Ja’Von’s Take: When you typically think of a go home show it’s usually about getting the last bit of momentum heading into a PPV. Last night’s episode of IMPACT did just that. IMPACT is only a two hour show so not everyone can be showcased in the ring but IMPACT used tons of video packages to highlight the card for Slammiversary. The viewership may be down this week but that is too be expected for any go home show. We live in a world ruled by technology so ratings shouldn’t really matter cause if fans don’t see it on LIVE TV they’ll just catch it on YouTube. Overall last night’s show was great as we got to see an in-ring debut, learned that a new knockout will debut next week, and final hype for Slammiversary.
