Ross was dissapointed in the Monsters Ball match as he thought the match was too long and he thought Grado acted too ‘goofy’. He has the upmost respect for any competitors who roll around on tacks and assault each other with a plethora of weapons, but this match simply didn’t pan out in his opinion.
Ross says he likes the LAX act, and he thought those guys had a good match at Bound For Glory. Powell agrees and says that LAX is probably the coolest act Impact has right now. He adds that he was hesitant to get behind this group when Jeff Jarrett returned to Impact and brought back the stable, but there’s no doubt that the company found the right guys for the group and it has really taken off.
Ross says Gail Kim is a credit to the business, and he was very happy to see that Impact made the right creative decision by having her win the Knockouts Title in her final match. He does wish that the match would have had more time but it’s obvious that the show was running long, resulting in them having to cut this match and the post-match celebration significantly.
Overall, Ross didn’t have as negative a reaction to the show as Powell did, but he definitely didn’t love it either. Powell just really wants Impact to get their act together creatively. He also thinks they have their Title on the right guy, Eli Drake, but he thinks they need to work on making Drake more unique and special.
