Fun show

The was a fun show that took place at the WrestleCade fan convention. Every match was fun, BUT I feel as though it didn’t add much to the overall TNA canon for 2024. Moose in the X-Division is still odd. The Knockouts match was match of the night for sure. Grace and Slamovich have such great chemistry and if Grace does indeed sign with WWE, the Knockouts division will take a hit. Josh Alexander continues to have what seems like a going away tour. I wonder what 2025 will bring to the Walking Weapon. Overall, it was a fun show.
