Another match announced: Zicky/VSK vs. W. Morrissey

Amazing how Zicky will have miraculously recovered from his deathmatch with Evil Uno

I'd argue it never really wasn't good except for exactly Bound For Glory which pissed me off so much but it says a lot how quickly they won me back over afterwards:lol granted getting Suzuki/Josh soon after was a good way to go about it

BFG killed me ya. and also mb not a booking issue but the roster and stories felt pretty repetitive and flat for me after Kenny left. i like these new angles alot tho

You just can't have your biggest show of the year end in that much disappointment, next to impossible to recover from that in the internet world where people are gonna hear about that and also be more choosey on what they watch

oh also, while its great shes in the rumble and getting imact press, im also not super sold on mickie dethroning and beating virtusosa twice because i do feel were kind of already getting stuck in booking around other bookings as opposed to impact now

Tag division still sucks but it's more of an afterthought now and good bros aren't featured so heavily

I'm 100% sold on the fact that deonna was winning the rematch until the rumble stuff and that if I was in Impact's shoes I'd call the audible to have Mickie retain as well so I can't judge :lol

But yeah they have to book around other companies, have been since the forbidden door stuff started. Works out well mostly, ends up weird at other times (remember the Christopher Daniels return and then the AEW partnership ended? :lol)
