Nick Nemeth is in TNA! Great signing 👏 👌
Dana Brooke is as well. A bit underwhelming, but they have a solid Knockouts division with Jordynne Grace at the top that is full of potential talent.

Many of the matches ended too quickly to me. That happens when you have so many on the card. Some unnecessary especially the 6 man which was hard to watch.

What stood out to me was the triple threat X division match, the 8 man tag and the Knockouts title match. Not to mention a solid match between Hammerstone and Alexander for the time it got.

Giselle Shaw won the Ultimate X match. I thought it was going to Dani Luna to be honest.

I dont want to spoil anything else for those wanting to watch it. It was a good (not great imo) PPV that I'm glad that I got to check out.

I plan to start watching the weekly show more regularly. I'm curious to see what TNA looks like now.

Also watching the weekly NJPW show on AXS. They're basically showing Wrestle Kingdom 2 or 3 matches at a time right now.

Up late watching Collision

Lee Moriarty with the sizzle reel to start the evening. More youth movement.

Everytime someone calls the move Dutch did tonight a "Bossman Slam" I twitch a little. My head cannon says "Black Hole Slam". There's no logical reason for it. The Big Bossman certainly did it before Abyss. I just like the name better. I know, I know, my "TNA fanboy" is showing.

Good match from Dustin. Dude can still go. Glad he walked back retirement.

Purrazzo puts on a great submission, and Velvet is very flexible. Excellent debut for The Virtuosa.

Good form to Tony, giving Hook a squash match vs a hoss of a jobber before fighting Joe. Should help folks suspend disbelief little.

Black should have danced @#$% it.
Also... The House and FTR with Garcia can just keep feuding. I want a best of 5.

Now for Battle of the Belts

Several great calls from the announce team during the street fight. Extra kudos on the Howard Finkle reference. Talk about a deep cut.

Julia Hart is still looking good. Anna Jay would look good in black....

Preston Vance reminds me of The Patriot every time he does that missle shoulder block from the middle rope. (That's my deep cut for the night).

Good point on Anna Jay.

I was watching that thinking how good a job they’ve done using HoB to turn Julia into something totally different and truly launching her career. Shes not that far removed from being a damn cheerleader. If we get Black Skye and “Anna”, it could go a long way for both of them.

And im not usually a goth wrestler fan. But they have a good women’s division but it could use some variation and this seems to work.

I got around to watching NXT tonight for the first time in a little while so it was interesting to me. They were having the Dusty Cup which is tag tournament with the winner getting a tag title shot.

It's definitely a show you want to check out if you want to see younger talent showcased on a regular basis especially the women.

The main event was a 20 woman battle Royal which turned into a fatal four way with the final four. I liked the concept and match as a whole. Roxanne Perez won and will be facing the Women's champ Lyra Valkayrie at Vengeance Day.

I'll be DVRing it a little more as I enjoyed this week definitely a lot than I have with RAW.

Good Dynamite tonight. Wasn't expecting the title change.

I feel like AEW has really tightened things up since World's End. The frequency of production errors has decreased and things seem to be running smoother. Hopefully they can keep it going.

I also liked to tribute to Jay Briscoe. I would love to see Mark get a run(even if it's short) with maybe the TNT belt.

That makes twice now she has made me absolutely lose it laughing so hard watching by myself. “…and sock you right in the box!” had me in tears. I’m still laughing just retyping it.

I really hope Mark gets some kind of run. He’s genuinely doing great with the stuff they’ve given him.

I bought it the day it came out, played for a few days and haven't touched it since. Not enough to do on it, got boring.

I never got around to playing it myself. I like the WWE 2K games for the most part. I usually only play universe mode to book my own shows and wrestlers. I might check out Fight Forever eventually if they add some stuff to it.

Man,what a first show back for TNA from pretty much start to finish. Xia Brookside and Tasha Steelz had a good match to start. They seem to be focusing on the new young talent which they have a lot of in the Knockouts division.

Pardon the pun,but Jake Something really is something and I could see him getting a big push soon as a homegrown talent.

It looks like Nemeths first challenge is Steve Maclin as he said he's going to earn a title match.

I saw that Okada is going to be joining the Motor City Machine Guns in a 6 man tag next week which is really cool. Jordynne Grace is facing Trinity in a rematch next week as well.

Ospreay/Alexander 2 was a great match. Both guys have great chemistry in the ring. A good match to check out. Scott D'amore cut an intense promo stating TNA is back. With this show,I'll look forward to this show on a weekly basis.
