5 Ways IMPACT Wrestling Is Outclassing The Competition Right Now

As the headline suggests, IMPACT Wrestling are on a completely different level right now.

It's been that way ever since Scott D'Amore and Don Callis were appointed the Executive Vice Presidents in late 2017. The pair have literally changed the face of the company that, not long before this, was essentially on its way out of business. In short, there almost wasn't an IMPACT Wrestling for D'Amore and Callis to take over.

The changes they've made to the former Total Nonstop Action are surreal; from the mass roster changes to the way they handle said talents to the way they build and create legitimate must-see storylines out of the most basic concept imaginable, Scott and Don made IMPACT Wrestling a place to actively enjoy professional wrestling again.

Even with just D'Amore in charge now, the company is thriving immensely. There's typically at least one genuine must-see match from each weekly episode, often three to four if it's a pay-per-view. Top names like Sami Callihan and Jordynne Grace are re-signing, proving that IMPACT is a viable contender on the market again. Kenny Omega is their World Champion, for crying out loud.

IMPACT Wrestling is delivering some of its greatest content right now, some of which they're doing miles better than the competition...

Kiera Hogan and Tasha Steelz went from just two other knockouts to the Knockouts Tag Team Champions in under a year.

Madman Fulton became actively enjoyable to watch alongside Ace Austin, having been deemed another WWE castoff upon his IMPACT debut.

Josh Alexander, while already a familiar name to diehard indie wrestling stans, has been catapulted to new heights as X Division Champion, being the face of that division as it undergoes a mass revamp.

Deaner, Jake Something, Rohit Raju, Chris Bey, Trey Miguel, Rachael Ellering, Decay, Havok, and countless others are now becoming more recognisable to promoters and fans alike - some were already approaching that level on their own - through association with IMPACT Wrestling.

The point here is that WWE could never do this with so many talents at once. On Raw alone, Angel Garza has considerably dropped down the card compared to where he stood this time last year. Keith Lee went from a dominating figure in NXT to being a nobody on the main roster. Ricochet, T-BAR, and the Viking Raiders all suffered the same fate.

While AEW have managed to achieve such a thing - to a certain extent, at least - they haven't done this with so many names at a time. Shawn Spears, for example, spent his early AEW days clawing for anything meaningful prior to becoming a Pinnacle member.

This applies to an abundance of his fellow roster members.
