The past few weeks, Impact has really put together a great television show with interesting storylines.<\/p>\n<p>This week, I remembered that I get Pursuit Channel, so I decided to watch on Pursuit rather than Twitch. Unfortunately, on Dish Network, Pursuit isn\u2019t offered in high-definition, so I was stuck watching it in SD. That was my first gripe, but it wasn\u2019t my last &#8211; the commentary volume was super quiet and the crowd volume was way too loud. About thirty minutes into the show, this changed and commentary became audible.<\/p>\n<p>The Lucha Brothers and LAX had a great match in the main event, but in retrospect, it wasn\u2019t as good as their match at Homecoming. LAX dropped the titles, and I\u2019m interested to see what the future holds for them in the tag division. Also, it&#8217;s been a long time since we\u2019ve seen new Tag-Team champions, so this move will provide a breath of fresh air in the division.<\/p>\n<p>Where Impact really shined this week was on the undercard. Willie Mack and Rich Swann had a good match with Dave Crist and Jake Crist, of oVe. And the Women\u2019s tag match was average, even though I hate the undead realm storyline with Rosemary. Also, Rohit Raju had a good TV match with Trey that did exactly what management wanted it to do. Trey has been the main focus of the Rascalz since their arrival, and this match reinforces that statement.<\/p>\n<p>At first, I wasn\u2019t a fan of Impact running shows in Mexico, but after the last few weeks of TV, I have changed my mind. Originally, I thought the fans seemed disinterested and forced to be there, but the fans have been much better during this set of tapings. When AAA talent is used properly, like Puma King was this week, the fans are engaged. Puma King was a major babyface in Mexico and Callihan got legit heat for pinning him. This was a great match and even better booking. Hopefully, we have more great episodes of Impact like this in our near future.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>NOW CHECK OUT OTHER\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/category\/prowrestlingnews\/weekly-overviews\/\">WEEKLY OVERVIEWS HERE<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>OR JUMP TO LAST WEEK\u2019S IMPACT OVERVIEW:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2019\/02\/05\/weekly-overview-impact-wrestling-thru-2-4-top-stories-of-week-major-show-lineups-live-event-results-schedule-of-live-events-noteworthy-social-media-posts-more\/\">WEEKLY OVERVIEW \u2013 IMPACT WRESTLING (thru 2\/4): Top stories of week, major show lineups, live event results, schedule of live events, noteworthy social media posts, more<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\n<div><span id=\"m_-1716809669784399402gmail-docs-internal-guid-55958515-7fff-5621-ed48-c306485985e3\"><i>Landon Pipkin has been a pro wrestling fan for over a decade.
