If you're interested in attending Turning Point 2023 in Newcastle please email shuvitsquad@gmail.com to register your interest. I'm just trying to get an idea on numbers, if any! Anyway here's another two episodes of Impact Wrestling. A show which I really want to love but it's not easy! This week featured the murder of Tommy Dreamer and the debut of Vladimir Kozlov in the Impact Zone! A completely random debut for the former WWE man.

Man, you have the best Fans. This is the most civilized comment section on YT.
Hahaha yes I know! It’s great isn’t it. That’s why I dont care if I don’t do Whatculture numbers because I can just be me and not pander. The squad is the greatest, just normal cool chilled out people.
@@Markyd123wokeculture can suck it
You can screw right off with your "civilized" Crap, you Sissy'fied Tweety Bird.😤
Haa! Just kidding, it really does generally seem to be nice in the comment section of most of the channel. I'm glad I discovered it almost a year ago, MarkyD really rounds out the Wrestling content I tend to watch. Between MarkyD, Cultaholic, WhatCultur and Wrestling Bios I pretty much have whatever I'm interested in covered. I also check out Wrestlelamia aswell but MarkyD, Cultaholic and Wrestling Bios are my 3 top Wrestling content sources on the internet.
😄👍
@@Markyd123I didn’t even know whatculture before this comment but after a quick glance you do bigger numbers anyway lol
@@akame2937no he doesn’t. i mean maybe just from wrestling but whatculutre has like 5 channels for some reason.
Vladimir Kozlov is finally back in the wrestling world!!! If only it was in WWE but, glad to see him back.
bet he got the job because of Santino
If impact presented themselves like Lucha Underground and became a more serious product they would be must watch
I wouldn't say LU was a serious product it was very silly. But they did have a clear identity which is why people still speak fondly of it.
@@Markyd123 Which is why we still love the six sided ring era
Lucha U was special
Lucha Underground and "serious" don't go together.
Lucha Underground was run by literal production titans. Impact is run by Scott D'amore. Skill difference.
If a promotion is using Tommy Dreamer on top in 2023, that’s an issue.
Unfortunately he still cuts a better promo than most 😂
@@Markyd123 It's a kind similiar situation with doubleJ years prior, isn't it? xD Both well past their prime holding titles instead of younger talent because it would lower the "quality" of the champion right? :D
Exactly
@@Markyd123sad truth
@@summoningfiststoheavenjj doesn’t have a prime he’s the original miz
I've always said rosemary was the modern day daffney. Which is why i really wanted her to succeed. She was fun, and unique and entertaining to watch. A damn shame what they're doing with her now.
Yea I get the same. I think she’s old and her body is broken now.
@@Markyd123rosemary hasn't been the same person in the ring since that clown playing sexy star broke her arm for no reason in Mexico a few years back
RIP Daffney 😞 she was my favorite female wrestler in TNA
@@fifedogg511 *played, who's currently under the Sexy star character is a different person now.
@@HJozteldrasfurion yes the person under the Sexy Star name now is a completely new person
Vlad looking like a John Wick villain since his double double E days.
I hate to admit it but the "what's ______ doing in the Impact Zone" joke never gets old to me.😅
The funny thing is that this video will likely get more views than the highlights that Impact put on their YT page.
More like sad
@@marcohavokkhaosgo look at there views dude most get at least 100,000 views hell they was getting more UA-cam views than aew at one point
"Just when things are bad, here's Eddie Slapnut Edwards" 😂
Impact hasn’t had a clear direction of where they wanna go or what type of product they want to present since like 2008-2009, it’s all just content, they just go with the flow of the industry.
Impact is like that 1 family member. Hes not perfect by any means, but he's always there, for better or worse lol
Stick a fork in Tommy Dreamer, he's done 🤣🤣🤣
Ha.....that was obvious but still gold
Kozlov's a name I have not heard of in a while. Welcome back, Kozlov!
I also would want to attend Turning Point 2023...but I live in Hawaii and lack teleportation powers, so I'm outta luck on that one!
I love the good old what's " name he never used in WWE " doing in the Impact Zone?
The fact that Tommy Dreamer holds any form of gold in 2023 absolutely blows my mind. Did he do a Zach Ryder and make it up himself, or is that a legit Impact acknowledged title?
