10 Reasons Why You Need To Watch IMPACT Wrestling Right Now
10. Slammiversary
Indeed the most timely reason to give IMPACT a chunk of your time, Slammiversary is shaping up to be an honest coup de grace on the company's calendar.
Boasting a stacked card that contains two genuine dream matches and a cavalcade of assorted excellence further down the line, Slammiversary '23 has real potential, though the build hasn't been without egregious transgressions; Steve Maclin, for instance, should be entering as the World Champion. He's been a red-hot talent since his IMPACT arrival in 2021, bubbling on the verge of can't-miss perfection whose in-ring work has been outshone only by his vocal skills - but he doesn't need the World Championship.
That IMPACT has managed to give Maclin the World Championship stint his two-year stint desired while slowly building a different arc for him on their biggest/second-biggest card of the calendar is reason enough to illustrate IMPACT's carefully mapped-out planning for Slammiversary.
Slammiversary, recently, has had its esteemed lineage restored, with each pay-per-view dating back to 2018 being of significance to a degree, be it through a dream match factory or the promise of several WWE castoffs coming into the group - but Slammiversary 2023 is already esteemed purely on the basis of the prudent attention put forth by Scott D'Amore. There isn't a match - so far... - that you're questioning the legitimacy of, such is the style D'Amore operates under.
