Impact thread for July 3, 2025 - Masha vs. Kelly in a Chain Match, N Nemeth vs. Trey, Something vs. Mance, Cardona, IInspiration

Nah, Santana is definitely pinning trick. We’re doing the triple thread just because we’ve already done trick versus the other two in one and one matches and you do not wanna do a rematch when it’s your biggest pay-per-view of the year. It’s one thing if you’re like John Cena and Cody Rhodes, but when the whole storyline is gotta get the Belt back for TNA you really don’t wanna rest the hope on one person that’s lost to trick. It’s now gonna be on two people. They’ve lost to trick so you get Two TNA guys versus the one evil bad guy from the WWE. Plus you have Joe and Santana both currently beefing over Joe being the one who lost the belt in the first place so it’s just really good storytelling.

Hopefully yeah. Cause Santana beating Trick is the right story to tell. Then can lead to Santana vs Hendry.

Lish is so great she’s trying to inspire Matt to step up and get a ring of his own.

I’ve not seen these guys yet, but that’s a very cool entrance here for I assume it’s dark State I think.

 

[O-Blaze]

He is. He’s also helping Eddie train.

Like I sympathize with him in the sense that I get liking the paycheck, but if Tony doesn’t see anything in you to put you on TV as a single star that paycheck is gonna eventually run out and then he’s not gonna renew your contract. Him not sticking with Santana when Santana wanted to take their tag team elsewhere was the biggest mistake of his career.

Thankfully he at least getting to work other places on the indies. So that's extra money. But if Ortiz wants out, Tony definitely should let him out.

Dark State is a cool name. Doing the Sheild stuff is fine because nothing in wrestling is original but you probably shouldn’t use basically the exact same masks that they did though lol

I use to dress my GTA Online character in the mask, the vest, and the pants and everything.

No, that was the problem. Ortiz doesn’t want out. Santana asked Ortiz to leave with him and Ortiz decided to stay. Santana contrary to popular opinion didn’t leave to be a singles star. He just wanted the tag team to go somewhere that it was gonna get booked better because no offense, but Tony didn’t know how to use LAX. Ortiz liked the money that AEW was giving him so he refused to go with Santana.

 

[Switchblake]

Much as I love, moose, Leon winning the exhibition championship is the only way to go.

 

[Switchblake]

Yeah, between this match the triple threat main event, Indi and Tessa, Cedric and Ali. This is definitely the best pay-per-view for TNA in ages.

 

[Switchblake]

I didn’t know anything about Slater’s backstory so this is a really well done and well executed video package. I was already behind Slater winning here but now it’s like a forgone conclusion he has to win.

Oh I agree they wasn't booked properly. But if Ortiz is fine with it, it is what it is. He probably feel different if he couldn't take other bookings.

 

[Switchblake]

While, I originally thought he was going to join the system. I definitely knew the storyline only made sense if the payoff still involved the system in someway so him taking the X championship from moose is the perfect way to wrap up the storyline.

Oh for sure it is but what I’m saying is it’s gonna be a mistake for him and his career because Tony is not gonna renew that contract so yeah it was nice getting that pay but then what are you gonna do when you’re a singles star out of work and nobody wants you because nobody has any value you as a singles star?

 

[Switchblake]

I think it’s time to pull the trigger on something. If they can get him and Mac for the international championship at slam anniversary that would make it the perfect pay-per-view.

Jesus SDL in that business casual school girl fusion cosplay whatever the fuck she’s doing here I like it.
