Himanshu’s TNA Impact Review 11.20.27  

Hey there, TNA fans! It’s Thursday, and that means it’s time for another episode of TNA iMPACT! I’m Himanshu (you can follow me on Twitter @Himanshu_Doi) and you know how this works. Tonight on iMPACT, a beloved TNA tradition returns this Thursday. Ryan Nemeth, Brian Myers, Mance Warner, Trey Miguel, Eric Young, and The Home Town Man collide in the chaotic Thanksgiving Turkey Bowl — where the loser must wear the infamous turkey suit.

As a reminder, the GoFundMe for Larry’s daughters is still active, and if you can make a donation, that would be awesome. Thank you so much to everyone who’s done so thus far.

6.6
The final score: review Average
The 411
As expected, not a whole lot in terms of advancing current storylines on the show. The theme across the show was more about Ryan Nemeth with him losing the Thanksgiving Turkey Bowl match and having to wear the turkey suit, then having a problem with Christmas and facing Krampus, and finally getting booked in an 8-man tag team match at the end of the show, all while still wearing the turkey suit. Unless you enjoy some silly comedy, a mostly skippable show. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
