TECHNICAL MASTERPIECE? (Not this match) , X-Division On Fire! (No, Not really) | IMPACT! Highlights April 15, 2021
A three minute fifty one second highlight video of spot fest acrobatics that have no psychology or substance, "Selling" that's on the level of atrocious at best and Josh Alexander trying too many times to be Kurt Angle using the ankle lock and failing.
Mostly, it's your typical X Division match. A very LONG three minutes and fifty One seconds to say the least.
TJP's role is MLW seems to be better suited, than here in Impact.. Which would come as no surprise as this IS, Impact. Where Don Callis as a booker has been a failure, and the only one who can't seem to realized that is, Don Callis.
Instead of trying to present Josh Alexander as a poor imitation of Kurt Angle, why not just go and rehire Kurt Angle? Better to have the original than a bargain basement wannabe.
I guess Anthem doesn't wanna spend that kind of money and Alexander must come cheap, in comparison.
BUT, this is the booking 'brilliance' of Impact Wrestling (rolls eyes).
D'Lo Brown screaming "BOTH MEN ARE AMAZING" when they're clearly not, doesn't add a fucking thing to this, at all.
TJP doesn't connect with a dive off the ropes and what do we get? YET ANOTHER failed attempt at an ankle lock..
This is the point where someone in the back should be screaming "Give it a rest with the fucking ankle lock, it's too much and it's not working. Nor is it convincing after the seventh attempt at it, moron ".
Technical boredom is what this was, and here's the link so you can fall asleep to it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUzGaakNEMM
Matt Cardona Gets KNOCKED OUT, And Nobody Really Cares | IMPACT! Highlights April 15, 2021
Sami Callihan is so unconvincing in every way, I don't get why he's pushed so much here in Impact (other than, who else do they really have). He has that "Man there's got to be something better on, somewhere else" kind of feeling, every time I watch him.
A show of ECW from 1994 that I'll be watching after suffering thru this shit, WILL BE, the 'something better on, somewhere else" and that's sad.. That a show from 1994 will blow away anything that Impact has done over the last year, with ease. That says TONS about how bad this product is, and how much the bookers (Don Callkis and Scotty D'Amore) don't seem to care.
As long as they're getting paid, who cares how shitty it is, eh?
How many fucking clotheslines are they gonna do in this match? Way too many and the fact neither guy is willing to 'sell' the move? Makes using it kinda stupid at this point.
Remember when a clothesline was once considered a "deadly move"? These two obviously don't.
UUMMM, WHEN exactly was Matt Cardona 'knocked out'? After Sami got the three count Matt was STILL MOVING, DUMB ASS!
Last time I checked 'knocked out' meant you weren't moving, you were out cold.
Whoever titles these highlights really does need to get a clue, or at the least, try WATCHING the highlights all the way thru.
Then again that might be a concept that's over their head because that would involve something called logic. Which doesn't seem to exist anywhere in Impact Wrestling as I've been revealing week in, and week out, and will continue to do for weeks to come.
Here's the link to this yawner. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54N4DnmtC1M
Jazz's EMOTIONAL Retirement Ceremony Where She Wrestles Again. (Retirement Doesn't Mean Wrestle One More Match, Dimwits)- IMPACT! Highlights April 15, 2021
So the new thing in Impact is, if you lose a match where your career is on the like, you actually wrestle ONE MORE MATCH, after that?
Who's the fucking dumb ass who came up with THAT logic? Don Callis, who shouldn't be booking anything, anywhere? Or Scotty D'Amore, who had his own indie company and it wasn't really that good? Either way this kind of dumb assed logic is exactly one of the things that are wrong with Impact's product. And when Anthem Sports, the owners of Impact keep allowing guys who shouldn't be booking to keep booking? THIS, is the kind of shit you're gonna get, every week.
Of course you know, some Impact 'mark' is gonna SWEAR, this was 'brilliant' booking. (rolls eyes)
Fire and Flav are more examples of how the women of Impact 'sell' better than the men. Makes you go, HHMMM, why do the male wrestlers in Impact have so much trouble 'selling' moves?
Funny how nobody seems to have an answer to that, imagine that. :)
Guess the 'do the job and just retire' idea that goes with every stipulation like that that has ever been made, wasn't for Jazz. She just HAD to get a win somehow..
"Lose and just retire? That don't work for me brother, I need a win before I leave", LOL!
I love how she says "I'm announcing my retirement". DUH! You lost a match where the stipulation was, you lose, you retire, dipshit. So there's nothing to 'announce'. You announced the obvious.
Again, logic must be something of a mystery in Impact Wrestling. Because they sure the fuck don't seem to have any when it comes to booking and writing this product.
A logic editor would be Don Callis's and Scotty D'Amore's friend right about now.
When she appears on an indie show somewhere, how much you wanna bet she'll side step the fact she's 'retired'.. Again? LOL!
