So just putting this out there, but I think that they should transition Josh into a manager role. He can obviously play the annoying manager role well and if he could get even a little bit of his heat on one of the wrestlers I think it'll do wonders.

So I've just completed my first episode of Impact Wrestling.

I'm assuming it's the April 20 episode, as it was when Karen Jarett announced the merger with GFW (which I only watched 5 mins of on YouTube once) and I have to say....

I honestly do not mind this show whatsoever.

Now I'm not sure if their television shows are meant to look a few years dated or if it was just the station it broadcasted on, but I like it. I love it.

The trashy characters. Like.

Edgy content such as that bride chick looking like a drunk dirty whore, and that James storm drinking beer. Like.

X Division. Like. And a guy with the name suicide. What? Like! You'd never see that on wwe anymore.

The way they portray things just feels so refreshing. And is almost a throwback to how wwe used to feel. It's great. They seem to be at a level that requires them to be risqué, yet keep it somewhat professional.



Overall I like this show and honestly considering replacing wwe.

While wwe is amazing in itself, it's legacy speaks for itself as well, Impact feels refreshing to me. And I'm a fan for the time being. We'll see where things go from here.

I believe Suicide actually started as a Videogame character in the TNA video game, you'd wrestle as Suicide before you go through plastic surgery and created your own guy.

One of the few characters that made the move from Game to Entertainment.

Mostly unrelated but a fun fact :p

Fun Fact in the game he was mo capped and voiced by Low Ki.

Also I'm loving the shows lately the Tag and X Divisions are getting some great guys in then.

This week's episode was actually pretty good. But... Josh Mathews...
:epicpalm:

Although seeing him get punched in the face was a good end to the show.

Yeah what's up with that whole thing? Do those 2 legitimately dislike each other or what?

While that guys voice can be annoying, I see him as a "miz" type character, just there to get under your skin.

OK and one more question, when do new episodes air, and on what station? I'm in Canada and caught an episode Sunday morning on Gametv
