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!
Here's the link if you wanna suffer thru this nonsense. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EV0RO2MKoHc

Havok vs Nevaeh: FULL MATCH (BTI April 15, 2021) | IMPACT Wrestling
When one of the commentators said "I think Nevaeh is gonna strike out on her own", boy was he right. On her own and right out of Impact Wrestling, LOL!
All that weight Havoc has and this is the best she can do when it comes to offensive blows?
And oh yeah, all these blows to each others faces and no blood, HHHMMMM. Guess the logic in that aspect is again lost in Impact Wrestling.
What's with the big smile on Nevaeh's face as she's being whipped from one corner to the next? Nothing like 'no selling' all the blows she's been receiving.
One good thing though, Havok 'sells' better than most of the male wrestlers on the Impact roster. Maybe they, should take notes on how to 'sell' by watching this match.
Other than that this reminds me why I'd be better off reviewing Ring Of Honor or MLW shows instead of this shit. At least with ROH and especially MLW. Their product is ten times better than this lame ass crap.
If you really want to sit thru this and have a cure for insomnia, here's the link.
Guess Spelling Correctly Doesn't Matter When Uploading Videos On YouTube
Get a load of this dumb shit.
You mean to tell me, that someone was so fucking lazy, that they couldn't take 30 seconds to get the correct spelling from Google?
Yep, as you can see. Someone was indeed, too fucking lazy.
The correct spelling is Windham, dumb ass.
The fact that someone actually thought this was correct amazes me, and what's even more amazing is that the person who did this? Is too fucking lazy to correct themselves.
Stupid is, stupid they always will be I guess.

WrestlingInc Columnist Is Definitely Wrong On This one
A writer at WrestlingInc made an ASSumption without really thinking it thru. So since he either doesn't see the big picture, or doesn't WANT to see the big picture.. It'll have to be up to me to show what the bigger picture is.
Here's the story I'm talking about.
It obviously DID help their situation because now they were able to get the fuck, out of the WWE. So that's one way the complaining helped.
The other way the complaining helped? NOW, they can go to another company and get the success that the WWE obviously wasn't able to give them because their creatively challenged creative department proved once again why, they are.. "Creatively challenged".
So when they debut somewhere else and get over better than they did in the WWE, everyone will be able to imagine me saying, "Hate to say I told you so, but yet again? I told you so".
Leave it to me to show the obvious bigger picture when other 'writers' insist on failing to see it.
You can go ahead and thank me now. :)

Mike Bennett Says AEW Never Reached Out Following WWE Release
In an appearance on The Shining Wizards Podcast, Mike Bennett talked about his recent return to Ring of Honor. The former WWE star signed a full time deal with the promotion this past week, and said that he is really happy with the current state of the ROH product.
“It’s really cool for me because I feel what Ring of Honor is doing and doing well is not trying to do too much,” Bennet said. “They have a main focus, and that main focus is, believe it or not, professional wrestling. We are focused on actual wrestling and then sprinkling in a few things here and there. It’s focused on pure wrestling, so you have the pure division. Then you got Rush as the world champion, so then you have luchador style up there mixed with the pure division mixed with strong style. It’s like a collection of every style of wrestling mixed into one, focused on the fact that all of this is pro wrestling.
“And then you can sprinkle in The Kingdom vs. The Righteous which is a little bit more entertainment side of professional wrestling. And then you have the new group of Violence Unlimited where you can sprinkle in the violent aspect of professional wrestling. But at the core, Ring of Honor right now is focusing on being professional wrestling, which is a sport.”
Crucial to ROH’s presentation, in Bennett’s mind, is the commentary. As such he had high praise for play by play announcer Ian Riccabani and color commentator Caprice Coleman.
“I feel like I need to say this, because I think this is what adds so much to our product. It’s the commentary,” Bennett said. “The commentary is so pivotal to what we do. I was watching the pay-per-view the other night and I was sitting there thinking to myself that it’s not just a seasoning on the product. It is so pivotal to what we’re trying to get across.
“And I feel like if you took away Ian or you took away Caprice, we wouldn’t get the same feeling or the same message across. It’s that this is an actual sport with two competitors, and at the end of the day winning and losing means something and it has consequences. ”
Since returning to ROH Bennett has reunited with former Kingdom teammate Matt Taven. The reunion could not be going better for Bennett.
“This is no secret, and I think I’ll tell anyone who listens to me; Taven is my best friend” Bennett said. “In the ring, outside the ring, on TV, and in real life. He’s my best friend. So being able to go back to the company that I love and also doing it with your best friend, who I’ve been able to travel the world with and have all these experiences with, it’s the best.
“He was always there when I was going through all the trouble with WWE. When I was sick and tired and bored and frustrated and this and that, so he knows the struggle. To have someone like that who is just as excited for me as I am for him, it’s just awesome. I don’t have enough nice things to say about him and us coming back as The Kingdom.”
Later Bennett was asked about a potential appearance in All Elite Wrestling. He didn’t appear to be all that interested, instead being more focused on continuing with ROH.
“You know, they didn’t reach out to me,” Bennett said. “Wrestling is very like ‘brother, brother.’ You talk to some people, you put out feelers. Everything was always put out there, but nothing was ever like attacked. I think always in my head, with Taven, it was always Ring of Honor. I never really wanted to go anywhere else. You obviously, if you’re a businessman, and a smart businessman, you put everything out to everybody because you never want to put all your eggs in one basket.
“But you know, when I got fired, one of the first people to reach out to me was Delirious. He just sent me a winky emoji on Twitter. It was just one of those ‘Hey I got ya,” you know?’ That always meant a lot to me because Delirious took over the book when I first started in ROH. We have always had a very good relationship, and it’s always meant a lot to me. So when I got that, it was just kind of like ‘I got you pal.’ It was one of these things where I was going to put out these feelers, but I know where I’m going and I know where I want to go. So it wasn’t really like attacking anything head on."