Legit
Impact must be incredibly desperate. No way he should be getting any kind of push in 2023.
yeah i mean i respect dreamer and all but he got the ecw world title reign at the end. he should only be working backstage or putting over young talent at this point. he shouldn;t have a title and yeah the crying is a bit overplayed. even if it's genuine its like man enought already lol
To be fair, it's not even their midcard belt, this is their lowcard championship. Not much to get upset over.
@@doodtheman2508 true i am not upset the title is mainly a joke belt not as bad as 24/7 but just a notch above. so kind of their tv title with a modern name
Random monsters balls always happen at Bound For Glory
A Badger with Typhoid???😂😂🤣🤣
Give Kaz the world title. Wouldn't hurt anything given how this company is these days
I love the return of The NWA-TNA Smack of the Week. I'm now a mark for The Albino Harry Potter.
They need to remember the Asylum days and embrace what helped it grow in the first place.
Dreamer definitely pulled that fork out later and used it to eat his supper
I miss Rosemary and her spooky stuff. That at least was entertaining. Not much going on right now in Impact.
She was my favorite to watch and now it's all numb
@@JoeChillton Shocked to see she dropped her Spooky gimmick. I loved it. Yep, this show is hard to watch now. They were doing good for a while there.
If I lived in England, I would definitely send you a mail haha. This show needs some damn storylines though. Much of today's wrestling is open challenges and matches just to see which wrestler is better. The writers definitely need to check out some episodes from 2007 to see how things should really be done.
Kozlov Santino team up back in the day was kinda fun
Anjelico is still in AEW; I think he's mostly doing Spanish commentary with Dr. Luther and Serpentaco (they're all known as the Spanish Announce Project, which annoyed that Spanish Announce Table tag team who don't have any personality). He wrestles occasionally though.
Thats MSK/Rascalz finisher. It's an assisted moonsault and sick AF
The first time you see it, it is pretty cool. Problem is past that original okay that’s different pop it’s not believable at all, not only does it look weak but it’s honestly not that impressive when compared to other high flying lesser impact moves. They needed a new finisher years ago, with trey and zach reuniting being the perfect opportunity to do or even Reed and Trey on the indies while zach was still in the fed.
Don’t get me wrong they should definitely keep it in their arsenal as it is a unique move that requires comparatively little effort, but it should not be how they end matches instead transitioning it to a normal tag team manoeuvre/signature.
Markyd, can I know what background music you used in the beginning of Tasha Vs Killer Kelly?
i love how sarcastic the titles can be sometimes lol
Impact wrestling; proof that wrestling promotions, no matter how terrible or poorly managed, CAN NEVER FUCKING GO OUT OF BUSINESS.
About the Steelz/Purrazzo partnership, the week after Impact 1000 there was a segment where Deonna and Tasha decided to form an alliance. Yes thats not a good enough build up for a team thats challenging at Bound for Glory but it wasnt as random as Deonna randomly coming out during a match
Also omg agreed about Trinity and Mickie. This is a world title match and you dont have them appear at all? Like whats going on lol
From what I understand Steve is legit legally blind, but it's more that he can't see clearly than can't see at all. Not sure if he should be driving though.
Killer Kelly representing my country. I have to start watching impact just for her
She's awesome
I agree with Marky here Impact is now a Glorified Indy Promotion with a TV deal
15:18 go a chuckle out of me for some reason.
Impact pulling out the big guns with Kozlov 🤣
Wouldn't mind see the Hawks impressions of LU, ring ka king style
Yea I considered doing that. It felt a bit lazy for some reason. Like it’s too obvious
Angelico is still around, he mostly sticks to jobbing for AEW/ROH, he was on the internet only Dark and Dark Elevation shows a good amount but since those got cancelled he's made an occasional appearance on Rampage.
You should still go to the show and give it a shot. What’s on tv and what happens live could be two different things.
15:23 Thats Havok but shes been this new character for a while now.
"Courtney Rush is apparently a homeless crackhead" got a legit lol out of me. Cheers Markyd123
17:38 Can we possibly get a compilation of these please 🙏🏽
Hahahah they’re pretty much in every nwa tna review accept my last couple because I was short on time.
