BVV: TNA Impact featured the best piledriver in years
It’s time for a new Big Vinny V with a look back at last week’s TNA Impact.
The highlight wasn’t a match or a return or a promo. Rather, it was Eric Young piledriving Travis Williams during an angle that spelled the apparent end of the Northern Armory — one of the best executions of that move you’ll ever see.
The other one hour and 59 minutes were split between several masters, trying to build interest for the next episode, Victory Road in three weeks, and Bound For Glory in October.
To that end, we got Moose vs. AJ Francis; Joe Hendry not doing an advertised match with Eric Young; a Victoria Crawford segment that was even nuttier than you’d expect; an excellent four-way match featuring all three Rascalz and Jake Something; The Elegance Brand against the IInspiration in a pair of singles matches; and the Nemeth Brothers vs. The System.

WOL: WWE WrestleMania 43 going global despite backlash
Andrew Zarian is back with another episode of Wrestling Observer Live Sunday edition, this week on location, talking all things professional wrestling.
The big story of the week was WWE’s announcement that the 2027 edition of WrestleMania will be held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. He discusses how this is being perceived and if the country has evolved enough to become a tourism destination that can support such an event.
He also discusses the impact on all the independent shows that are usually part of WrestleMania weekend.
He also talks about the comments from TKO’s Mark Shapiro where he said that Vince McMahon priced his product for families and didn’t take full advantage of the potential. This is further proof of this not being McMahon’s company anymore.
Also, AAA x WWE Worlds Collide took place, and Dominik Mysterio is the new AAA Mega Champion after what turned out to be a very entertaining show.
Plus, early previews of AEW All Out, WWE Wrestlepalooza, and the quiet release of Andrade.
