6 Ups & 4 Downs From IMPACT Wrestling (19 August)

1. Whatever This Was Meant To Be

Talk shows in professional wrestling are typically not good.

Locker Room Talk is not good.

All About Me is not good.

Combining both shows into one is downright terrible.

In short, Madison Rayne, Tenille Dashwood, Kaleb With A K, and Johnny Swinger's skit was never going to work. For Rayne and Dashwood, this might have worked had they been in the same room at the same time, as opposed to, you know, being in the same room for separate pre-tapes. The joke is that Tenille took over Madison's set when she retired. It's not going to work now that 'The Queen Bee' is back, though.

As for Kaleb and Swinger, who knows what that was ever intended to be. 'The Swingman' made a series of comments, with the former Caleb Konley retaliating in the most mundane way imaginable. Disliking, blocking, and reporting Swinger is simply a way to fill time in the broadcast. It was never needed.

Literally, the only positive thing to come from this is that Tenille's saga to find a tag team partner can now, thankfully, end. The rest of it can get in the bin.