NEVAEH SAYS ADIOS AS SHE AND IMPACT WRESTLING PART WAYS
Following her loss to Havok on Thursday's Before The Impact, Nevaeh took to social media to thank Impact Wrestling for the last year as she and the company have parted ways.
She was not under contract, nor had she been since she debuted for Impact last April.
She had teamed with Havok for nearly the entire year before the team split in late-March after a loss to Knockouts Tag Team Champions Fire 'N Flava. The two were on opposite sides of a six-woman tag on last Thursday's show and she cost Havok a shot at winning the six-woman weapons match at last Saturday's Hardcore Justice.
The two faced off on Thursday's Impact pre-show with Havok picking up the win.
The 35-year-old (real name Beth Crist) started with Impact last April, debuting on the second night of the then-two night Rebellion. All indications are that she will continue with wrestling. She is married to former Impact roster member Jake Crist and the couple has two children.

Mike Bennett: “WWE Taught Me What I Didn’t Want In This Industry” (LMAO.. Boom, Zing, LOL)
Former WWE and Ring of Honor star Mike Bennett sat down with the Shining Wizards podcast to talk about his career and getting sober. Bennett went in depth on how he wants to use his own experiences to help inspire others.
“Whenever I get fans, or get people that I know that say things like that, there’s nothing else in this industry that means more to me,” Bennett said. “Because at the end of the day, winning world titles and having a legacy is great, but if you can affect somebody’s life personally, what else matters?
“To me, the best feeling I ever get is when fans come up to me and say, ‘my story helped me do this’ or ‘your story helped me do that.’ I’ve had fans reach out to me and say that just the fact that you (Mike) tweet about it led to a conversation with me and my wife where I came out to her that I had an addiction.
“Those stories, it gives me goosebumps to know that I can have an affect on people like that just by talking and just by being open and honest. I feel like we’re not open enough. I feel like we demonize people when they talk about their issues or their problems and we tell them they’re strange or weird when everybody deals with something.
Bennett continued, “Everyone either knows someone who went through an addiction, everyone has a relative that deals with mental health issues like depression, OCD, or anxiety. It’s something that is so common and so prevalent in this country, but we shy away from it when it gets brought up.
“It’s like we can’t talk about the fact that huge amounts of people in this country deal with depression, let alone the fact that we just had a pandemic and we were all locked in. Now we’re dealing with horrible suicide rates and horrible mental health problems and we won’t talk about it? Won’t be open and honest about it? I don’t have a huge platform, but I have enough of a platform that I can say to people that I don’t need to put up this false bravado. I’m human, I have kids and I’m a husband. I deal with mental health issues just like everyone else and I can still find a way to live a healthy, successful career.
“If I can do it, so can you. I think that’s important to get out because there are so many people in the entertainment industry that deal with mental health issues. And if we can stop putting on this fake perfect face that everything’s perfect when it’s not and be like I have bad days and I have good days. Sometimes my bad days are really, really, really bad. And I need you to know that that’s ok. You just have to figure it out and get through it. It doesn’t make you a bad person and it doesn’t make you strange. It makes you incredibly human.”
Bennett, who wrestled in WWE under the name Mike Kanellis, didn’t shy away from both the good and the bad from his time with the promotion. Along with his wife Maria Kanellis, Bennett was among a wave of mass cuts from WWE in the spring of last year.
“It’s funny man. I took a lot of good things away from there,” Bennet said. “Everyone always assumes I hated everything about it, and I’m bitter and this and that. It’s the exact opposite. I think people get annoyed because when I get asked the question, I just speak the truth. I don’t try to sugar coat it and I don’t try to think in my head ‘what should I say so I could eventually go back.’ People ask me a question and I’m brutally honest. Whether that’s good or bad? I think that’s my sobriety talking, but that’s just the way I have been for the past four years. Like, just be honest with it.
“WWE taught me a lot. I’d be lying if I didn’t say that some of the people I met there, that I adore. I got to wrestle at WrestleMania, I got to be part of one of the biggest wrestling companies in the world and I got to travel the world with that company. It was a lot of fun. I think the biggest thing I took away, which again, some people might take this as a knock – it’s not a knock – going to WWE taught me what I didn’t want in this industry. What I didn’t want to be. It changed my love for what I wanted. It was always WWE or bust.
“I got there and I went, you know what, this isn’t for me. This isn’t what I like. And I think that’s ok. I think that’s a positive to take away from it. In WWE, I grew as a man, I grew as a husband and I got clean and sober. There’s a lot to look at in those last three years that I was there and be like, it wasn’t all bad.
“My biggest frustration was that once I got clean and sober, I wanted to work, and WWE didn’t want me to work. They didn’t want me to do anything. I would push and push, and I’m like I’m not looking for world titles. I’m not even looking for a push. I’m asking you to just put me to work so I can prove to you that I do deserve these things. They just didn’t want to do it.”

