This past Friday IMPACT aired an EPIC broadcast. This was easily the Impact of the year, and perhaps the best show they have put forward in the last two years.
It had literally almost everything one would want from a wrestling show: Limited Promos, beat downs, returns, titles on the line, blood, sweet, tears, hard hitting matches and it opened with a Last Man Standing match! The only thing missing was Austin Aries, and the show was so good it didn’t even need him!
From top to bottom this show was near perfect. Bobby Roode faced off against Eric Young in a great last man standing match, which saw both men rise up from pile drivers. Roode won the match, but I doubt Young will let the feud die here.
Drew Galloway entered the ring for the second time, this time against MVP. He was dominating when the BDC ran in, beat him down and left him bloody at ring side. Is this a quick end to the ‘chosen one,’ or will this just fuel him even more to fight for wrestling?
Magnus finally returned to face Bram in a brutal hard hitting match that Magnus won by DQ due to a Bram low blow. Bram won the night though, tying Magnus up in the corner and forcing him to kiss Bram’s boot while he had Mickie James in his clutches.
This feud isn’t going to end any time soon and promises to get more violent.
Okay, the low point of this near perfect show, Robbie E versus Brooke. I like both performers, but I really don’t like intergender matches. This one wasn’t very good.
Main event, Hair versus Hair match. EC3 and Rockstar Spud put on a great main event, and we finally have seen Rockstar Spud arrive as a wrestler. He showcased what he could do in a wrestling ring, and it better not be the last time in TNA.
There was some interference, but it didn’t affect the match.
Rockstar Spud put everything on the line and almost won the match. In the end though EC3 was too much, leaving Spud a fallen, blood soaked broken shell.
EC3 never cut Spud’s hair. Instead he cut a passionate promo, praised Spud and raised Spud’s hand. A feel good moment.
Until he bloodied Spud again and left him hanging upside down in the corner. EC3 then proclaimed that the world ‘is his.’
EC3 = heel best in wrestling.
Final thoughts: More shows of this caliber please!
IMPACT OF THE NIGHT: The entire show. But to choose one moment it would be, Magnus kissing Bram’s boot – because that is going to have long term impact.
LOW POINT OF THE NIGHT: Intergender Match.
MATCH OF THE NIGHT: Hair v Hair, EC3 v Rockstar Spud.
WRESTLER OF THE NIGHT: Rockstar Spud.
RATING: 9
