The final score: review Amazing
The 411
First of all, I want to thank Impact Wrestling for not breaking out that Turkey Suit bullshit again, and I really mean that. Secondly. The wrestling here was largely BAD (Page & Mack was actually really good)… BUT, it didn’t have to be good. It would have been nice, added bonus, but to me, this wasn’t a show about star ratings or deep analysis, it was a one off themed show to run Thanksgiving week, and quite honestly a breath of fresh air. It was completely ridiculous at times and I mean that as a compliment. If you’re going to do a show like this, you have to lean into it 1000% and they did that here. They captured the vibe and feel of an 80s show, the talent was great in their various roles and looked as if they were having a great time with this. It likely felt like a night off in some ways. Impact Throwback Throwdown 2019 was as ridiculous as it was awesome, with tributes to the past (Dusty/Flair, Watts & The Russians) and likely dozens of other small things that weren’t as noticeable. This show was honestly the most fun I’ve had watching a show in ages, and a homerun overall. I almost want a sequel next year, but I fear that they’ll never be able to live up to this. This show fucking ruled.
