I live relatively close to Windsor so it’s kind of my home promotion, at least whenever they’re in town. Already have tickets to Sacrifice in March.

Grace had a good showing and a memorable elimination, so that’s about as good as we could have hoped for I think.

Nice! I'm just north of the GTA. There's a bunch of us Canucks here on Kbin. You, me, Geek, Cupcake.

Agreed. She looked great. And commentary did a good job of making her seem like a big deal.

Happy to be part of the Canuck contingent!

Commentary did a great job of selling Grace’s importance and that’s almost better than her actual showing in the ring. Very pleased with her performance and happy to see TNA/WWE being chummy. I feel like Scott D’Amore is very well respected in the industry and is arguably the best booker right now solely given what he’s working with compared to others. HBK is probably second, just due to getting so much out of raw talent.

I agree about D'amore. I've said it in a few threads--the guy deserves to be Booker of the year or at the very least in the damn conversation.

And it's almost looking like TNA/WWE might have a partnership similar to AEW/NJPW. Probably won't be doing any joint PPV's soon but at least swapping talent here and there.

Honestly the wrestling world just works better when wrestlers can pop in here and there for a random match or three.

Tellum, I feel that I must apologise for previously implying you were a Yankee.

Sorry about that old chap.

Totally understandable. Us 'Nucks and 'Yanks often look and sound the same.
