Impact Wrestling Slammiversary 2018 Results and Review

Impact Wrestling Slammiversary 2018 

Slammiversary from Impact came through Canada and well, I knew nothing about the event other than Tommy Dreamer was booked on it. So, let's find out how it was. I heard on Twitter that it was good, so let's find out, this could very well be the best Impact Wrestling since 2006? Well, let's find out. This is my take on the event, since I watched it this morning.

Impact Wrestling Slammiversary 2018 Results and Review

Johnny Impact defeated Fenix, Bone Soldier, and Petey Williams

The opener for this show featured 4 great wrestlers, and it was a fun thing to watch. Every single high spot you could get was thrown at you through this match, and it was interesting to see how things worked out. Every member of this match was going all out, throwing themselves throughout the ring, and really showcasing great athletic abilities. There were so many moves, you'll have to see it for yourself. Of course, Starship Pain gets the victory in the finish, but wow, what a matchup.

Tessa Blanchard defeated Allie

I had no idea who Allie was, and well, she did a lot to fight through Blanchard's offense. Tessa Blanchard is one hell of an athlete, and once again proves that she's very good as a wrestler. She has power, and strength, and is great in ring. I found the match to be fun, and filled with a lot of back and forth moments. Given a good deal of time, and a lot of back and forth, this was no doubt a great match for women. I had fun, and Blanchard should be in WWE at a top level.

Eddie Edwards defeated Tommy Dreamer in a House of Hardcore Match

If you're into hardcore matches, then of course you're going to like how this turns out. Tommy Dreamer did a great deal of work here, and Edwards waas bleeding out bad, but overall, the match was just a hard hitting affair. Edwards would get the win, but not without taking a beating, and of course, giving Tommy Dreamer a beating as well. I'm ok without having too many matches in the hardcore arena, that's just me. Dreamer is still wrestling? Wow.

Brian Cage defeated Matt Sydal

Wow, Brian Cage impressed me the most here. Matt Sydal was good, no doubt, but Brian Cage was able to catch Sydal in every single instance, and I was absolutely impressed. Cage would eventually get the win, but wow, Sydal was impressive as well. Cage is an interesting wrestler.

Su Yung defeated Madison Rayne

I love Su Yung's character here, and she threw down a lot of offense against Madison Rayne. Rayne wasn't a slouch, she was able to fight a great one if you ask me. I mean not amazing, but still enough to make this an interesting match, with Yung winning in the end. I liked this a lot. It was a good match, and an interesting title defense for sure.

LAX defeated OGz in a 5150 Street Fight for the Tag Titles

Wow, this was one hell of a street fight. The two teams really threw down as much as you could in a match, and there was a lot of plunder, blood, and fighting. This was great, it was different enough from the House of Hardcore match, but it still had a lot of elements that are interesting overall. The match was great with LAX getting the win after a frog splash on a dude that was on thumbtacks. After the match OGz beat up Konnan, then spray painted the tag team titles, and that was that. Wow, hell of a match, and a nice ending, with the bad guys getting one over on the other teams. Defacing the titles, and getting heel heat, wow. Really cool, this was a fight that was nothing short of impressive.

Pentagon Jr. defeated Sami Callihan in a hair vs mask match

This was a great match. The two were able to work very well with a stellar back and forth match. The two were able to fight, and hit some serious hits. I was impressed with how fluid both wrestlers were, and this thing got hardcore fast. After some serious fights, you'll find that Pentagon Jr. was able to get a big win, and in fact was definitely impressive in the end. Callihan impressed me too, wow, what two talents going at it in what was very much a hard hitting battle for hair and mask. Pentagon got the win, and that's that. Good match, lots of spots, chops, and more.

Austin Aries defeated Moose in the Impact Title Match

I have no idea who Moose is. Austin Aries was getting a beat down for the most part. Aries was getting beat down for a good portion of this match, even though Aries is fast, and was able to counter some of Moose's work. This was a great overall match, with a lot of back and forth, with Aries having to battle a much larger, and much stronger opponent. I was impressed with Aries and Moose alike. Impact really has some good stars here, and I was impressed with Aries here, especially since he wasn't treated all that well by WWE. Not a 4 start classic, but definitely a great match up, with a lot to offer. Impact Wrestling really surprised me here.

I cannot agree more with the Twitter fans, this was a great rundown of wrestling and something that Impact should be proud of. Now if only their weekly shows weren't taped so long in advance, maybe I'd watch more often. Good outing here.

Ring of Honor 8/4/10 Review

I promised some more Ring of Honor coverage, and the delay this week was due to the fact that I had to get my hands on some ROH, so it took me an extra day. I think I finally got it all figured out and will be adding ROH to my line up of reviews I do. this show aired 8/4/10 but I'm not sure when it was taped or anything like that. I don't have a lot of information on ROH and if you want to fill me in email me or hit me up on aim (thecorporatehero), just don't be a jerk about it. So here you go, my review of ROH television.

The Dark City Fight Club defeated Mr. Ernesto Osiris & Shawn Daivari

There is a tag team tournament going on called tag wars, and it's awesome to see a promotion actually enjoy watching tag team wrestling. The match started on the outside with both teams fighting each other and going at it into the barricades. This match had a few bad looking botches, but the Dark City Fight Club was quite good and reminded me of the Eliminators in ECW, and won with a combination neck breaker powerbomb, which was quite good. This match was standard wrestling fair, but it was cool to see tag teams represented as more than just "hot shotted" idiots.

The Eddie Edwards Ten Minute Hunt began, and the television champion Eddie Edwards wanted to see if anyone could fight him and defeat him. Not a bad thing, I can see a Ultimate warrior run down and win.

Eddie Edwards defeated Frank Freddie

I think the new comer said his name was Frank...or something...I don't know. The match started with Edwards pummeling the newcomer. Frank had some nice moves, and was hitting Edwards with some solid hits and moves, but thinks turned around after a flurry of offense from the new comer. Eddie Edwards caught Frank off the top rope with a powerbomb and turned it into a half-Boston Crab while kicking him in the head. They called it the Achilles Lock, and it was quite the submission, wow, not a bad match.

Kenny King defeated Delirious

Austin Aries was supposed to battle Delirious but he came out to the ring and said that he couldn't wrestle because he had laringitis. So he found a replacement, the young Kenny King. Kenny King won this match with what was called the Shotgun Knees. Austin Aries distracted Delirious by blowing smoke in his face and then distracting him in ring, and that was that.

Jay Briscoe defeated Claudio Castagnoli

A very nice back and forth match up with Claudio looking like one heck of a wrestler and Jay Briscoe looking like the second coming of PG-13, just sayin. Jay Briscoe hit a very nasty looking Death valley Driver right on Claudio's neck, and I thought this thing was done, but nope, Jay couldn't get the 3 count. Jay Briscoe won after reversing some pinfall attempts and that was that. This match wasn't terrible, but it wasn't a technical classic either.

Mark Briscoe defeated Chris Hero

Chris Hero looks to be ready for the big leagues, why he's not in TNA or WWE is beyond me. More than anyone else on the show he looks like he could fit in very well with the rest of the guys in the big leagues. This match was quite good, with lots of back and forth action, Hero looking like a champion, and Mark the sympathetic face outclassed by a more traditional pro-wrestler. Mark Briscoe won with a nice pinfall, and that was that.

Overall, this night of ROH wasn't half bad. I liked it. I'm not completely sold on the Briscoe Brothers, but there is some great tag team action, some good singles wrestling, and an overall good show. I didn't hate it, but that might be because I'm relatively new to watching ROH on a weekly basis, I might change my mind.
