Bound for Glory-Saturday, October 23rd, 2021-LIVE ON PPV

[Smart Marx]

um no, he cleaned out the entire division in one of the most dominant x division runs ever. he was built up like crazy. moose was an afterthought after he lost to kenny.

Being the most dominant x-division champion isn’t necessarily a build to the world title always, though.

We already agreed they fucked over Moose in his build.

 

[Chris]

They were building Josh to potentially challenge even when Kenny was still Champion

 

[Chris]

I actually expected title vs title for a minute before any option C stuff

 

[Smart Marx]

I did say I was maybe missing build, but I do think the payoff of him beating Moose is a better wrestling story than him defeating Christian. Maybe that’s just a non Impact fan perspective and that’s fair enough.

There's a lot of crazy parallells wirh him and Christian that they used in the build too, they're from the same fuckin street or something wild lmao

 

[Chris]

An eventual victory in Canada against Moose could be bigger for sure. It's just do i "wait and see" on that lol

 

[Smart Marx]

I will give it to Impact, at least they go all in with their Canadian hype stuff since being bought by Canadians.

 

[Smart Marx]

I’m probably fine waiting for it because I missed the Josh hype train, but I’ve been waiting for Moose’s run since whenever he made himself the TNA Champion.

They teased the unification match I want to say as early as when Tessa was still Impact Champion in March 2020? And honestly I think they ruined it not having Moose win the eventual unification match in 2021.

That all being said, I think Scott’s been a little better than Impact management of the past. He should still crown Josh sometime in 2022. If he’s smart I hope.

 

[Chris]

I think as a Moose fan you should personally be annoyed they gave you no indication of a chance that he walks out with the belt on screen lol he shoulda had the build Josh did if this was the plan

His push for over a year has been absolute trash.

I am quite disappointed that I had no clue that was a possibility when I heard about the show.

That said, I also didn’t know they had a Money in the Bank concept thing on the show, either. As long as someone holds one of those things, it’s a anytime deal.

WWE I think has done at least two same nights?

Kane and Alexa Bliss, right?

 

[Chris]

Yeah, last year Rhino won it and cashed in for a tag title shot like 6 months later so i wasn't really factoring in the possibility either lol

Bayley also I believe

 

[Chris]

There's been a few same night cash-ins in WWE, Dean did it too I think? I'd very much prefer the cash in concept stay in WWE (and only MITB too since they did it on NXT randomly recently) at this point this point tho lol it's getting so bastardized

 

[Kim Jong Umb]

Moose has the title idc how he got it he's been one of my favs on Impact for year besides moose fucking speared the guy took his world title in front of his kid and hot Asian wife (karl Anderson be jelly) Josh is awesome and it's great to see him flourish but now he can be built up as the top babyface

 

[Y2Jayne]

I gave it a quick look to see my girls, really happy for them, they have improved quite a bit from their last matches in WWE. Nothing stellar but they looked more than decent. As for the rest of the show, the company doesn't look like it's doing well. The production and the set looked pretty cheap and who the hell is that guy who beat Christian? Granted I had not watched Impact in years but he doesn't have the FOTC look imo. I guess it's another EY or Daniel Bryan story where the crowd made him so over they pushed him to the main event?
