mavericks owner bought them? you shitting me

Word is they are in talks to move to AXS. Cuban wants a stake if not complete ownership.

why? i know hes eccentric and all but just because?

Mixed feelings.

Thumbs up: I want Swann to beat Jhonny Impcat and Rosemary to overcome the odds. Moo$e as the fourth coming of the Nature Boy has won me over so I guess I'm on his side against RVD.

Thumbs in the middle: LAX vs. Rascalz. It will be athletic but I don't care who wins. Kross/Edwards doesn't do anything for me either.

Thumbs down: Cage and Elgin are both dicks so hopefully they both lose. Ditto for Blanchard/Callihan.

I honestly don’t know. A lot of this came from the Voices of Wrestling podcast and related news posts. Apparently the plan was for them to move after Slammiversary, but there is negotiations slowing it down, rumoured to be investment deal. Impact would move to saturdays with NJPW bumped to Sunday.
NJPW would only be willing to work with Impact again if AXS own them outright is what started the rumours.
Makes sense if you think about it. Network owns the show going forward, the back catalogue, and can monetise it anyway they wish. 15 years of content fills a lot of dead TV time.

The HW scene has sucked for a while. I love Johnny but had no interest in Aries or these two roid shitters. Ones a manlet and the other works like a cruiserweight. Hopefully they elevate Kross and Big money Moose soon. He could be working, but Moose seems like he truly gives af about Impact and it’s future.

is all this happening because aew stirring up the water you think?

I honestly don’t know. My personal opinion is it’s a content grab. With the rise of streaming services and cable cutting. Networks are looking for cheap to produce content, they can then diversify online. Could mean nothing growth wise much like Sinclair owning ROH.

>cable cutting
if one wanted every thing cable had with streaming services, it costs even more since everyone is stock piling their movies and putting shows behind pay walls even on demand now at least with verizon. gotta pay to watch an old episode of anything prime time if it;s weeks old. and they wonder why i pirate!

Nigger I just have Netflix, Impact & WWE (both of which I split costs and login with a bro). Cable cutting only works if you aren’t retarded. The point is AXS could still draw dimes from wrestling fans who don’t want to pay for cable. I haven’t watched Impact on TV in 2 years.
>In b4 neither has anyone else

so you dont watch prime time anything? no actual sports? and if you split the costs of 3 streaming services...say no more

I’m a bong. Netflix is like £8. I pay for Impact, bro pays for WWE. I will watch random footy/sport at a friends or in the pub. Go to the stadium for team I support, but they are complete shitters who just got relegated so will be going less often this season

>A lot of this came from the Voices of Wrestling podcast and related news posts.
This sounds like a load of bullshit, are you sure this comes from VOW and not DiscussPW? Are you Chris Regal?

>Impact would move to saturdays with NJPW bumped to Sunday.
Moving a well established brand like NJPW for a toxic brand brand that drew less than 10k viewers on Twitch doesn't make any fucking sense.

>NJPW would only be willing to work with Impact again if AXS own them outright is what started the rumours.
Another fucking bullshit, NJPW is loyal to ROH and if they are dropping ROH for anyone, it will be for AEW who is on a bigger platform with bigger stars. There is also the problem with Impact using AAA talents when NJPW has a working relationship with CMLL.

>Network owns the show going forward, the back catalogue, and can monetise it anyway they wish. 15 years of content fills a lot of dead TV time.
Another fucking ridiculous bullshit statement. How many people are watching Impact re runs on Twitch, Pluto TV or Impact plus? TV network aren't putting re runs of years old Impact show, that is already available for FREE on multiple platforms, when they can make more money putting old re runs of what ever the fuck instead of a first airing of an Impact show.

>Networks are looking for cheap to produce content, they can then diversify online.
It's not about getting cheap content, it's about putting something advertisers want to pay air time for. I can tell you AEW is struggling to get advertisers because Meltzer is currently running a hype propaganda for AEW. He literally mentioned AEW 80% of the time on Twitter, WWE didn't mentioned Saudi Arabia more than a few times and they are getting paid half a billion $ in 10 years.

fightful.com/wrestling/report-impact-wrestling-and-axs-negotiating-tv-deal

Boiling?

Jaaaysus, you chimpactzees are a delusional bunch and desperately grasping at straws.

where the fuck does it say on the article that Impact will be on Sat and NJPW will get bump to Sun?

