ROLL CALL OF CURRENT CHAMPIONS World Champion: Alex Shelly Well, we all saw that coming, didn't we? The shocking win at Against All Odds turned out to be no fluke, as Shelly became the only wrestler to keep his or her title at Slammiversary, defeating Nick Aldis. But wait, what's that? By God, it's the guy in my avatar! The Walking Weapon has returned, looking to reclaim the title he never lost. So, that should be good. World Tag Team Champions: Subculture Mark Andrews and Flash Morgan Webster have won gold again, this time in a promotion that actually exists! Why, I remember when they called him Mandrews for reasons I no longer remember. X Division Champion: Lio Rush Well, we all saw THIS coming as well, didn't we? The NJPW-signed wrestler pretty much murdered Chris Sabin in cold blood. Can his Time Machine mate KUSHIDA extract revenge? Knockouts World Champion: Trinity No, not the Trinity from 2003. The one who made Deonna Purrazzo tap, something that hadn't happened in the three years Purrazzo has been in Impact Wrestling. Knockouts World Tag Team Champions: Killer Kelly & Masha Slamovich  Digital Media Champion: Kenny King The reign of Joe Hendry is over, long live the King. With help from Sheldon Jean, who I guess was on Big Brother, Kenny King ends the longest reign in the belt's admittedly short history. NEXT PAY-PER-VIEW EVENT: Bound for Glory October 21, from Chicago. ALSO OF NOTE: Impact Wrestling x NJPW Multiverse United 2 August 20, from Philadelphia.

 Bobby Roo, followed Sting’s run in WWE in the exact same waySPEAKING OF WWE and Team Canada, Fightful reports that Eric Young had indeed signed there but demanded his release after Vince McMahon reassumed control. His 90-day no-compete clause ended in the past week.

I check the Impact YouTube channel to try to generally keep up with the product and stuff and the comments are wild. They're convinced Impact would be doing better business for WBD than AEW. Like I fully accept they do their thing these days but drat. Fervor never dies I guess.

I was thinking about going, I haven't been to 2300 for a wrestling show in forever (I think the last one was Chikara) but man, 60 dollars a ticket seems crazy.

I considered a trip to Vegas for the NJPW show but the cheapest tickets are $60 and the best ones are $300. There are still many, many tickets available if I change my mind. The last wrestling show I was at full stop was Chikara at the 2300 when Kimber Lee won the championship. At least two of the wrestlers I saw now have prominent roles in AEW!

Eric Young being unkillable because he's a concept rather than an actual human wrestler is totally on-brand for Impact campiness, and it's not even the weirdest thing they've done.

So is Eric Young now a dead man, like the undertaker, or does he just shuffle around like a reanimated corpse, like the undertaker?

They've already got one frankenstein and he's off TV at the moment. I think Eric Young is more like a Highlander.

I wish they'd gotten one more women's match on the card but overall I'm excited to be there. Like Edward Mass said below, there should be more wrestling shows that are done before 9pm.
