FTR said at one point that they weren't gonna get tied down to a company. Don't know if they just lied about that or if their deal with AEW is short-term, or somehow non-exclusive.

From what I read, they are just working on a handshake deal at the moment.

71 Pages of Comments for Slammiversary I appreciate everyone chiming in for the PPV. I will say this again all the thrills you guys had last night bring that same energy when I post Impact this Week please. Alot or returns and debuts and overall I liked Slammiversary, but I have questions on why they did this and that during the Show. The Motorcity Machine Guns returning to Impact is a great addition. I've always been a fan of both guys and when they got together it was a dream to watch those two work. I loved how they put over both guys especially Shelley someone who I feel doesn't get enough credit for his style and bringing it to a US audience. They worked well with the Rascalz after the feeling out process was through and the win was expected. The North vs MCMG will been a hell of a feud going forward and I expect it to go the MCMG way to feud with the Good Brothers later in the future.

Johnny Swinger stealing the Good Brothers Car and acting a fool is always a good watch. That old school handshake though had me dying he should of said park the Car for me Tux. Moose vs Dreamer thank goodness didn't go too long for my taste. A Brawl is what Dreamer needed to get the job done, but realistically this Match could of taken place during a Weekly Impact rather than the PPV. I did see the TNA World Title has been repainted anew and I'll have more thoughts on that later with the Main Event, but this was solid as Moose retains his TNA World Title he found on a Table.

I really was pulling for that Knockouts Gauntlet to kill and it did the opposite for me. Come on Impact did we really need Bravo dressing up as Taya and then Rosemary? It took away any kind of momentum you wanted to have for the girls involved in my opinion. Kylie Rae win was expected to me and she'll do great with Deonna in the future, but damn I can't remember a thing if I try to think and not bring up Bravo's involvement sheesh. Just after Health Slater trespasses on Impact and says he's ready to make an impact okay. Come back to me when you remember what is going on during the Show and let I'll listen to you.

I was really surprised Bey won the X-Division Title over Mack last night. Even more surprised Swinger didn't get involved as well as Swann, but hey congrats to Bey. Bey is something special and with the influx of new talent coming in he'll have plenty of options to feud with going forward. The Match itself was okay, I felt they left alot on the Table to use in an rematch, but still a quality Match between the two. I must say The North vs Shamrock/Callihan even with the ever so slow Shamrock was a good bout. Thank goodness for Sami being involved in this, but The North needed to square off with someone new and that is what we got. The MCMG got next coming this Week and I expect some shady ending, but still it will be The North's toughest challenge since LAX let's see how the Champs do vs TNA Legends.

Grace vs Purrazzo probably had the best Match of this PPV if you break it down. It was the Power from Grace vs The Technical Wizard during this bout. Deonna working that Arm using her strengths is something I wanna see. Grace is always going to be there for a battle and she looked good in a losing effort vs Deonna. Deonna was jobbing to later she had no business losing to, but then vs now is night and day. She's finally found herself when it comes to her personality and I'm happy as hell for her she deserves it.

The 5 Way that saw Swann and EY return I thought came off strong. Now personally Eddie Edwards is not winning the Impact World Title, but hey congrats to him. I thought once I saw who's in the fight that Ace Austin should of been the winner here. Now I'm only saying that because EC3 wasn't in the Match it would of been him for the win for me, but Austin to me was the smarter choice. Why not give your hottest talent the ball and see if runs with it. Edwards is a good guy and a good Wrestler, but he's holding that belt for EC3. At least with Austin you can have him go through all these guys in the Main Event and EC3 is the savior to win it, but at least by that time Ace's stock has risen. Edwards is going to feud with Moose who Moose had his best Matches with, then hopefully he loses to Ace, but where does that leave Edwards after that happens to him? If Edwards vs Austin happens again Alisha needs to do the job and join up with Ace. I mean kissing and all of that too go big or go home with it. I didn't really need the Good Brothers coming out to help Eddie, but hey that is just me. Another positive as well EY vs Swann happening so theirs that as well. So some good things and bad for me, but overall a good Main Event to watch. Three Title Changes and plenty of action people watch Impact more going forward.

Yeah it will be when it happens. EC3 I remember was the hot talent when Angle, Joe, Roode and even Sting among others were still there. I think EC3 if I remember correctly had a long Winning Streak and it was ended by I think Mike Bennett.
