This was a hot and cold episode of Impact Wrestling
#1 Worst: The bizarre ad breaks
Ad
The saga of Jimmy Jacobs and his shirt was rather confusing
I love the pairing of Josh Mathews and Don Callis. The two men have great chemistry with Mathews playing the straight man, while Callis is perhaps the best color commentator of the current era.

When the two men are by the ring, they bring a sense of seriousness and urgency to the action. But during the ad breaks when they're at home, there's an informal tone to the segments that do not appear professional.
Jimmy Jacobs tried to make things interesting by taking off his shirt and bringing in an element of humor, but somehow the whole segment failed to make a real impression. The fact that Josh Mathews was eating during a live broadcast was quite disappointing too.
As a comment on the Twitch chat said, maybe a real ad would have worked better than this!