"YAY! Just What We Always Hoped For".. Says Not One Person As.. New Jeff Jarrett Podcast Starting In May
Is he gonna take credit for the First Wrestle Kingdom like he's done before, on this podcast?
Let's hope not, because he was lying then and he'd be lying now if he does.
Is he gonna explain all the emoptyu seats at his "paid shows" (Where a venue 'bought' a show at a set price, but ticket sales for those shows were absolute shit)?
YYEEAAHH, probably not. Best he doesn't because anything he says he won't take the blame for anyway, and we know it.
Is he gonna try and talk his way out of the 'gold scheme' he tried with 'Team Jarrett' where if you signed up you got a free 8 x 10 autographed picture of him (wo yyaaayy, not) and how people who 'sigmn up[' can be paid in cash and gold?
UUMM, yeah bet he'll avoid that too.
Don't believe he did all that? Here's a video that proves me right. Proof is, a mother fucker you know. And I'm always the mother fucker who, has the proof. :)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U3TXsuhU3fU
Or how about him making an absolute fool out of himself when he appeared drunk at an indy show and passed out in the locker room?
Here's the video of that embarrassment, right here. https://youtu.be/UWwM2xUyVS4
Here's a link to that story, right here. https://www.prowrestlingsheet.com/jeff-jarrett-drunk-wrestling-video/#.YHWtq-hKgdU
Or how about how he force fed himself down people's throats when he started TNA (Which is now Impact) trying to 'prove' he's a main event talent, when he really isn't? And it didn't work out really well?
Or how about getting fired from the very promotion you created, not once, BUT TWICE! Think he'll explain that humiliating debacle?
You see why he really shouldn't do a podcast and seriously should just stay silent?
Of course this IS, Jeff Jarrett.. The guy who force feeds bad ideas.. "We're gonna MAKE THIS a good idea".
He really shouldn't but obviously, he's not smart enough to realize this.
But here's the story about his little podcast for the three people who'maybe', mmaaayybbee, want to know about it.

The show will take listeners on a journey not only through Jarrett’s Hall of Fame career as an in-ring performer but also his time as a promoter and company owner. Along with co-host Thompson, wrestling’s self-proclaimed “King of the Mountain” will look back at the Jarrett family history in the sports entertainment business that dates to 1946, his personal accomplishments, and his forays into company ownership with the creation of NWA Total Nonstop Action (now known as Impact Wrestling) and Global Force Wrestling.
No one in the wrestling business has experienced the trials and tribulations, along with redemptions and longevity, quite like Jarrett. And for the first time ever, listeners will be able to hear “The Chosen One” open up about all of the matches, moments and controversies that would often lead him to ask crowds, “Ain’t I great?”
“For years I’ve been asked, ‘If I could do a podcast with anyone in wrestling today, who would it be?’ And I’ve always been consistent that one of those names is Jeff Jarrett,” Thompson said. “If Jarrett’s life was a movie script, nobody would believe it. I can’t wait to dive into Jeff’s story and hear directly from one of the most accomplished and controversial people to ever be in the wrestling business. ‘My World’ is going to be a can’t-miss podcast.”
Jarrett is eager to share his unique perspectives on the business with Thompson’s listeners.
“The King of the Mountain and the Podfather finally coming together,” Jarrett said. “I’ve been aware of Conrad for quite some time now, and he’s obviously a skilled interviewer with great passion for the wrestling business. He not only does his homework but asks the questions the fans really want to know the most.
“I can’t wait to get started on May 4.”

