Impact Wrestling Co-Executive Vice President Scott D'Amore took to Twitter and fired a shot at WWE RAW this morning, while plugging the new working relationship between AEW and Impact.
But let's tell the truth here, since others like PWInsider, WrestlingInc and Meltzer won't do it. Shall we?
Mention the name "Impact Wrestling" and most fans start laughing. They know like I know, it's considered a 'joke' in wrestling when it comes to ahem, 'major wrestling companies'. Apparently the only person whom doesn't seem to realize this, or maybe doesn't WANT to realize it, is Mr. D'Amore.
"Back to back nights of great Pro Wrestling'? Where? I know there was a real solid wrestling show on Last night, and it sure as hell wasn't Impact, AEW or even WWE.. Oh that's right, it was the NWA's Shockwave show. Of course nobody wants to come out and admit THAT fact, right? Of course not. It's okay, I went ahead and did it for you.
Let's be serious, the only way Impact was able to secure a 'TV Deal' was having the owners of Impact, buy AXS TV, they had to BUY a network because no other network wanted them. Last week they barely had 150,000 people even watching them. And thaey rarely get that many. THAT, is how bad Impact's product is. And I've covered how bad it's been since D'Amore and Don Callis took over as bookers for Impact. Callis claimed that he was going to get rid of the 'silliness' that has plagued Impact Wrestling and doesn't Impact to be 'WWE Lite". But the fact is, He hasn't and every time he's been called out on how can he get rid of the 'silliness' if he's the one now writing and booking the silliness... Funny how he has no answer to that.
Examples? Proof? Besides the lame, weak "Murder investigation crap they recently did, I have plenty. Proof is, a motherfucker and I'm always the mother fucker that has proof, so here you go.
Here's the first one. https://billsbrandnewblog.blogspot.com/2018/11/article-i-just-wrote-ill-call-mind.html
Oh look, here's another one. https://billsbrandnewblog.blogspot.com/2020/02/the-silliness-that-don-callis-swore-hed.html
What? ANOTHER ONE? They just keep on coming, don't they. https://billsbrandnewblog.blogspot.com/2020/10/the-silliness-that-don-callis-claimed.html
Son of a bitch, here's yet another one.The most recent one actually. https://billsbrandnewblog.blogspot.com/2020/12/the-silliness-that-don-callis-claimed.html
So yeah why Impact is considered almost as much of a joke as Jeff Jarrett's Global Wrestling Federation was.. Oh wait, wasn't Impact part of THAT fiasco too? They sure were, LMAO!
Other than EC3 bouncing in and out "controlling his narrative", which actually seems to be getting over better, in Ring Of Honor mind you.. The only other talent they 'had', that had me kinda keeping track, is someone who isn't even there anymore and legitimately stole their world title and is living in Mexico- Tessa Blanchard.
But of course, the AEW fanboys, and the "Meltzer Marks" who think Kenny Omega is the be all and end all (when he really isn't) will be the only ones fawning over all this between AEW and Impact. I'm like most of the real fans out there, just yawning and waiting for some actual wrestling action to actually show up, on AEW or Impact.. or even WWE for that matter.
"Shift in power"? Yeah.. No.. Not really, nice try though Scottyboy, nice try.
Until AEW actually has some product that doesn't involve brawling all over the place in almost every match, that includes a very high level of 'no selling', and Impact actually stops with the well proven that the silliness is still plaguing them silliness, this 'working' agreement is gonna continue to be lame, and won't move the needle much in the long term.
The honest truth here, and no other wrestling writer has the balls to say it, so I will.. Is AEW and Impact, have people 'booking' their shows who have never booked a fucking thing in their life, and they actually think they're GOOD at it (which is laughable in so many ways, for so many reasons). It shows in the product and unfortunately marks today have no real clue on what IS good, and consider what Impact, AEW and WWE as 'good' when it's really? The shits.
So there's no 'shift in power' here, and four months from now when the product in both Impact and AEW still suck? You can go ahead and imagine me saying "I told you so", because I will indeed, be writing, that I told you so.
If you REALLY, want some great wrestling action, Reality Of Wrestling has been putting out a solid product for years, The recent United Wrestling Network stuff has been very good, Championship Wrestling From Hollywood, the last two NWA Shockwave shows.. Even Ring Of Honor's product, along with what I've already listed.. Has blown away anything and just about everything AEW, Impact and especially WWE have had to offer in months.
Truth hurts, especially when this writer has the balls to tell it. So you can thank me now, for telling it.
You're welcome :) .