>Even though AXS will be home to Impact, it doesn't look like a potential partnership with New Japan Pro Wrestling is on the horizon. Fightful spoke to three sources within NJPW who said that it's very unlikely unless AXS actually acquires the whole promotion,
This doesn't actually mean "NJPW would only be willing to work with Impact again if AXS own them outright"

And where the fuck does it say AXS are investing in Impact or buying the promotion outright? Who is to say NJPW wouldn't make AXS TV choose between NJPW and Impact? With the success of AEW, who is to say NJPW isn't going to TNT or ESPN plus or Showtime who were interested in AEW?

Cope?

Because no average Joe red blooded American is tuning into watch a bunch of insect looking Japs play fight. Impact would be blocked with the American woman’s fed serving as the lead in. NJPW draws a niche audience of sexually stunted weebs. Impact has the potential to appeal to a larger, native audience.
People like to be able to relate to the characters they see on TV. Face it NuJapanetty and it’s western expansion is over. And no amount of gripping your body pillow, weeping “say it ain’t so” is going to change that. Have sex.

>Face it NuJapanetty and it’s western expansion is over
he has the high ground user, once omega left and AEW became a thing, it's over. sadly there only hope is a cross promo with wwe

NJPW had sold more tickets for their upcoming Dallas show than Impact had this entire year combined.

>Impact has the potential to appeal to a larger, native audience.
Impact can't even appeal to gaming nerds or even outdraw a cam girl doing asmr 98% of the time on Twitch. Impact can't even appeal to the large and obese american rednecks on the Pursuit channel.

y'all got to stop smoking crack.

>Raw, the G1 and Slammiversary all in the same week
Feels good to be a Dallas Chad

Any network that missed out on AEW is going to be looking for another US based promotion. If a brand is to be successful it needs to be accessible. NJPW do a few shows a year. Whilst a US promotion can be in a different town every week. And as for Impacts bad reputation, that exists in the insular mark bubble. If wrestling is to be successful it will be new fans that make it. Not the 2-3 million who watch rn.

Beggin ya to take a moment away from the internet and experience some life.

i honestly didn't know impact was thing and thought it was long dead after styles, joe and pretty much everyone else left it. whats wrong with njpw teaming up with wwe?

>Any network that missed out on AEW is going to be looking for another US based promotion.
Why Impact instead of MLW or EVOLVE or AIW or AAW or Beyond or GCW or SHINE or Lucha Underground?

>If a brand is to be successful it needs to be accessible. NJPW do a few shows a year. Whilst a US promotion can be in a different town every week.
The fuck are you talking about? why would a TV network care whether a US promotion is in a different town every week? Impact were literally taping their shows in a sound stage of an amusement park and now they are fucking taping in a night club or a ballroom. I'm not talking about Impact's bad reputation but their lack of buzz and how uncool they are among the existing fans and their inability to attract new fans no matter how hard they fucking try.

Cope better not harder

Because part of drawing fans is being an attraction. Believe it or not, families and people who don’t religiously watch wrestling, attend local shows. And if they enjoy it, they are more likely to tune in.
As for your what about muh other Indy’s. AXS is interested in impact.

I want Taya to win because she's over af with Mexican chads like me, but I also want Rosemary to win because she's a thick big titty goth, so I'm confused.

Don't care about coal burner Su Yung, or Havok.

You think Havoc is here to stay? Or just a cup of coffee in the big time?

I think she's here to stay because they need to find someone to replace Scarlett, but let's be honest, they'll never find anyone as over as Scarlett.

I thought they might bring in RVD’s bimbo.

What's the deal with Impact in the UK? which platform are you paying into?

Preview

>Cage vs Elgin
Looking forward but it's going to be interested to see how two guys with the same styles can work with each other It's either going to be a awesome or a shit show.

>Tessa vs Sami
kinda moderately hyped for this, I'm guessing there's gonna be a gruesome spot like when Pentagon drove a spike into Sami's head last year

>Rosemary vs Havok vs Su Yung vs Taya
This match is gonna be ugly with hot girls. If they aren't planning on doing some wacky pretaped shit, they need to keep this short and sweet

>Impact vs Swann
Could be a showstealer. Swann has been on form

>LAX vs Rascals
Again another potential showstealer. I hope that they get to keep it in the ring mostly and don't lose psychology alltogether.

