Impact Wrestling Results – November 24, 2022 (Thanksgiving Special)

Impact Wrestling Date: November 24, 2022 Hosts: Tom Hannifan, Matthew Rehwoldt It’s Thanksgiving and that means we are in for a special Best Of show around here. That’s about as logical as you’re going to get for this time of year as there is no reason to believe that anyone is going to pay attention to a show on such a big holiday. You never know what you’ll see on something like this but let’s get to it. Opening sequence. The hosts welcome us to the show and promise us some great Thanksgiving moments, plus a look at Overdrive. We’ll start with Thanksgiving 2008, with Rhino pinning Alex Shelley in a triple threat match also involving Sheik Abdul Bashir. As a result, Rhino gets $25,000 and Shelley has to wear a turkey suit, as enforced by Mick Foley with threats of firings/bad history lessons. Wrestlers say what they are thankful for (Joe Hendry is thankful for mirrors because he gets to see who he really is). Deaner asks Eric Young if this is the end of Violent By Design but doe..

WATCH: Sasha Banks Surprises Students In Amazing Moment

That’s something special. Wrestlers can be in a weird place when it comes to celebrity status, as while they are television stars, they are also stuck in the wrestling bubble. While that can keep them from breaking through to another level, there is quite the status for them right where they are. That was on display recently in a very sweet moment for a group of people. New York school teacher Victor Perry runs a wrestling club with his students where wrestling is used to teach life lessons. During their most recent meeting, WWE star Sasha Banks made a surprise appearance to meet with the students, take photos with her WWE Women’s Tag Team Title and sign autographs. Banks thanked Perry for having her and called him a great role model. The GOAT. ??? @SashaBanksWWE pic.twitter.com/9oYQeRjqyI — Victor Taylor Perry (@wallflowerperry) May 6, 2022 Made a special stop to see @wallflowerperry wrestling club. Your students inspire me so much!! Thank you for being the best/coolest role model..

REVIEW: Money In The Bank 2019: Climb Faster

Welcome to KB’s Old School (and New School) Reviews. I’ve been reviewing wrestling shows for over ten years now and have reviewed over 5,000 shows. Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, I’ll be posting a new review here on Wrestlingrumors.net. It could be anything from modern WWE to old school to indies to anything in between. Note that I rate using letters instead of stars and I don’t rate matches under three minutes as really, how good or bad can something that short be? Money In The Bank 2019 Date: May 19, 2019 Location: XL Center, Hartford, Connecticut Commentators: Michael Cole, Renee Young, Corey Graves, Tom Phillips, Byron Saxton It’s time to climb, even if the build for the show hasn’t been as aggressive as previous years. The last few weeks have been all about the Wild Card Rule and Counting Lessons With WWE, meaning the ladder matches have felt like afterthoughts. No wonder this one has been one of the least frustrating. Let’s get to it. Kickoff Show: Rowan/Daniel Bryan vs. ..

KB’s Review: The Midnight Express Should Give WWE Sneering Lessons

You can call wrestling a lot of things, but ultimately it is about telling a story. That can be accomplished in a lot of different ways, but there are a few things that have to be there to make the whole thing work. You need the right characters, the right story and the right actions, but you also need the right energy. If the vibe isn’t right, the whole thing is not going to work out. An old clip made me think about this earlier this week and it kind of shows you something that is missing from modern wrestling. First off, the clip: [This post contains video, click to play] And now, some backstory. This is from Starrcade 1987 in Chicago, with the United States Tag Team Champions, the Midnight Express (Beautiful Bobby Eaton on the left and Sweet Stan Lane on the right. If you somehow haven’t seen them before….egads man get out of this thing and go watch one of the best teams of all time.), on the way to the ring for a non-title Skywalkers (scaffold) match. Jim Cornette and his bodyg..

WATCH: WrestleMania Openers Throughout The Years

It’s how you start the show. WrestleMania has one of the deepest histories of any wrestling show of all time. The event began all the way back in 1985 and even today, when the show is going to be nothing compared to its usual self, WWE is likely going to have something out there to make the event feel special. A lot of that comes down to video and that is where WWE is going today. Whether they meant to or not, WWE turned their opening video packages into great history lessons about their upcoming shows. The videos do a great job of recapping stories and showing you why you are here. That wasn’t always the case though as some of the earlier videos were more about reminding you that you were watching WWE. A look back could be interesting and WWE has you covered. Let’s get it started. Check out WWE’s latest countdown: WWE has released a countdown of every WrestleMania intro of all time in order from the first event through the most recent, with WrestleMania 35. The videos also include..
