I get how that move incapacitated Aries but how did it knockout the other guy who landed on his knees?

Also, I appear to have missed the grilling of E. Li. Drake.
Shame. That was an internet burial I could have gotten behind. Just wish Noid didn't sugar coat things and came out and told us how he really felt... |

Most "big gates in a year." Sounds very unspecific. I just did a Google search and apparently it's a stat borrowed from Dave Meltzer. I'd say it's legit, but it just depends on how you measure "big." I doubt he would have drawn "more," if that makes sense?

Lots of Backlund's big gates had Bruno Sammartino or Andre The Giant on the undercard. Especially at MSG. That stat totally blows away the "Bruno sold out MSG 187 times" argument, which if you actually look at the attendance records, isn't an argument. He sold it put 47-50 times tops. |

Did not expect Pentagon to win the Impact World title. Speaking of the new title looks pretty good, tag titles aren't bad and the X Division title didn't change much. I do like that they incorporated the owl into their titles though. Interested to see how the next set of tapings go and the build for Slammiversary. I like what they are doing with the collaboration with other companies and hope it continues as tapings last year just didn't mesh well together and every set seemed like a different show.

Agreed, they should think about repricing their PPVs similar to ROH. Might have bought it if it was $25. Also need to work out the GWN set up some type of discount to members for PPVs. The WWE Network has completely changed the wrestling PPVs and I get they can't give away their PPVs for $10 since they have so few but $40 is to high.

If Noid had a gun with two bullets and he was in a room with Hitler, Bin Laden, and Eli Drake - he would shoot Eli Drake twice.

A look at Impacts new titles, I think they should have used the X on the side plate of the X Division title as the centerpiece. The X just looks better. They really love that owl though, which doesn't look bad on the World Title but the Tag Team titles have 2 owls and that might have been a bit overboard.

New belts look alright, although they all look pretty much the same, hard to tell them apart without studying them.

I know, 2017 was a bad year for the title situation in Impact. At the start of the year still had the TNA Heavyweight Championship although they had quit referencing TNA. Then came in GFW and they were just using the GFW belts until that fail through so they just screwed Impact logos over the GFW logos. Agree the World and X Division titles didn't change their looks a whole lot but the Knockouts and Tag Team titles got a complete overhaul. Think this is also the first time the Knockouts Championship actually says Knockouts instead of Women's.

Also 2017 every taping seemed like a different promotion. New regime seems to have their footing now and are doing some cool things. Hope they can keep it up.

Roman Reigns indicates he would like to face Daniel Bryan at WM35. The goal is to progressively get a more hostile reaction each year apparently lol

The Rock ended up confirming rumors that he was the original tag partner for Ronda Rousey for Mania 34. WWE had talks with him around 2 months ago to see if he could be at Mania and when that wasn't possible, Angle became Ronda's partner instead.

It would have been much better if it was The Rock instead of Angle.
It also would have made much more sense too. |

I guess that would also explain why the build-up to the match felt rushed and was generally pretty poor.

Judging by house show cards looks like Braun vs Baron Corbin and Elias vs Lashley might be upcoming feuds.

Looks like Ronda's going to be building up her skills on the european tour.
She's against Mickie james in matches on May 16-19. i have a feeling she's going to be big for the long term. Kurt Angle did say that Ronda has picked up on Wrestling quicker than he did. |

I feel like this is harsh. Going into the show I would've agreed but Angle improved leaps and bounds since his return last year. Last year I am quite sure he was on some kind of Xanax or anti-anxiety medication. I take that so I know how you move around on it. He was out of it. At WM it was like seeing Kurt, just older, but still pretty awesome.
