Impact Wrestling Has A Twitch Channel

You can find that here: https://www.twitch.tv/impactwrestling

A live streaming of original content and classic TNA Impact Global Force Gold programming for free? This may very well be the first smart move that this company has made in a good long time. I may even lose my mind and sign up to their Global Network thing one of these days.

I guess an addendum can be added to this post since the possibility of it being brought up by certain people exists, but no, I will not be watching the latest “new beginning” of Impact Wrestling when it premieres in February. Been there, done that, will not be burned again. However, there might be a chance that I’ll watch their upcoming PPV and gauge my interest there.

A very slim chance, of course.

The Sad Case Of TNA Impact Wrestling

Happy Holidays to all and stuff.

At the moment, I’m currently working on compiling the Winners And Losers of 2017 list and as I was gazing through the list, I spot an entry that has me stumped. See, the way this works is that I list said winners and losers (along with some “middle grounders” that fit neither category but deserve mention regardless) and I would add some brief thoughts. And when it came to this one entry, I had a difficult time coming up with a brief statement that would sum up this entry as a whole in 2017.

It got to a point where I started writing… and kept writing… and kept writing… until I had several paragraphs worth of text on screen. So for a list format, that’s too much… but for its own blog post, that’s perfectly fine. So here we are… talking about said entry that should be obvious from the post title and the image above.

On Second Thought…

I’m not touching Survivor Series in a write-up. To sum things up, the Brock Lesnar vs. AJ Styles was a far better match than I was expecting – certainly the best Brock Lesnar match in recent memory – and the rest of the show was a huge, colossal waste of time. I only caught the tail end of the show and that was pretty much all I needed to watch.

Certainly not helping was the overcrowded bickering announcers, who were bitching all night about whose show is better as if anyone is supposed to care about that kind of garbage. It’s almost as though WWE finally decided to respond to TNA’s attempt at ripping off heel Michael Cole with heel Josh Matthews by giving us a show with more wretched commentary.

So fuck that show. I’ll do the Wargames musings next week when all this Starrcade stuff is out of the way. And if they ever decide to upload that Brock vs. AJ match onto their Youtube channel down the line, I’d say give it a watch. AJ looked like someone who took it to the beast, Brock looked like he actually gave a shit for once, and the end result is a nice little battle between two champions… which will undoubtedly be rendered completely meaningless if AJ drops the belt back to the failed experiment that is Jindermahinder.

Everything Impact Touches Turns To Shit

Interesting article on Deadspin covering the Anthem era of TNA… and yes, I’m still calling it TNA. I don’t care what stupid name they have this week. It’ll always be TNA to me… and the only true positive there is to say about TNA that has always been a constant is that they’re still alive somehow. And believe me; at this point, that is the ONLY thing worth talking about.
