9 Ups & 3 Downs From IMPACT Wrestling (27 May)
6. The Streak Is Over
What made this multi-knockout tag team match stand out was that there were few moving parts. There wasn’t a section where everyone came in and hit their signature moves, nor was there a moment where the majority of people gathered at ringside for a dive.
It wasn’t a great match per se, but it was different, at least. That’s enough in these situations.
Used to build a clear path to Deonna Purrazzo and Rosemary’s Knockouts Championship match at Against All Odds, the two sides crafted a decent bout. Highlights included Havok laying waste to the majority of the heel opposition that included her booting the crap out of Kimber Lee and Susan, some solid teamwork from Jordynne Grace and Rachael Ellering, and Susan inadvertently tossing a shoe at Fire N Flava, resulting in those three, alongside Kimber, fighting amongst each other at ringside.
Rosemary’s Wing Clipper to Deonna Purrazzo marked ‘The Virtuosa’s’ first pinfall loss since Bound For Glory last October(!). That’s a credible feat, made better only by the fact it went down in a decent contest. Less of Tenille Dashwood trying to become full-time partners with Ellering, though.
