Took 15 weeks of a 1-year trial run for Dynamite to get extended and another hour of TV time with another show.

175m is a nice chunk of a change too. Brilliant stuff.

Great deal for them... But they barely have enough talent for 1 passable show let alone 2.....jeez they have DDP, Goldust, Arn Anderson & Tully Blanchard on the show...even now they're stalling with storylines to drag them out (Cody didn't answer MJFs challenge last week, Moxley waited about 3 weeks to answer Jericho's Inner circle invite)....the Dark order feels like a bad 1980's wcw storyline... Thought aew was gonna be fresh, and cool...
And the less said about their women's division the better..

Theyve got a tonne of talent for Dynamite plus Dark atm, with a few more signings to come.

It’s been brilliant to watch. I don’t bother with WWE anymore, purely Dynamite.
 
Impact wrestling showing themselves up yet again as a pathetic little outlaw outfit. Throwing the world title on Tessa Blanchard does nothing for either her or the title. They've just made their woman's title look absolutely worthless and all their other woman roster members useless. She can't ever compete for the woman's title again now without it looking like a demotion. Just an awful, mindless decision that shows why Impact deserve to be where they're as a company.

Fair enough, I've not taken to it.... Too many high spots not resulting in pinfalls.. Feels like every wrestler is using the destroyer (that should be a finisher for 1 wrestler, and be protected like the tombstone/RKO)..

Only watch it for Jericho and a bit MJF....

Think it was 2 weeks ago, Arn Anderson 'coached' Cody (their top baby face) to put his knees up to counter Darby Allin's Coffin drop.... Was weird...

Good point.

No way could she ever struggle at women's level now if she can top the men's ladder . It also then has to lead to inter gender wrestling full time as Tess can't be singled out like that over an entire division.

Imagine her being in the women's division and losing clean now?

It's one of those where you book yourself into a corner (bit like wwe have done with the fiend)...
It's more a problem for the men's division than the women's... Unless she loses the title straight away again, she's gonna be beating some, or all, of their top men over the next few months (don't watch impact so have no idea what their main event level talent is, I just watched this title win)...

Back in the day, wwf obviously had Chyna win the intercontinental title, but she was different....

Had heard of Tessa blanchard before but never seen her.... I was impressed....wwe will throw huge money at her..

Because Ray is a million times the wrestler that Tessa Blanchard could ever dream of being?

Plus at least when Ray won the belt he always played a massive underdog and never wrestled 50/50 match's, you could suspend your disbelief without insulting your own intelligence. That's clearly not the direction they're going in with Tessa.

I'm not saying there can't be believable woman competing with the guys and winning the men's world title. Chyna could of worked and so could Awesome Kong. Tessa Blanchard ain't no Chyna or Awesome Kong.

WWE got the woman's revolution right. Make the woman's world title seem just as important as the men's and give it main event matches when its warranted. Tessa Blanchard winning the mens world title just hurts everyone including herself in the long run.

Her being world champion is about as outlaw as you can get. Decisions like this are why the audience watching wrestling is shrinking constantly.

It brings attention to Impact so it's best for business.
