Fite TV Presents Impact Wrestling’s Hard To Kill 2023 Results & Review

Promotion: Impact Wrestling

Date: January 13, 2023

City: Atlanta, Georgia, USA

Venue: Center Stage

TV station/network: FITE TV

Commentary by: Matthew RehwoldtRaven & Tom Hannifan

Overall Show Score: 7/10

Pros: The event tonight started with a great match for the world championship and ended with a Title vs Career Championship Match as the main event. I did work out what storylines were going on in this show. Once surprises I never saw coming like Tommy Dreamer, PCO, Tara, Santino Marella, Frankie Kazarian & Raven & it was nice they did pay tribute to Don West at the beginning of the event. 

Cons: A lot of the wrestling was flippy and too quick for my liking. Some of the sounds for the moves or near falls I didn’t feel the impact of them & had a few audio problems.
