to be this big threatening gesture toward Josh's family, but instead it just came off as a coworker showing up with a legit request to have his wife drop off some paperwork.

Something that occurs to me: Willow and Mercedes are fighting for the interim ROH title in Garland. on the same night Deonna is maybe defending the ROH title in Dallas. They're about 30 minutes apart. So depending on card position, either the new contender could show up on the Impact show, or the champ could show up after the title match on ROH.

One of the women involved in the Interim ROH Women's World Championship appears on Impact in a capacity, and that's all I'll say.

I'd say Ace Austin is going to be the man to take the World title from Josh Alexander, but I have no idea when that would be and hope it's not until 2023.

PWInsider posted:

Last night after the PPV went off the air, The Briscoes noted they weren't happy with losing to The Good Brothers and will be back. Impact Wrestling fully intends to bring Jay and Mark Briscoe back and would like to use them as regulars if possible.

Impact is also intending to use Taya Valkyrie regularly going forward. There is no word yet if that means her husband, John Hennigan, will also be coming in.

Signing the Briscoes would be a good get for their tag division, and it doesn't look like they've got any other notable suitors.

I think it's safe to assume we'll see Johnny Impact return, since he and Taya seem to always try to get hired as a package deal. He'd be a really interesting addition to the top of the card.

Briscoes would also really heat up the tag scene, but it'd suck if they weren't going to stick around in the ROH relaunch - if anyone can be considered ROH lifers, it's them.

It's also really weird for Tony Khan to basically say 'yeah, the Briscoes basically drew half the house and a ton of PPV buys' and not want to keep them around? But the post-match angle sure as poo poo made it seem like that's the idea.

This goes for more than just the Briscoes, but with the way independent contracts work, it's probably not because TK didn't want them. They most likely already signed deals elsewhere in that grey period after ROH announced it was shutting down and Sinclair paid out the rest of their contracts, but they still had a standing booking for Supercard. TK buying it came later, so anyone who had already split would just have the one PPV date and then go fulfill their contracts in whatever fed they landed in.

Had the negotiations been public before Sinclair released everyone in December, TK would've been able to simply buy out the whole roster's contracts too. Instead we're seeing people dispersed into Impact, GCW, AAA, and wherever else. Most of those places don't preclude them from doing dates for AEW/ROH here and there, but it wouldn't be definite until things fall into place more.

From what I've read, TK would hire The Briscoes in a heartbeat, but Warner are fully aware of their past tweets and don't want the PR headache so have stopped the signing happening.

That's why The Briscoes recently tweeted about regretting their past comments and how they don't believe what they once said. It seems it wasn't enough for Warner though, but time will tell.

Counterpoint, nearly a decade of PWG commentary from Excalibur, Scorpio Sky's past tweets, probably plenty others.

In an update, Fightful Select reports that a person of influence at WarnerMedia did not want Mark Briscoe and Jay Briscoe signed to AEW, due to Jay’s homophobic tweets from 2013. Jay ended up apologizing for those tweets shortly after he made them, at a ROH show.

FWIW people outside of Warner have been saying the Briscoes changed https://www.wrestlinginc.com/news/2022/03/top-independent-pro-wrestling-drag-queen-comments-on-viral-photo-with-the-briscoes/

I think there is a legitimate difference between using slurs and threatening violence based on that kind of hatred.
