BRUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

Crazy news to hear today for me being a huge fan of both companies and to think they are doing shows together is great to hear. The last time they streamed on Twitch they showed the LAX vs oVe Barbed Wire Massacre and that was fucking tasty, and this is the equivalent of Dairy Queen Blizzard at least for me. The possibilities and Matchups oh man I'm on Cloud Nine again. Wait does this mean we have to clone Impact so we can get Johnny Impact vs Johnny Mundo or it is a Batman/Bruce Wayne type of thing. Pentagon vs anyone on the Impact Roster I'm game and pretty please try to get Mil Muertes on these Shows please!​

This looks wild. I haven't watched either company consistently for a while but I think i'm gonna tune in to this. Add the fact it's being streamed on twitch, should be dope.
