Impact Bound For Glory 2018: Every Match Ranked From Worst To Best

By Jack Pooley / October 15, 2018

2. Impact World Title: Austin Aries (c) Vs. Johnny Impact

Result: Johnny puts Aries away with a second Starship Pain to win the strap (21:03).

Rating: This was insanely intense from minute one and a very solid, athletically contested main event, so it's a bit of a shame all anyone wants to talk about is that absurd finish, where Aries no-sold the loss and walked straight out of the ring.

If it was a work it's a terrible, WCW-style Russo-tier way to undermine Johnny's win, while if Aries went into business for himself, well, it confirms pretty much everything we've ever heard about him being a pain to work with.

Still, 99% of the match was very well-executed and fell just a hair short of being great, in conjunction with that utterly baffling ending. 7/10
