7 Ups & 7 Downs From Impact Wrestling (9 March)
3. A Wrestling Cliché
Shock and horror, the contract signing between The Good Brothers and FinJuice suffered the usual tropes of a wrestling contract signing as proceedings broke out into a brawl between champions and challengers.
Taking place in Scott D'Amore's office instead of the ring (an odd choice, considering the recent contract signing between Rich Swann and Tommy Dreamer was in the ring), the two sides were left to their own devices by D'Amore. Drinking shots of whiskey, the contract was signed happily, before David Finlay and Juice Robinson caused a brawl after tossing the whiskey in Doc Gallows and Karl Anderson's faces.
It wasn't the worse contract signing of all time, but it could have been far better. Impact's contract signings have a tendency to not always follow the typical tropes, as we saw from Swann and Dreamer's signing. Even then, when Moose interrupted, we didn't see a brawl, but rather a stellar Tommy Dreamer promo. Here, it just wasn't up to scratch.
