Big Vinny V: TNA Impact review & NJPW G1 highlights
The Big Vinny V Show returns with your host, Vince Verhei.
Last Thursday, TNA Impact continued its recent trend of focusing more on promotion and less on matches, although it did have an entertaining main event: Moose & Eddie Edwards against Trick Williams & AJ Francis with a new challenger emerging to face Williams for the TNA World title at Emergence.
Elsewhere, Leon Slater made the first defense of his X-Division title which should have been a much bigger deal than it turned out to be; Indi Hartwell & Dani Luna facing Jodi Threat & Arianna Grace in a match that made absolutely no sense going in and even less sense when it was over; The Nemeth Brothers facing the Rascalz in a disappointingly short match; and NXT Women’s Champion Jacy Jayne defending the TNA Knockouts title against former champion Masha Slamovich in another disappointingly short match.
Oh, and there were long promo segments featuring the Home Town Man, Mike Santana, and Sami Callihan.
Then, we head off to Osaka for two big recent matches in New Japan’s G1 Climax: Shingo Takagi vs. Shota Umino, and Zack Sabre Jr. vs. Konosuke Takeshita.
All this and more on a new Big Vinny V Show!
