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

[Smart Marx]

This match honestly makes me wonder why they had the system just drop the belts back to ABC when figuring this storyline would be perfect to see the Hardy boys get another tag title run.

Not that I don’t prefer ABC over the Hardy boys.

Did Jeff coming in completely kill the broken character again because this just seems like regular Matt now?

 

[Chris]

He just seems to alternate, maybe it's after a bump on the head

 

[Smart Marx]

JDC from that old school mentality of being several minutes into a heated tagteam match and deciding to just lock the guy in a rest hold.

 

[Chris]

I think he was trained by Killer Kowalski

 

[Smart Marx]

JDC yanking Matt through the ropes by his hair looks gnarly. I’m telling you always sleeping on his heel work.

I can see that. That’s a Trips special too.

Jeff slowing down a little bit. JDC had to intentionally position himself so he’d get hit by that whisper.

Moose jumped high af

 

[Smart Marx]

Holy shit you never see Moose doing anything high-risk let alone, climbing up the ropes and springing back. Shame he didn’t actually get to hit a move though.

Moose jumped high af

I’ve been a Moose fan a long time and I’ve never seen him leap that high. I really want to see him do some thing high-risk on pay-per-view, where he actually hits a move off it.

 

[Chris]

Fun match

 

[Smart Marx]

Jeff pinning JDC is no surprise. Good match though.

 

[Smart Marx]

Still don’t know why Santana cares about moose now that he’s not the world champion but I still wanna see that match on pay-per-view and I wanna see Santana go over and climb the ranks.

 

[Smart Marx]

NXT and TNA both believe.
