4 Ups & 2 Downs From Last Night's Impact Wrestling (Aug 30)
Downs...
2. All Aboard The Gravy Train
If you forgot that Eli Drake is a former World Champion in Impact, you're not alone. Since losing the championship to Austin Aries, Eli has fallen down to the bottom of the pack. Shameful booking from Impact.
ReDefined saw him easily defeat a local lad by the name of Brandon Tidwell, pinning him after his signature Gravy Train. This is a massive step down for him considering this time last year he was just beginning his reign with the Global Championship as it was then known. At this stage, it would be no shock to see Drake follow in the footsteps of former Rising team mates Drew Galloway (McIntyre) and Micah (now Tanga Loa) and leave the company.
It had been reported earlier this year that WWE were interested in signing the 'Master of Dummies'. Maybe now's the time for it to happen.
