Their roster is thin so them giving airtime to Dreamer and Myers is kind of understandable (Swoggle I don't get, although I'm ashamed to say I chuckled at the Wee-nominal One line) I'd argue the fact that Impact can build up almost anyone to a decent degree before they go to WWE or AEW is why AEW is partnering with them. They made new LAX a big deal, the Lucha Bros, Brian Cage, they reinvigorated John Morrison, the Rascalz are apparently going to NXT, there's constant rumours of Tessa Blanchard going to WWE or AEW. Yes these guys had the raw talent to make it big but it was their time in Impact that made the big companies take notice.

Well maybe if Dreamer and Myers weren't getting so much time, the roster could be built up so they don't need those two.

I'm not sure how much credit I would give to Impact for that. Those people were big enough deals going into Impact that they were going to be signed to a place like WWE (or AEW once it existed). Impact didn't hurt them, but there's a reason that Impact is the joke that it is.

It's looking less and less like one at the moment anyway.

Nah. Just a mention of him will be fine.

General thoughts on the career of Roy Shire?

Great promoter, innovated some stuff and the battle royal was a huge deal. There isn't much to be seen of his stuff but the stories people tell about him make it clear that he was one of the more intelligent bookers out there.

How often do the babyfaces lose in War Game matches?

It was rare but not unheard of. They lost in 1991, 1996 and 1997 in WCW alone.

What was the point of Kenny Omega going to Impact to cut the same promo he cut on Dynamite?

Why was the WWE so upset with WCW signing WWE talent in the 90's when Vince signed all the talent from the territories from the mid to late 80's?

To boost Impact as a favor to Callis.

Eric Bischoff on a WWE Roundtable show:

"When I did it, it was a raid. When Vince did it to the AWA, it was smart business."

I wish Roode would ditch Ziggler and have a decent run. His age limits his ceiling, but the guy can cut a good promo and tell a good story. He proved that in TNA. Or, and I know it?ll never happen, but bring back Beer Money. James Storm had such a high ceiling. WWE messed that up too. He was one of my favorites in TNA.