>RVD vs Moose
kinda meh, hope for shenanigans

>Killer Kross vs Eddie Edwards
I can't remember the last time Eddie had a singles PPV match. He's a personal favourite, so I look forward to this. Kross, even if he's on his way out should look at this match as an opportunity to impress onlookers.


Good card overall, lots of variety here. low key hyped

ImpactPlus, it’s less than a tenner. Get the episode morning after broadcast. Can watch it on one of the free to broadcast channels and through their app as well.

how does anyone feel about Impact going so heavy on intergender feuds?
i have mixed feelings about the whole thing
one one hand we have Disco inferno being the most entertaining he's been in years, Tessa proving that she's good enough to be believable against smaller size guys and a the company has had more buzz as a result, but on the other hand we have Scarlett going from being a thot doing lapdances and shit to le empowered female and all feuds being about how men feel they're superior and yadda yadda instead of building actual storylines
i dunno, i'm not against the idea but they should tone it down

Attached: tessa-blanchard-16.jpg (1200x675, 50K)

Unpopular opinion, but I love them. I think as long as both opponents have chemistry, it looks good.

Both Tessa and Sami have a lot of experience doing intergender matches in the indies, so I think they'll put on a good match for tv.

Attached: Tessa1.webm (640x360, 1.41M)

If they do it right and build Tessa to the women’s championship and have her go a long reign. It will make whoever eventually beats her. But I don’t want to see intergender every week.

i too live the idea, and i'm positive that sami vs tessa will kick ass since the match she had with jake crist was a jem on its own, i just find the feud so corny and unnatural

I mean DDT just did an intergender show (All Out vs Sendai) and it was amazing, so I have no problem

It's overbooking to try getting some attention, and I'm not sure why they bothered doing it while their platform is so horrible. As you've noted, the storylines aren't very good and apart from Disco the characters haven't been either. (Face Tessa is just Heel Tessa wrestling heels, so it's hard to pull for her.)

>(Face Tessa is just Heel Tessa wrestling heels, so it's hard to pull for her.)
what's so heelish about her current character tho? not all babyfaces need to be white meat superheroes and she's acting her part just fine imo

??? most of your post is just rumors. nobody said mark cuban wants a stake or buying the company and anthem is not looking to sell, Impact and it's library is one of the cores of Fight Network.

Slammiversary is looking good just like last year. Historically, this show has always been better than Bound for Glory so I'm a little hyped because the card looks fantastic.

A lot of shit in Dallas. Axs deal must happen soon. Not that I care since twitch is better for me but at least axs will pay them.

It’s rarely ever more than rumour with wrestling is it. But the line about NJPW is rather leading.

Watching Slammiversary 2008 now. Wish Impact still got crowds like this lads

they got +2000 seats for this edition it seems
but yeah if you talk about the enthusiasm and not the capacity i don't think we'll ever see a crowd like the one of the impact zone
at least in the us
tragic indeed

This was in Memphis bro. Rowdy rednecks going wild. 2000 is a good crowd I wasn’t expecting that number.

>they got +2000 seats for this edition it seems
but Meltzer said the arena's capacity is "a couple of hundreds"

Floor plans change

no he didn't
you see for yourself that there's 400+ places for the premium tickets alone

You have no idea what the TV networks are willing to spend. AEW supposedly got a $400k budget for a 2 hour live show each week. Are you actually saying LU cost more than Impact to produce? for something that is taped a year in advance within a month or two?

>so? still is proves his point
No it fucking doesn't, he claimed that Impact is a promotion that go tour different towns weekly. They are not, they have the same nightclub and ballrooms that they interchange.

>i'm pretty sure that has a lot more to do with being in a terrible network, do you think WWE would still be able to tour 4 times a week if they went on pop tv?
AEW sold out 3 10ks venues, what TV channel are they currently on?

is the TV network paying Impact or is Impact paying for air time?

>what makes you think AXS TV is looking for a new 2 hours of wrestling?
it's actually looking for more, they're trying to create a whole wrestling block
>How long is NJPW on AXS TV?
who the fuck cares, why does it matter?

>Yeah cause Impact is known for it's high quality production
it... is? camera work, backstage skits and stage are above average for your tipical wrestling show, its just the live stuff that's lacking

>You have no idea what the TV networks are willing to spend.
you don't either
>AEW supposedly got a $400k budget for a 2 hour live show each week.
"supposedly", and even if that was the case what has that to do with what i just said?

