Impact wrestling thread - It's a Don West tribute thread now!

[Carbomb]

"Johnny All-Star" does have a certain ring to it, albeit a ridiculously cheesy one.

[Nick Soapdish]

Maybe next September we could even see Johnny Progress

[Guest]

Sounds like a certificate you'd get in sex ed.

Bound for Glory is in Ottawa. Lovely city (one of the best I've ever visited tbh), but considering the size of the Toronto metropolitan area, a little surprising.

Ed Nordholm must have got a good deal on the building.

Quite like the idea of Johnny Combat.

Sounds like an Action Man knockoff.

[Doog]

The press release refers to it as Impact Wrestling as wel and has no mention of GFW at all so it looks like that little rebrand is over

[IANdrewDiceClay]

Should sign up here as Johnny Fan Froum.

Cornette gone from the company now too.

Just another day in the life of TNA/Impact/GFW. 

[ColinBollocks]

Hopefully it was an awful exit. Cornette can spend 7+ years ranting about it on his podcast.

It doesn't sound like it was (I'm not convinced he won't be back tbh). But with Cornette (and indeed TNA), you never know.

GFW Amped part 2 now available on demand. 

Its weird seeing WWE contracted wrestlers on it and the commentators even acknowledge people like Shelton Benjamin and Curt Hawkins are WWE contracted wrestlers and TJ Perkins.

And even though the quality of wrestling isn't as good as youd see on NXT the way its presented is like a legit fighting tournament. Bobby Roode is definitely the big fish in a small pond on it, hes the star on the show.

Someone posted on Twitter the bit of commentary where they pretended Bobby Roode had arrived from NXT. It's absolutely brilliant. It makes them look as stupid and small time as ever but funny none the less.

Here's Corny rambling for 20 minutes about his departure.

[Ambulance Chaser]

Johnny Impact is so laughably bad at promo's and anything talking related, I actually find it hard to watch.

Also, a mention for the proper hick couple on the front row this week with a "SHERA IS MY HERO" sign    Fucking Mahabali Shera!!!!

[Keith Houchen]

Unless they meant He-Man's twin and went for a gender neutral approach.
