This episode of Impact, like most was a mixed bag for me, it had some things I enjoyed, and some I did not. The open tag match was a solid affair until the run in from the champs. I have no problem with the BFG match being a triple threat. I get a real smackdown six vibe from these guys and am hoping for some exciting matchups between the various guys over the next several weeks.
Gut Check is bad. Joey Ryan is the only interesting thing to come out of it, as everyone else they have brought in has been poor to awful in it. At least it gives guys like Doug Williams the occasional match, but overall, I think it needs to go the way of the Dodo.
I really enjoy the Roode/Storms feud, but there brawl this week seemed a little lackluster. I do have faith that both guys will step it up for BFG tho. I also hope Storm gets an extended run with the big belt sooner rather than later, as he’s a rockstar for them.
Aries is gold, his line about wanting a flock of mindless sheep had me laughing my ass off. I would go far as to say that he is out punking CM Punk these days in the terms of mic work.
Tara has gone full blown heel now it seems. I’m okay with that, as she tends to work better as a heel. Tessmacher has gotten better, but they really need someone fresh in that division. If they put the belt on Tara, I think I could get behind a her/ODB feud. Brooke Hogan on the other hand needs to go away and never come back.
The less said about Aces and Eights the better. They need a payoff for this soon, or at least some kind of big name reveal, because right now it’s dying. Of course they may have just murdered Abyss, so if that’s all that comes out of that story, it’s not a total wash.
Aries vs Bully was a fun match, and the pre match verbal spar was entertaining as well. If you had told me a year ago that I would be okay with Bubba Ray in the main event I would have called you a liar, but damn if he isn’t consistently entertaining me. A solid, if somewhat by the numbers match, but it served it’s purpose. I would not be surprised if BFG’s main event ended up a three way match.
All in all a decent episode to start and finish, but with some really boring gutcheck and A&8 stuff in the middle.