>Are you actually saying LU cost more than Impact to produce? for something that is taped a year in advance within a month or two?
you're conveniently forgetting the high quality skits, with costumes, set, camera angles, that are basically on par with a normal tv show, that shit costs A LOT
also the fact that they did the tapings in 2 months means shit, impact does 4 episodes per taping, it takes one day, but its still expensive to film one to begin with, no matter the company

>No it fucking doesn't, he claimed that Impact is a promotion that go tour different towns weekly. They are not, they have the same nightclub and ballrooms that they interchange.
they actually have quite the variety of venues to go to, maybe not every week, but they do change places at every two taping nights, plus the live events

>AEW sold out 3 10ks venues, what TV channel are they currently on?
let's see if thet can do it every week

>Meltzer was saying Showtime was interested in AEW and was offering more money than TNT but AEW thought TNT was the better fit in terms of visibility.

Don't worry I'll do a Chris Regal when Impact actually got paid to be on AXS TV.

>it's actually looking for more, they're trying to create a whole wrestling block
source? that is not from your asshole.

>it... is? camera work, backstage skits and stage are above average for your tipical wrestling show,
If that was true more people would be watching since WWE is trash and Impact is available for FREE on Twitch where if you have internet you can watch Impact but even then Impact struggled to break 10k viewers. And it's not better than LU is it?

>"supposedly", and even if that was the case what has that to do with what i just said?
You said LU is too expensive to produce, I'm saying you don't know how much the TV network is willing to spend. I doubt a taped episode of LU cost more than $400k to produce.

>you're conveniently forgetting the high quality skits, with costumes, set, camera angles, that are basically on par with a normal tv show, that shit costs A LOT
But LU doesn't tour, they just rent a warehouse for a month, the wrestlers provide the costumes and the crew are mostly mexicans, last time I checked, tacos are cheaper than hotdogs.

The line about white meat shows that you know you're wrong. Contrast Tessa's turn to Rosemary's.

this is a comparison that makes no sense, it makes even less sense considering that impact is also showcased in 3 different other networks in america alone and in god knows how many other all over the world from uk, to india and dubai, the time slot is also a huge detractor fgrom the twitch views since most euros would be less able to see it

>You said LU is too expensive to produce, I'm saying you don't know how much the TV network is willing to spend.
an episode of LU will also be watched by way less people due to staying in a niche channel, my point is that comparing expenses for such different promotions makes no sense

>I doubt a taped episode of LU cost more than $400k to produce.
i dont remember ever saying they did, but they cost a lot more than what impact spends, which is what i said and that should be around 50.000 dollars since a whole taping costs around less a quarter of a milion and they also do xplosion stuff

>But LU doesn't tour, they just rent a warehouse for a month
for the wrestling, not for the skits, which are where most of the budget goes to

>so where do you get your news that AXS is paying Impact to air on their network from?
that's not the point i was making

This shitty samefagging is the worst way to dispense "facts" about Impact. Please stop.

Pursuit are paying impact. More than Pop was. Granted anthem own a share so they are probably just juggling money. So why would they leave for AXS for less money. Ignore this NuJapanlet, he’s just butthurt his niche Asian TV (that only he knows about and watches, because he is interesting like that) is going to get bumped for Chadpact after he spent the last 15 years posting everyday about their demise.

>he lost the argument so now he calls out "samefagging" on himself
that's certainly a new one
>So why would they leave for AXS for less money
how do we know that its less money?

I’m on the side of Impact here. They wouldn’t. It’s bad business. So AXS must be paying them more. It’s the weeb fag saying Impact will be paying AXS. That’s when he isn’t saying, they won’t be on AXS. Or that NJPW won’t be bumped to another night. which it will, ITS CALLED MERICAN RASSLIN FOR A REASON FAGGOT!!!

>It’s the weeb fag saying Impact will be paying AXS
oh wow i missed that part lmao
makes his point even more stupid

>from the axs site itself, with impact being there soon too
Strange, I don't see where it says AXS is interested in adding Impact on their network.

>this is a comparison that makes no sense, it makes even less sense considering that impact is also showcased in 3 different other networks in america alone and in god knows how many other all over the world from uk, to india and dubai, the time slot is also a huge detractor fgrom the twitch views since most euros would be less able to see it
what a bullshit argument, Twitch is available all over the world, but it struggled to get 10k people watching. The euros can't watch it because it's late but it's 10 am on a saturday in India, why aren't the Indians watching since Impact is more popular than WWE there? Stop making excuses for Impact struggling to attract new fans and viewers, you are just like a WWE drones.

