Overall – MISS: I consider this a MISS since, unlike a normal Impact Special (which is just a glorified house show) this was promoted more like a PPV, and so it left me wanting. With […]
Opening Segment – HIT: This was a fun opening segment involving The Usos, The New Day and Miz & Morrison before their 8 man tag match which also included Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode. The […]
•Overall – HIT: Good bounce back after some less than stellar episodes from the Mexico tapings. Impact has done a good job promoting the Sacrifice Impact Plus Special giving it a vibe of a PPV. […]
•Tag Team Battle Royal – HIT: This was one of the best battle royals you will ever see. The crowd was hot the whole match and the eliminations felt like they were well thought out and […]
Undisputed Era Kick Off The Show, Velveteen Mind games – HIT: I like how this segment played out. Even though three of the four members of Undisputed Era have lost their gold, they still looked […]
Orton – Hardy – MISS: I wanted to like this segment. I fully expected to considering how much I have enjoyed the storyline involving Randy Orton and Edge. Last week’s angle with Matt Hardy was […]
•OPENING MONTAGE – MISS: The music is so hot that I can’t hear ANYTHING the people are saying. I have no idea what they’re watching or responding to. Although I see Billy Zane, so these […]
•Poppy’s Portland Performance – HIT: I’ve never been a fan of live music performances on a wrestling show, unless they are playing a wrestler’s music as they walk to the ring. Poppy actually sucked me […]
•Adam Page & Kenny Omega vs. SCU – HIT: Another hot match to kick off Dynamite. The fast-paced athletic matches have proven to be a great way to set the tone and pace of the show. […]
Overall – MISS: With only a women’s title match worth watching, and even then, only for the historical significance of the end of the longest Impact Knockouts Championship title reign in the history of the […]
•Roderick Strong calls out Velveteen Dream – HIT: Last week, Dream returned to NXT after a few months away after an injury. When he returned, he came back with Strong’s family painted onto his trunks […]
•DAWSONS (W/POPE) VS. THE BOUNCERS (W/EDDIE KINGSTON) – HIT, SHOCKINGLY: I was all prepared to hate this match. Cowboy was doing his best Hangman impression while tag partner, Eli Drake, was on guest commentary, and […]
Opening Segment with Seth & Co. – HIT: This is a marginal Hit. Raw started off with The Messiah Complex talking about what happened last week. The mic work from Seth Rollins was strong, but […]
Broserweights celebrate their victory – HIT : I continue to love every second that we see this pair on our screens. From their brilliant back and forth banter to their “Bro-mobile”, they are pure gold. […]
The Dirt Sheet – MISS: I thought re-teaming John Morrison with The Miz would be good for Miz who was floundering as a babyface after (really starting before) his feud with The Fiend. Instead, it […]
•Jon Moxley vs. Ortiz – HIT: This was one of those matches that felt like it went about 4 or 5 minutes when in reality it took up the first 15-20 minutes of Dynamite. Jon Moxley […]
Randy Orton – HIT: This was a good way to follow up on the major heat generating angle that closed out last week’s Raw. Randy Orton was great here in selling the fact that he […]
Overall – HIT: This episode easily could have been a PUSH or a MISS if it weren’t for a very good match between TJP and Hijo del Vikingo. Most of the segments and matches felt […]
OPENING MONTAGE – MISS: They’ve finally updated the video package that highlights the current roster and champions, but now we’re using Pantera?! No more Dokken?! No more “Into the Fire”?! Ladies, gentlemen, fellow friends beyond […]
Opening Segment – MISS: Ugh. Smackdown and Raw couldn’t be more different right now. I look forward to Raw every week, while dreading Smackdown. This opening segment compares so unfavorably to the start of Raw. […]
•Chris Jericho-Jon Moxley Promo – HIT: The crowd was hot for Jon Moxley, but throughout the night they were a bit different than the usual AEW crowd. Typically, AEW fans are hot for the majority of […]
•Beth Phoenix Sells Edge’s “Injury” – HIT: The announcers kicked off the show with Mauro welcoming Beth Phoenix to the booth after a crazy Rumble weekend for her family. She somberly said that Randy Orton […]
EDITOR’S NOTE: PWTorch is looking for a new Impact Wrestling TV reporter. If you are interested, and able to write a report and submit it the night the show premieres, please let me know: kellerwade@pwtorch.com. […]
•OPENING MONTAGE – HIT: Scurll is here to cause a spot of bother and challenge for the NWA World’s Heavyweight Championship, but due to Flip Gordon’s loss at Hard Times to Nick Aldis, the champ […]
