Currently watching Homecoming, not sure this PPV seems really low budget, the LAX vs Pentagon/Fenix match was awesome mind.

Looks-wise, yeah, a combination of not having much money to play with, plus - I hope - a nod to the original PPVs (the lighting made it seem like it was). I haven't reached the tag title match; just starting the Monster's Ball match, but it's been mostly good so far, especially the Ultimate X match and surprisingly, Eddie Edwards vs. Moose.

While I'm here, some good news that was announced during Homecoming...

 

Talk about turning a negative - not getting a proper TV deal and being offloaded onto one of Anthem's channels - into a positive.

Yeah that's not a bad move considering not many people have the Pursuit Channel

 

I dunno if you seen the World Title match the finish was...interesting!

So Kenny Omega and KUSHIDA both announced they have left NJPW.  Juice Robinson announced he's staying with NJPW. SoCal Uncensored has signed with AEW (shocking news there!). Lots of moves going on. I feel like NJPW is getting shafted big time here, since they've really used Western talent like crazy the last say, 10 years or more, and now all the big names are basically cutting dry and either going to AEW now, or WWE/ROH (one would assume). Though NJPW has said they will continue to work with ROH on their US expansion plans (which is smart, and good).

Speaking of Kenny he is signing with AEW if the recent events if anything is to go by.

 

Kushida probably NXT or 205

I have now, and what a cockup that was. 😖

 

I was expecting a Killer Kross run-in to help Johnny retain, that would've made the most sense, storyline-wise. Instead, we got a distraction involving two has-beens from Survivor in the crowd - who thankfully didn't jump the guardrail - and a botched pin.

 

I don't know why they keep doing this; putting on a great PPV throughout until they ###### it up in the main event, which is what most people end up talking about (although granted, Bound for Glory wasn't really their fault, that was Austin Aries being a prick).

I don't watch Impact that often just follow the news but for someone who hasn't seen it for a while I thought the PPV was a bit weak in parts and main event just ruined it.

The knockouts title match admittedly was weak, too; couple of good spots, but a screwy finish. There were still several good matches, like the ones I mentioned earlier, as well as the tag title match you mentioned. Speaking of which...

😲 Spot of the night.

I'm not one of those going nuts that Nia Jax is some horrible botch machine who needs to go die in a fire or something. But maybe some time at the performance center would be good for her, because at times she seems totally frozen or even dumbfounded on what to do in matches. That being said, I think that spot wasn't a botch so much as a spot that didn't go quite as planned. Also the match they had itself, was pretty fine for the most part. Nia Jax is also really laying into this heel persona and going with it, which I think is smart. I just can't stand how she acts lol

Yeah I guess Jericho not working for another promotion in the North American areas is not a thing anymore. I wonder if Vince or WWE did him dirty his last run or something.

WWE have already moved Jericho's profile to Alumni

    • Brave Browser 1.91.168

      By Copernic · Posted

      Brave Browser 1.91.168 by Razvan Serea Brave Browser is a lightning-fast, secure web browser that stands out from the competition with its focus on privacy, security, and speed. With features like HTTPS Everywhere and built-in tracker blocking, Brave keeps your online activities safe from prying eyes. Brave is one of the safest browsers on the market today. It blocks third-party data storage. It protects from browser fingerprinting. And it does all this by default. Speed - Brave is built on Chromium, the same technology that powers Google Chrome, and is optimized for speed, providing a fast and responsive browsing experience. Brave Browser also features Brave Rewards, a system that rewards users with Basic Attention Tokens (BAT) for viewing opt-in ads. This innovative system provides an alternative revenue model for content creators and a way to support the Brave community. SlimBrave Neo takes all the good things about Brave and makes them even better by keeping everything clean, light, and privacy-focused. It removes the extra clutter, turns off features you might not need, and cuts down on anything that could slow you down or collect unnecessary data. Because it relies on simple settings and policies instead of modifying the browser itself, you still get full Brave compatibility—just in a smoother, lighter, and more privacy-friendly package.
