Impact thread for December 8, 2022 - Josh Alexander to address the fans, Heath/Rhino vs. MCMG for tag titles, Taya, Trey, more

Bateman should have won the first year he was on it.

That was season 4... won by Fandango

 

[Smart Marx]

He does look bigger both muscle wise and also slightly with a gut but he's 42 so it's fine lol

Big muscle hoss with a belly never hurts.

I can't believe how much of a Steve fan I've become

 

[Leon TrotSky]

Not even Fandango

Visual pun master Johnny Curtis

He's one of those guys you just can't hate because he's a company guy

I loved that era Johnny Curtis but I thought Bateman was gonna win too, I was pretty happy either way tho

I know. I like Dango, but EC3 was insanely ahead.

Maybe not anymore, but it amazes me no one saw his potential back in those days and then squandered him when he came back. EC3 had all the tools to be a top guy.

I love when Scott talked about how they pivoted to push Decay more when they returned to live crowds after the pandemic and they were way more over than anyone expected lol

 

[Leon TrotSky]

Honestly Bateman never had it until he left the WWE system

I was a big Derrick Bateman guy, it was so weird how he was used then. Impact run felt like it validated my opinions lol

Open challenge what the fuck
