12. Josh Matthews Tries (And Fails) To Sell The Importance Of The Open Mic Challenge

Hyperbolic commentary is nothing new to wrestling, but Josh Matthews took it to the next level this week, by making a desperate attempt to make the Open Mic Challenge feel like it actually had some importance. After Mr. Anderson defeated Bram, Matthews said, "What a launching point this could be for Mr. Anderson's career here on Impact Wrestling", as though this is some unforgettable hallmark in his career, though Josh missed a trick by not saying "turning point" instead. Plus, it makes Anderson sound like some young buck on the rise, which is a much more apt description for his opponent. Between this and once again erroneously claiming that #TurningPoint was trending worldwide on Twitter, Matthews is totally shameless. Wishing for the "good 'ol days" of Don West yet?
