The Rascalz vs. TBA, TBA wasn't the Good Brothers but The Motor City Machine Guns.
Who would later in the night challenged The North for the Tag Titles on next weeks Impact, which should be a good match.
Heath Slater showed up and had a bit backstage bit with Rhino, I'd like to see them team back up and add depth to the tag division of Impact. Now I know it be copying WWE but I'd sooner that then the normal EX-WWE let's push for the World Title or something.
The women's gauntlet was more of a rumble and may have had even more wrestlers than what was listed as seemed a lot, add in Grace & Deonna to the mix along with Dashwood and maybe some others then the women's division is strong and I go as far as saying better than AEW's.
I can see why rumours of tag titles coming back makes sense as even though I say it's strong roster it is still only about 20 wrestlers which is way less than WWE, yet I can just see Impact booking the belts better and seems to be teams already.
The main event ended up being a 5 way like it was originally planned with Rich Swann coming out as number 4 which was a tad disappointing then came out Eric Young. It was a good match which managed to make a feud between Swann and Young, personally though I'd like to see Young v Moose as Young is an old TNA guy so that makes some sense around that belt especially seeing Moose hasn't got likes of Samoa Joe, AJ, Roode to feud with who were top TNA guys, and he's beaten likes of Rhino, Dreamer etc already that not sure who's left for him to face,
Eddie Edwards won the match and is the new champ, I'd like to have seen Impact pull the trigger on Ace Austin who did start a beat down on Eddie along with his heavy Madman Fulton at the end till the Good Brothers made the save.
Seemed like that was that with a black screen after the celebration of Eddie and The Good Brothers but ended up being a quick thing with EC3 then it was over.
Matches were good and I certainly want to watch the tag match next week, and see what happens with EC3 and the Good Brothers going forward. Just the show had some issues be it when it goes to show a replay and showing what's happening in the ring still instead of the cool move and the lack of any audience for a 3hr show was really telling.
I think Eddie is a likeable guy and as I say the 5 way was good but no real top stars, that's really the thing I took from the show was good wrestling, good wrestlers, a very good women's division but really lacking the WOW factor AEW & WWE have. Still, I can see Impact being the Number 3 promotion in the states (certainly can be do well in the UK as it's easy to watch) as ROH let's just say is iffy due
#SpeakingOut and the others be it NWA, MLW or Evolve unless TV deals really push those aren't quite on the same level.
