Impact thread for July 18, 2024 - Slammiversary go-home! Hardys vs. System for tag titles, NQCC vs. Rascalz & KUSHIDA

[Smart Marx]

This is just superb booking. First established speedball as a Dominant guy that goes five and oh in the gauntlet and then you bring out Aly to fuck his shit up and get that heat. So not only am I on board with the ball winning now I’m on board to see Ali lose.

 

[Smart Marx]

You can’t just remove a title match from the ballot. We’re gonna take this all the way up to the Supreme Court.

 

[Chris]

Verry intrigued how this goes tbh

Ali hasn’t been pinned or submitted since leaving WWE. He’s also had a slew of great matches in TNA and his character is awesome. He’s been built up huge and if Bailey beats him in his hometown of Montreal…it’s going to be a great moment.

It’s a near guarantee he will and it’ll be a top tier pop.

This is basically their tryout for a WWE retirement tour

 

[Smart Marx]

Totally is. I’d care more if they’d just be their old WWF characters and ditch the broken nonsense.

 

[Hidden Blaze]

Imagine they win lmao

The funny thing is that the original point of the broken Hardys was that Matt was all banged up and found a way to get even more over without taking many bumps for a long time. Now he’s even more banged up…is in the broken character…but he’s gone out and put his body through hell the last two TNA Plus specials. He’s reached the PCO part of his career where everything hurts and he’s going to give you everything he has anyway until he can’t I guess. I was stunned some of the stuff he did in his last two big matches at his age and condition.

Jeff honestly looks good

Jeff honestly looks good

Yeah, honestly surprises me how good he still looks actually. Maybe when Matt retires he’ll give it one last go as a singles guy.

 

[Smart Marx]

This is the second week in a row where they did a full break during a match for some reason.

 

[Smart Marx]

I take back what I said a couple posts ago because it does look like Matt is wearing his old black jeans for this tagteam match. Give it that all the hardy boys flavor.

just shorter on time vs what was taped of the did last backstage stuff I'd guess

 

[Smart Marx]

JDC once again earning his mother fucking stripes. Badge this man already.
