Impact thread for August 22, 2024 - Hardys vs. System, Ultimate X qualifiers continue, return of Charlie Dempsey vs. Gresham

[Chris]

Rich Swann

 

[Smart Marx]

Yeah, absolutely. It’s not a dealbreaker anything. Just looks a little weird.

 

[Hidden Blaze]

Probably good Rich Swann didn’t qualify for the Ultimate X

 

[Chris]

He gets an X Division title match to go away with

Rich Swann

Disappointing, because I was finally enjoying him for once.

 

[Smart Marx]

Bound for glory, and that impact logo for the TV tapings afterwards both have the updated TNA logo as does the commentary table. So I think they’re slowly phasing out the old logo like when AEW transitioned to its updated logo.

 

[Chris]

This match is going great so far

 

[Smart Marx]

It’s wild to me that people were trying to tear down this partnership just because none of the people NXT sent over popped a rating like Kenny Omega did, but like no offense to AEW but they might not be sending over their biggest star, but they are sending him from what I can tell more stars on a more consistent basis. It’s been a NXT star on every taping thus far and every pay-per-view going both ways.

 

[Smart Marx]

I like this partnership mainly because I haven’t been able to watch too much NXT so I am watching and discovering guys like Charlie Dempsey almost exclusively through TNA and I am loving what I’m saying from this guy.

 

[Chris]

It's gonna be hilarious if they just never mention the WereOctopus again

 

[Smart Marx]

This guy reminds me a lot of Randy Orton in the way that he’s clearly learned a lot from his family but he’s also evolved beyond that.

 

[Smart Marx]

It's gonna be hilarious if they just never mention the WereOctopus again

I think we’d be better off.

Wait, I did miss one week a couple weeks back and I just realized he’s not wearing his mask. Did something happen to his mask on that episode? I didn’t see.

 

[Chris]

He just recently won the Heritage Cup for a second time

last week he said he had no memory of the last few months and was ready to return to TNA and came out normal