@@Markyd123 ahh no worries man just keep em coming next time. Really fun to watch👏🏽
Keep up the hustle man you are entertaining i love your videos and your commentary
you're 100% right about the women's division. I like rosemary because she's entertaining off the show on social media. and I personally thinks she's fire lol (I may be a minority on this )
but I guess no one else does lol
She used to be fire
"I love Double-Double E" - Vladimir Kozlov
Man I feel really bad for former Rosemary. She was one of their most popular female wrestler on the roster and now she's jobbed out to whoever that is and pretty much seems like they got nothing for her.
I think and I may be wrong…but her body has broken down and she can’t do so much anymore. But she should be doing character stuff because that’s where she can make an impact.
@@Markyd123 That's very hard to read. If anything watching her now only make me miss the old Decay and especially Rosemary more and keep thinking that she was more than what she's been doing nowadays. Cheers MarkyD123!
Scott Duhmore deserves a punch to the gut and a kick to the slash zone for the atrocious booking of Rosemary.
@@damiendemento9852 Jajajajajaja
@@Markyd123you are spot on. She isn't young anymore and she had both knees done and forgot but it was both acl or MCL.....I forget but she had major reconstruction on both and a shoulder done as well if I'm not mistaken
Oh lord the return of the 'NWA/TNA Smack of the Week'.
Dreamer teaching a blind person to drive?!?!?!?!?!?!..ECW !ECW!ECW!...
MARKYD thanku for making me laugh whilst igo through some personal crap🙏💯means alot n its a gift you hav got.Your channel about all things wrestling is informative and funny at the same time and you smash it MARKYD👊
NWA Impact Hahahahahhahaha love the smack of the week
I’m liking everything I’m seeing from Killer Kelly
Absolutely
Shelley/Alexander and ABC/Rascalz have had story for more than a few weeks. Hell the Shelley/Alexander feud has been boiling since Alexander came back from injury
Tommy Dreamer is embarrassing. He was barely tolerable in his physical prime. Now he can barely move
Indeed. I'm actually kind of shocked that any major (or in this case mid-major) wrestling company would give him any TV time.
Yeah, its starting to get pitiful
Agree
How are we supposed to care about Dreamer again? Let alone Crazy Steve? Without Decay, he's just another guy with paint.
Crazzy Steve is actually one of my favorite wrestlers of today. He just needs to ditch the fork, it's goofy af
I enjoy Impact a good amount, I just wish they would ditch the silliness sometimes
Deff. They would get more eyes if they were more serious or had good story telling matches
just imagine how entertaining this show would be with dubbed in spanish voiceover.
I still think they missed the boat with Swack Jagger.
That would have been top tier
"Rhyno looks like 400 lbs of gravy"... How about Sami Callihan? He puts on 20 lbs weekly.
Bah Gawd, just bring back the signature six sided ring, I'd watch it just for the variety
I agree with your take on sami callihan he really carried the company when they needed him the most,and the fact that there letting him walk away is ridiculous,impact has fallen
Sami really did take on a large role when they needed guys. I wasn't a big fan of his when he entered, but he certainly proved himself. Probably one of their top 5 wrestlers of the past several years. Granted, I haven't kept as up to date with Impact as before.
@@willisskull2676 Same here when he first went to impact i was ok that's fine because prior i knew him off lucha underground,then the whole thing with eddie edwards and his eye he got a lot of criticism about that,but what made me a big fan of his was the feud with tessa blanchard,seeing the matches they put on,the promos they cut,it felt personal and it was great i knew then he was amazing,i heard jon moxley been talking to tony about signing him there a team on the indies so i understand
yeah he has been consistent for them for a number of years with good character work, he is friends with moxley so i could see him going to aew.
HAVE FAITH HE GETS INTO BETTER SHAPE AND STAY 🙏
@@turboturkey Me too him and moxley been tight since their czw days
Week #2 of asking Markyd to cover Edge's second WWE run for Ring of the Hawk.
It's on the list mate, I just don't like to blow through all the big videos at once.
@@Markyd123 It's okay. Take your time.
It says something when the female referee is taller than more than half of the male roster. She has more muscle on her too by the looks of it.
true and probably bigger then most of the aew roster too
Yea it says that people with normal height can be in wrestling
@@The80sWolf_ Is it too much to expect that the wrestlers hit the gym more than the referee? The ref looks like she can annihilate the wrestlers she's in the ring with.
