Every time I give Impact Wrestling a chance, they drive me away. I have enjoyed the show a lot more since Josh Mathews lost his announce spot and this week’s show was ruined by his return. James Storm and Bobby Lashley had a very good match and all he did was yell and whine during the whole match, taking a lot away from it. What is wrong with them? Can’t they see that Josh is terrible?
I have to be honest, I felt the same way that you did. When Josh came out with Lashley I groaned as well. I don’t know what happened with him but over the course of the last year he has gotten really bad, like hurts my ears bad. If they want to make him a manager, fine, but putting him back at the announce desk really hurt the show for me this week. It hurt it a lot.
So do you think that all of the people that attacked JBL “for bullying Mauro Ranallo” will now do a mea culpa?
All? No way. There may be some people that say so but many will ignore what Ranallo said or come up with some alternative facts. Now with that said, I can’t definitively say that JBL didn’t factor into Ranallo leaving but I take Mauro at his word and he said it wasn’t the reason. So unless something else comes out, it will just be people trying to justify that they were “right and there is a conspiracy” or something like that.
I think it is a shame, and a bad move, to shove wrestling matches to the pre-show, just to put some junk music performances on WrestleMania. Even if it were good/real music, I still would think that that is a shame for the wrestlers involved. I know you probably won't print this, but I would still like to hear your opinion.
I think any match that is on the pre-show is deemed unimportant. They may not see it that way but many of the fans do and WWE should listen to those fans. As for the music, I don’t have a huge problem with that. WWE wants Mania day to be like the Super Bowl so they want music. That is fine. I would rather just see them run the card continuously. If that means starting at 6 pm ET just start then.
So in their first few weeks in charge of TNA, new ownership failed to re-sign the company's hottest act the Hardys, refused the Hardys' offer to drop the tag titles in the ring, got into a public legal battle with the Hardys that made the company look petty, failed in negotiations with Bubba Ray, bungled Del Rio's debut due to technical issues, already ruined his title win by having him give the belt back, and seemingly made two non-wrestlers (Josh Matthews vs. Karen Jarrett) the top feud. Has Anthem done anything right and why should I watch this dreck?
Well, they did partner up with AAA which may work out well but I hear you, it hasn’t been a great start for the new owners. Hopefully, they can turn that around.
How awesome is Chris Jericho? If anyone told me that in the year 2017 this can happen, I would've thought they've lost their mind.
On Raw last week one of the commentators said that Jericho has never been better. I couldn’t agree more. In and out of the ring he is still at the top of his game. His latest run has been a great one, it really has. He has done some of his best work ever.