>an episode of LU will also be watched by way less people due to staying in a niche channel,
what the fuck does this have to do with my point? when I'm saying AXS is better off picking up LU than Impact.

>i dont remember ever saying they did, but they cost a lot more than what impact spends,
cost of the show shouldn't matter, LU is a better show than Impact.

>mexico is full of super indies that draw thousands of people for every event, they would not have the same fraction of success doing the shows weekly
So how do you explain Impact struggling to draw 1k to their shows? last time I checked they don't do a show weekly. How's the ticket sales for Slammiversary going? Who sold more tickets than Impact, NJPW in Dallas or AEW in bumfuck Jacksonville?

This bitch is like an 8/10 with her makeup, but like a 4/10 with out. sad...

>Strange, I don't see where it says AXS is interested in adding Impact on their network.
that's not what you asked but ok

>why aren't the Indians watching since Impact is more popular than WWE there?
it's not, you made it up
also the average indian doesn't have an internet powerful enough to run a livestream
>Stop making excuses for Impact struggling to attract new fans and viewers, you are just like a WWE drones.
i mean, technically attendance has been improving and they're popular enough to get enough seats to run live events outside of tapings and ppvs, youtube subscriptions are also higher adding to that

>what the fuck does this have to do with my point? when I'm saying AXS is better off picking up LU than Impact.
they're not, for many reasons
1. its a hour show, when impact has two
2. its a seasonal show, meaning they can't fill a timeslot every week
3. LU can't sustain itself unless they get the kinda money you say AEW is supposedly getting, so AXS would have a dead show that's worth nothing to them

>cost of the show shouldn't matter, LU is a better show than Impact.
that can be argued, but it's not what we're discussing

>So how do you explain Impact struggling to draw 1k to their shows?
that's because super indies with top names that are showcased in CMLL and AAA and US shows that happen once every few months are not the same thing as a regular taping session

>How's the ticket sales for Slammiversary going?
they're almost sold out
>Who sold more tickets than Impact, NJPW in Dallas or AEW in bumfuck Jacksonville?
the one that comes to the US twice a year

Looks like Impact are running Bound For Glory in Chicago's Odeum Expo Center in October. The Odeum seats about five thousand for wrestling so this looks optimistic from Anthem.

>So why would they leave for AXS for less money.
It's called exposure, look it up sweetheart. You are saying Impact is unwilling to jump or pay for airtime to get on a TV network that is available to 50m people, in favor of staying in a channel, most people don't get, who couldn't be bothered to aired the entire episode of Impact or when they do aired the episode from last week?

looks like the slap nuts from discussPW came to play

>i mean, technically attendance has been improving and they're popular enough to get enough seats to run live events outside of tapings and ppvs, youtube subscriptions are also higher adding to that
Impact literally lost more than 200k viewers they have when they were on POP. Why the fuck aren't they watching on Twitch? You want to make another excuse that most american don't have internet and they have flip phones instead of smart phones?

>1. its a hour show, when impact has two
2. its a seasonal show, meaning they can't fill a timeslot every week
3. LU can't sustain itself unless they get the kinda money you say AEW is supposedly getting, so AXS would have a dead show that's worth nothing to them
AXS can always air a double episode re run of LU, or a re run of last week episode plus a new episode. We know AXS tv doesn't mind airing weeks if not months old NJPW.

>that's because super indies with top names that are showcased in CMLL and AAA and US shows that happen once every few months are not the same thing as a regular taping session
Impact doesn't use talents from AAA and US shows and taped once every month?

>It's called exposure, look it up sweetheart. You are saying Impact is unwilling to jump or pay for airtime to get on a TV network that is available to 50m people, in favor of staying in a channel, most people don't get, who couldn't be bothered to aired the entire episode of Impact or when they do aired the episode from last week?
oh, i'm positive callis is waking it two handed to the thought of losing the money impact made on pursuit only to go pay for "exposure"

>Impact literally lost more than 200k viewers
they lost like half of that but whatever
>they have when they were on POP. Why the fuck aren't they watching on Twitch? You want to make another excuse that most american don't have internet and they have flip phones instead of smart phones?
you're assuming that all the people who couldn't watch on pursuit should have jumped straight to twitch when there's plenty of other platforms such as youtube, impact plus and piracy
of course a fraction of the people that watched on pop wont be following anymore, but that's inevitable for every program that jumps network, be it wrestling or anything else

