I’ll miss your energy, but I know you’ll be great wherever you may roam. My gratitude forever!!!”
According to her IMDb page, Pepperman started her daytime career in 1998 as a coordinating producer at “One Life to Live.” In 2000, she joined“As The World Turns” as an associate director before becoming a full-time director at the series from 2004 until its conclusion in 2010.

Silas Young has been a fixture in Roh for the better part of the past eight years and is a two-time former World Television Champion. Fred Yehi spent those same eight years competing on the independent circuit and has never stepped inside an Roh ring. While their careers have taken different paths, both men are more than capable of making a deep run in the tournament. Young has a well-deserved reputation for being a tough-as-nails brawler who’s not unwilling to take short cuts.

It appears as if former RoH booker and Nwa World Heavyweight Champion Adam Pearce will be returning to RoH after a four year hiatus, as RoH released a YouTube video today to announce his return.
Pearce will appear at Death Before Dishonor Xii weekend, participating in both the Chicago and Milwaukee shows. The 36-year old Pearce spent five years with RoH, from 2005 through 2010.
A five-time Nwa World Heavyweight Champion, Pearce last appeared for RoH in 2010, where after wrestling he served as a booker. In August of that year he was replaced as booker, due to what he called a “difference in ideology.” Following the departure, Pearce continued to make his living on the independent circuit and the Nwa.
Pearce appeared in Tna in March and April of 2013 as he participated in their Gut Check Challenge, defeating Magno. Despite winning the match, Pearce was eliminated from the competition...

There’s a saying that everything is bigger in Texas and that proves to be true on this weeks impact from Corpus Christi, Texas. We even had the opening shown which never happens, usually on television. And to prove that, Hogan wants to talk to Hardy about his Full Metal Mayhem later tonight.
The action begins with the tag team title match two out of three falls as Austin Aries and Bobby Roode battle Hernandes and Chavo. The expectation at least in my opinion, is when two out of three falls happens it’s expected to have a long match. However, the first two falls of this match happened within the first five minutes. So why have the stipulation in the first place? If you don’t have time for it, why do it? That being said, the match was solid and everybody worked hard. It just felt very expedited.

Last week, I made a point of saying that building to Corpus Christi, Texas next week which shortchange the audience in Jonesboro and that you had to make every impact of special. Well, this week I feel like they accomplished that more was great action, storyline building and good episode structure.
From the beginning with the opening segment as the Aces and Eights have three gifts, Mr. Anderson with a cut for Aj Styles (Everyone called it a cut in the episode and not a leather vest… I guess everyone watched their Sons of Anarchy DVD set again). A mystery envelope that Devon has saying it was.for the President of the club and his lovely bride who will have a confrontation later tonight and the Vice President D’ lo Brown has his termination letter from Tna Corporate.
The Vice President says he wants some answers and he knows somebody...

In the home of Arkansas State University, Tna came into town and delivered a show that was odd to say the least. The matches and angles themselves were a little off but what puzzled me more was the fact that they basically came out and told you at the beginning of the show the next two weeks don’t matter as they set up to big title matches for the next April 11 in Corpus Christi, Texas. When you go ahead and say a title match is coming in two weeks the audience already checks out of what you’re saying because you’re basically telling them to tune out because the next few weeks really does not matter.
Now, I know with the new pay-per-view schedule that this was going to happen, but I didn’t think they would be so blatant in like a throwaway episode of Impact in the process.