TNA/Impact deserves better it used to be like Saint's Row against GTA as in it wasn't going to kill the giant but it was entertaining by comparison
If I could make a suggestion, come to Newcastle? Yes absolutely, I'm biased because I wanna see the Hawk squawk outside What culture HQ which is like a 10 minute walk from the venue and if you don't agree with that I'm putting you on tomorrow's menu!
I was just watched Koslov vs Undertaker least than a minute ago, is that him?!?
Yup
At 11:15 when you asked about Anjelico he’s toiling away in AEW and ROH I think he might also do AAA from time to time too but yeah
I had the same reaction to kozlov coming out i said: WHAT THE **** IS HE DOING HERE?
I worked with Jack Something a long time ago. We are from the same home town. I found out he works for TNA and I started watching again.
Jake something's really going to be something looks like the almighty Hercules
I bet Crazy Steve/ Tommy Dreamer murder segments is Tommy idea, he loves bookings some murder angle in impact, lol.
Angelico is still in AEW, very underrated, hes so talented. Good shout
You make Impact worth watching. Wish it was called TNA instead.
amen to that
@@Markyd123Angelico signed with AEW back in 2019 when AEW started
The Owner of AEW Tony Khan purchased Ring of Honor in 2022 so now Angelico is on the Ring of Honor roster and he will be challenging Eddie Kingston [The current Ring of Honor World Champion] soon for the Ring of Honor World Championship
@@Jumpshot-yb7uy ah good for him. It feels like I never see his face anywhere anymorez
@@Markyd123 Angelico TH2 music and dance is worth watching him.
@polsdofer bro, just call them Tna still anyways, majority people do, the few marks that actually go out of their way to say impact are outnumbered, eventually they'll have to embrace their true Identity lol
133k subs
I remember when the Hawk was flying to Graceland for 40,k
Makes my cold old man heart warmish
Thanks my friend. Somehow I’ve managed to keep a pretty chilled out audience which makes my life better and my job more fun so thanks!
@@Markyd123 we appreciate your service
I always wondered how a "Fan's Revenge Match" can even take place. Since wrestling shows are cautious about fan interactions during matches, I'm guessing those around the ring are told what they'll be doing.
I’m convinced some of them are company employees.
Yeah, all these dudes looked like plants. You know at least one guy would flip the script.
@@therealmikebrown10000%
Kozlov looks like a bad guy from a Jason Statham movie
Angelico is still signed to AEW being used primarily for the ROH brand.
Impact is giving Tommy Deamer, Kozlov and Santino a push in 2023. So who's next? Orlando Jordan?
Oh no 😂😊
Oh god don’t he came out of retirement last month and has already won a heavyweight title 😂
Oh man how I love the smack of the week. Get it. Got it. Shuv it
I guess his acting days are over for now, I think he’s an actor I remember I watched a video on where were these wrestlers who were released years ago and I swear he said he was doing acting or being a stunt double
So yea he’s an actor of some sort as he appeared in Fast & Furious 6/John Wick 2 and Burn Notice
He’s also a stage actor as well doing stage roles in Ukraine
There's a surprising amount of murder in Impact Wrestling
0:10 Tommy Dreamer now lookalike Terry Funk.
Ospreay is awesome. You’ll enjoy watching him.
Admittedly I didn’t watch him at all in because I was too busy running around Wembley doing interviews 😅
Ref is a baddie I wonder if she’s also a wrestler? 8:01
She certainly seems to be in decent shape and she has height.
@@Markyd123her name is Allison Leigh I’ve seen a few minutes of her Twitch steam she have a very pretty southern voice too
Her name is Allison she’s not that big she’s just in a land of smaller men. She’s very interesting from what I’ve seen on her Twitter
@@DoctorDrPepperMD does she wrestle though?
@@Markyd123based off of her Twitter she used to wrestling & do Muay Ti but now mostly just Refs & does live streaming. NGL I went deep on her “Media” on Twitter she’s got the best kind of “bad” tattoos.
I'm watching this 27.03.24 when I never knew that they came to Newcastle and i live here how did i not know😂
Angelico is a jobba in AEW 😂
Just go man, wrestling shows even if meh at best live are always fun! You already have the tickets anyways
Steve said in an interview he has something that helps him see a bit better
Dear sweet god, it amazes me how far Impact has fallen. You go back to mid 00's and see how they built themselves up, and you take a look at the roster they had going into 2010 and all the talent Hogan and Eric brought in, then after a few years it all went away. Pretty soon, most of the stars were gone, then we would see someone in the main event scene for a while then leave. I was a fan of Kozlov during his WWE run, loved his gimmick and wanted more.