Randy Orton Says Bad Bunny Is Now A WWE Superstar (LMAO!... Oh Wait, He Was Serious... BWAHAHAHAHAHA!)
Who.. In their right fucking mind thinks THAT, is a 'cool' hair style? Only morons like Bad Bunny and people who have that style think it is. But people in the real world see it for what it is.. Stupid as hell.
Anyways, here's the story.
Randy Orton appeared for the first time on today’s WWE The Bump to hype his upcoming WrestleMania match against The Fiend.
As his interview was finishing up, Orton was asked if he had any closing thoughts on The Fiend, instead, Orton opted to give some praise to Bad Bunny and his performance on last night’s show.
“Ya know what? I don’t got nothin’ to say to [The Fiend],” Orton began. “What I would like to say — and this is going to be completely off-topic — but we’ve had a lot of celebrities over the years since I’ve been here. They come in and try to step into our world, and do what we do because everyone can do it, right? We make it look easy, but it is not.
“For the first time, in this manner, I can say seeing Bad Bunny come into our world. Seeing him completely halt his touring schedule, his music, any kind of thing he had going on, he stopped it dead in its tracks so he could go in the ring. I’ve seen him in there with trainers trying to get as good as he can get. Two, three, four, five hours a day. That impresses me.
“I gotta say thank you to Bad Bunny for having respect for what I do and what everyone else in the locker room does, and what WWE does. I appreciate him, as a fan, but now I can look over at him and call him a fellow performer in my world. It’s a breath of fresh air to know someone like that, with that big of a following, that successful in his own world, steps into our but treats us all with respect. That’s usually not the case when it comes to people coming backstage into our world. I’ve seen it a lot over the years.
“Although, off-topic, I feel it’s important for me to say that I appreciate Bad Bunny and the hard work that he put in to delivering last night. And he did, he knocked everyone’s socks off back here. I was watching and I know he impressed a lot of his fellow WWE Superstars. He’s officially a WWE Superstar, now, in my book.”
Bad Bunny got the pin fall victory on The Miz at last night’s show.
Nothing like toeing the company line. You just 'know' some higher up in WWE told Orton to say all that.
“Do Not Slap Leg When Kicking” Sign Appears In Backstage ‘Mania Video (Nothing Like Making It Obvious, LOL)
Last month, it was reported signs were being put around the backstage area as a reminder for wrestlers to avoid the added sound effect when kicking their opponent. Vince McMahon reportedly saw a SmackDown roster Superstar do it during a show, which apparently angered him and was the catalyst for the new rule.
Clearly, the edict is still being enforced with this recent sighting.

JAZZ LOSES TITLE VS. CAREER MATCH AT IMPACT HARDCORE JUSTICE
Jazz lost to Deonna Purrazzo in the career vs. title match that aired this afternoon at Hardcore Justice.
The finish had Jazz going for offense, but eventually fell to Purrazzo’s Queen’s Gambit. Jazz had put up her career on the line when Tommy Dreamer told her she had to put something up for her match against Purrazzo. Prior to her run in Impact Wrestling, she had been on a retirement tour.
Jazz started to regularly appear in Impact Wrestling last fall. She teamed with Jordynne Grace in the Knockouts Tag Team Championship tournament, but the team was eliminated in the second round. Last month at Sacrifice, she and Grace lost to the Knockouts Tag Team Champions Fire 'n' Flava (Tasha Steelz and Kiera Hogan).
In a match that took place earlier in the show, Tenille Dashwood became the number one contender for the Knockouts title, defeating Rosemary, Alisha Edwards, Havok, Jordynne Grace, and the returning Su Yung. As a result, she will face Purrazzo at Rebellion, Impact's next pay-per-view, on April 25.
The finish to the hardcore match had Grace hitting a Vader bomb on Havok, but Kaleb with a K pulled her out of the ring, allowing Dashwood to come in and steal the pin.
