IMPACT Throwback Throwdown

Overall Rating: ★★★●★☆☆

Well, this was extremely silly, but quite entertaining. A bit slow in places, and a little too long, but over all pretty good.

  1. Singles (Chad 2 Badd vs. Bill Ding)
    ★★★●★☆☆
    The actual match was basically background for the silliness of the commentators, but they were quite entertaining.
  2. Tag Team (Sunday Morning Express vs. Rhythmic Warriors)
    ★★★●★☆☆
    Filler. Commentators haven't worn out their welcome yet though.
  3. Singles (Rip Rayzor vs. Frank the Butcher)
    ★★★●★★☆
    Austin and Miller were very entertaining, and the commentators, amazingly, still haven't gotten annoying.
  4. Singles ("Rough Rider" Georgia Cobb vs. Lady Bird Johnston)
    ★★★●★★☆
    Good match. Grace is always very impressive, and Havok is also great.
  5. Singles (Quincy Cosmos vs. Giusseppe Scovelli Jr)
    ★★★●☆☆☆
    Pretty uninteresting. And putting one of the commentators into the match left the other one with no one to bounce off.
  6. 4-Corners Bullrope Match (Badlands Bart vs. "Hard" Harry Hall)
    ★★★○☆☆☆
    OK, the commentators are kind of wearing on me now. Their "speculating about the future" bits don't work, and unfortunately Bart's gimmick is that he's from the future, so that just invites it. Also, four corners matches are dumb. Not as dumb as ladder matches, but it's still way too obvious that they're stalling.
  7. Singles (Ima Belle vs. Rusty Iron)
    ★★★●★☆☆
    OK, the commentators have won me back over. The match was fine.
  8. Singles (Tim Burr vs. Eric "the Red" Wood)
    ★☆☆○☆☆☆
    Skipped.
  9. Singles (Jazzy Fitbody vs. Wanda the Werewoman)
    ★★★●☆☆☆
    Nothing of interest, aside from when Wanda bit Jazzy, potentially turning her into a werewolf? Guess we'll find out next year?
  10. Tag Team (STOMP in Paradise vs. The Russians)
    ★★★●★★☆
    Just a good match. I just wish Myers and Cardona would team up in the regular storyline as well.
  11. North Pole Street Fight International Commonwealth Television Championship (Sex Ferguson vs. Muscles McGhee Santa Claus)
    ★★★●★★☆
    There was a man called "Sex" in this match, and the commentators had a lot of fun with that. It's basically one simple joke over and over, but I enjoyed it. The match was also ok.