I don't know what Impact's deal is now, but it doesn't feel the same. It's literally a dumping ground for WWE and AEW, or a pit stop for their wrestlers. They got a few decent guys, but from my perspective, they are wasted and have no one to feud with. Impact will just elevate anyone to the main event.
I haven't been watching Impact as much as I used to, given how depressing it's gotten. We can't say Impact didn't have it coming. From Dixie bringing in Voldemort half a dozen too many times, to Hogan and Eric spending all that money, to Dixie pissing off executives more than once, to Double J and Anthem changing it to GCW or whatever. (The less I think about that era, the better.)
Aj Styles, Sting, Kurt Angle, Abyss, The Motor City Machine Guns, Jeff Hardy, Austin Aries, Bobby Roode, James Storm, Bully Ray, the names go on. Bad Influence was on another level. At one point or another, TNA was stacked. Bobby Lashley was there for a hiccup, then by the time he came back, the damage was done. Respect to their current roster.
I'm gonna wrap this up since I'll rant forever. I'm passionate about old school Impact. Marky D always does a great job and he shares that passion for Impact. It's scary to think if AEW has already peaked like Impact did. Cheers, Impact fans. We've been through quite a ride.
Here's one last thing just to trigger some fans as a joke: Marky's favorite Rob Terry is a better worker than Kenny Omega. :)
I think rn Killer Kelly is the biggest export from Portugal so I love to see her on the Impact Zone
She’s from Portugal?????
@@Markyd123 Yes! I think she has gone to the US to pursue her Wrestling Carreer. And btw I think rn wrestling in Portugal is better than this xD
Yesssss bring on the impact cage dancers ❤🎉
Good to see the Smack of the Week, I just finished up your NWA-TNA series not long ago. Is that also someone's TNA song (like how you used Bruce and Sonny Siaki's as background)?
Nooo it’s a real song. The bomb by the bucketheads
@@Markyd123 Wow haha good to know it’s a jam!
Kozlov looks like Batista in his final match feud
'Rino looks like 400 pounds of gravy' lmfaoooo
Killer Kelly, Trinity and Deonna have plenty of sex appeal. Mickie’s gotten older but she still looks good too.
Deonna is about to leave. You can’t tell me the others have traditional appeal to the masses. Compared to a Tiffany Stratton for example.
@@Markyd123 Trinity’s got a much better body than Tiffany, and Kelly’s got a much better lower body. But if by “traditional appeal” you just mean white chick with big t**s then yeah Tiffany’s got them beat I guess.
Seeing Swan fat is something i wasn't expecting. Guy is or was in incredible shape.
Haa!

Best Impact TNA Wrestling Channel reviews and recaps
Impact's biggest advantage and disadvantage is their poisoned brand identity. It cannot grow it cannot become smaller than it is right now.
For Anthem, it's still a vanity/project where they are happy if it's profitable. They are putting on good stories for years now but they are defacto no.3 in US and people just don't have time for this much wrestling.
Which is why they should focus on a different wrestling take. Why would most people watch this over aew? It’s essentially the same thing with a worse budget. Ecw and lucha underground are fondly remembered because they had clear identities.
@@Markyd123 AEW doesn't have an identity?
@@ChrisWolff2013aew does have an identity. It’s high work rate, high flying long matches.
The booking in this match was as random as quarantine booking in wwe
Eddie Edwards - the Poundland Road Dogg.
Kozlov was a Stuntman and Actor.
He was in the #2 Film of 2017.
Wolf Warrior 2.
Heard of it?
Probably not.
I swear I saw a picture of him in incredible shape recently?
@@Markyd123he was in John wick 2
Jordan Grace is 💯 a Mark for herself
When was the last time she actually had a good match? And I'm speaking as someone who was a fan.
@@Markyd123why is Deonna Purazzo not wrestling? I seen the recent recap videos of yours and I think she only wrestled once in it
@@Markyd123 yeah she is getting too much muscle mass too. it;s like being in good shape or muscular is fine but you don;t need to look like scott steiner. lol.
@@lookingforlove839she’s about to leave impact.