>AXS can always air a double episode re run of LU, or a re run of last week episode plus a new episode. We know AXS tv doesn't mind airing weeks if not months old NJPW.
playing reruns of a show that's broadcasted on AXS for the first time is not the same as doing so for a program that already aired there, and besides LU can't do it forever even if they wanted to, meanwhile New japan has programming that is virtually neverending as soon as the company is running things

>Impact doesn't use talents from AAA and US shows and taped once every month?
read again, TOP names
you think they would't fucking, i don't know, make rush vs cody rhodes or whatever if they could afford to do so?

>oh, i'm positive callis is waking it two handed to the thought of losing the money impact made on pursuit only to go pay for "exposure"
I don't know what is more ridiculous, thinking that Pursuit is paying Impact or Callis not counting the days when AEW will be on TV so he can quit and joined his bff Jericho and Omega .

>you're assuming that all the people who couldn't watch on pursuit should have jumped straight to twitch when there's plenty of other platforms such as youtube, impact plus and piracy
You don't think it's unreasonable to think that Impact will retain more than 10% of their viewers on POP when they moved else where especially when it's the greatest wrestling show on american soil?

so 2 guys are posting like crzy here.. geee get a grip have sex or hit the reddit.

>I don't know what is more ridiculous, thinking that Pursuit is paying Impact
they literally are, more than what POP paid
>or Callis not counting the days when AEW will be on TV so he can quit and joined his bff Jericho and Omega .
maybe, what would that change about what i said?

ah fuck i forgot to reply to the second part
>You don't think it's unreasonable to think that Impact will retain more than 10% of their viewers on POP
it is, and in fact, they did

>especially when it's the greatest wrestling show on american soil?
good to see we both agree impact is good

>they literally are, more than what POP paid
source?
>maybe, what would that change about what i said?
what's "waking it 2 handed"?

>it is, and in fact, they did
they did not since 10% of 250k is not less than 10k

>good to see we both agree impact is good
looks like the translator program you used can't detect sarcasm

I have no problem with intergender feuds, it's that the feuds are continually I'M THE MAN/HEEL AND WOMEN SUCK BOO ME which gets boring

>source?
ryan satin, pic related

>what's "waking it 2 handed"?
a typo
i'm sure you're smart enough to get it without any help, big boy

>they did not since 10% of 250k is not less than 10k
again, impact plus, subscriptions, piracy
you're only taking twitch numbers when there's so many other indicators of a show's audience
and that's without forgetting the fact that meltzer took the data that only 10.000 people watch impact on pursuit that so many people like to mention out of his ass and never posting any source himself

>looks like the translator program you used can't detect sarcasm
this is a very ironic response

Moose wondering why the guy who only talks about sending people to the hospital tried to send Brain Cage to the hospital.

If he keeps sending Cage to the hospital, how is he supposed to beat him for the title?

Not bad

– The WON has new details on Impact Wrestling’s possible TV deal with AXS TV. As previously reported, Impact has been talking with AXS about a new deal that would be an upgrade in comparison to their current deal with Pursuit. The site reports that AXS TV is in 54 million homes, a major improvement over Pursuit, which has drawn about 10,000 viewers an episode.

The site notes that the potential timeslots could include airing on Fridays as a lead-in for the channel’s MMA fights, or as a lead-in to NJPW in a four-hour block. AXS TV told the WON that “we don’t comment on rumors.”

oh wow, i have no idea who any of the people at Booker's promotion are, can they be trusted to put on a good match?

I think ROW is a school promotion so anyone who looks old is probably a decent hand. Ryan Davidson has been on the indies for ages so he should be able to do more than get carried. Terrale Tempo is probably bad but not worse than that. The internet doesn't know those women or that tag team so their matches are either going to be hilarious or miraculous.

oh well alright then
i'll probably try to give it a look, out of curiosity if anything else, there's just a couple of matches that i care about this night's g1

wasn't there supposed to be a pre-show here?
oh well, everyone's watching nj now so whatever

the stream is offline
jesus

Beauty vs the beast right now

The sound levels are awful. Just awful.

can't believe there's still around a 1000 people watching here considering the g1 is on lmao

classic impact twitch event

don't fucking tell me the tag title match is a fatal 4 way now
