3. Impact Wrestling

WHAT? Many people might be yelling this at me because they love to bash a product that tends to underachieve, even with the incredible depth of talent on the roster. I was thankful to be able to watch some of the best tag team wrestling over the past 20 years. Impact Wrestling featured their strongest pieces, including a fresh and rested Matt Hardy (who is in the best wrestling shape of his career), Bully Ray (who was one of the best characters in all of 2014), and The Wolves. The Wolves got much needed exposure from 2 of the best tag teams EVER.

This series of matches really helped me invest more time and research into a product I would normally give minimal effort. Also, Matt Hardy hit a Twist of Fate onto Justin LaBar. Every fan boy should be happy and thank Mattitude adjusting the attitude of Mr. LaBar. It was so sweet and got a rise out of me.

Josh controls most of the creative writing and ideas for the show on a weekly basis, as well as an on-air talent.
Aside from working with WrestleZone, Isenberg began his career in Broadcast Journalism interning at ESPN and worked with CBS Radio for three years. He has also had the opportunity to interview some of the best athletes and performers alive, including Andrew McCutchen, Ben Roethlisberger, Chris Jericho, Billy Gunn, Karl Anderson, Matt Hardy, Steven Strasburg and others.
Currently, Josh Isenberg works for Major League Baseball in their Advanced Media Productions. He grew up in Pittsburgh and went to Point Park University, which is where Chair Shot Reality is filmed each week.
His life outside of his obsession with wrestling include being a savant for Seinfeld, NFL, NBA, MLB and many television shows. He also has an undying love for musicals, which includes many shows he was a part of in high school. Some of his favorite wrestling moments can be linked to such superstars as Edge, The Rock, Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels and The Great Khali.
