Powell’s POV: You can’t blame Impact for not replaying the full match of the year given that it went nearly an hour and just aired a few weeks ago. The fans definitely made the right call on that gem. Overall, this was an easy to watch “best of” style show. There were plenty of good pay-per-view matches that aired on television for the first time. The awards were predictable and yet they add something to the show. John Moore’s weekly reviews of Impact, my Hit Lists, and my weekly audio reviews for Dot Net Members (including our Patreon patrons) will return next week once Impact resumes airing first-run matches.
