Welcome to this week’s Impact Wrestling review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and Bob Ryder, long-time Impact talent coordinator and legendary wrestling reviewer/journalist has died. Known for his love of wrestling, Ryder was a polarizing figure in professional wrestling who admitted to professional sycophancy during his run with World Championship Wrestling towards that league’s end. Ryder had been primarily known at that point for starting 1wrestling.com with Dave Scherer, which saw its end when Scherer and Mike Johnson went off to create pwinsider.com (some believe this to have happened due to major financial issues on Ryder’s end). Ryder is credited by many to have pitched the idea of Total Non-Stop Action Wrestling to Jeff and Jerry Jarrett and would eventually join the company to work with the booking of talent on the show itself. It is in this capacity that Ryder...
