It’s time for No Surrender, and for Dave to ask What’s the Worst That Could Happen? for tonight’s edition of Impact Wrestling
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was this Thursday’s Impact Wrestling. Seriously. There were some TERRIBLE segments. And a surprisingly good one or two.
Above all, this match felt like a real main event. Wrestlers in a top storyline were fighting with something meaningful on the line, and they delivered a match of worthy length that told a story that, even with many bells and whistles, was easy for the crowd to get behind.
AJ Styles’ contract ends next month. TNA, er, sorry, Impact Wrestling isn’t too keen on resigning him. That makes Andy Angry.
Tomorrow, TNA presents the annual Hardcore Justice edition of Impact Wrestling. Which means it’s time for Dave to ask: What’s the Worst That Could Happen?
This week’s edition of Impact Wrestling is the final episode before TNA presents a World Heavyweight Title match on August 15th’s Hardcore Justice.
TNA put their World Heavyweight Champion on TV at the end of their first hour, then main evented two guys in a tournament to become number one contender. Huh.
After building last week’s edition of Impact Wrestling around a World Heavyweight Title change, TNA goes into this week promising to resolve another title situation by introducing a new X-Division Champion. Along with the surefire title change, TNA is advertising a big time Bound for Glory Series matchup between A.J. Styles and Jeff Hardy along with two other BFG series contests.
Segment 1: Main Event Mafia + Aces & Eights Promos Positives: Nobody got hurt. Negatives: I’ll be honest, I barely remember anything about this segment…
