Impact's 'Who Shot John E. Bravo?' - Every Suspect Ranked
Who ruined the wedding of the century between John E. Bravo and Rosemary?
Two weeks ago marked the much-anticipated wedding between John E. Bravo and Rosemary on a special Halloween-themed edition of Impact Wrestling, a wedding that ended in controversy. It was a wrestling wedding, after all. It was never going to go according to plan.
However, no-one could have predicted what would have happened to the groom at the conclusion of the ceremony. The lights cut out, a bang was heard, and we came back to see Bravo laid out on the canvas, having been shot at his own wedding.
Madness.
Now, Impact are making a huge storyline out of it, as should always be the case when beginning a supernatural angle like this. Keep in mind, Impact are the promotion that made use of the Undead Realm in recent times, as we saw Allie literally killed off by the company when she signed with All Elite Wrestling last year. Who else can say they left a promotion through murder?
Detective Tommy Dreamer, in full Sherlock Holmes gear of course, is on the case to save Scott D'Amore the hassle of investigating it himself. 'The Innovator of Violence' has narrowed his case down to ten potential suspects, ranging from the wedding party to the minister to the bride herself.
Some have real reasons to have shot Bravo, others have minor issues with the groom, and some have no reason whatsoever...
10. Larry D
When the ten suspects Tommy Dreamer had narrowed his investigation down to were revealed, it was quite surprising to see Larry D in the bunch. Granted, he did very nearly steal Rosemary's heart away from Bravo in Wrestle House, but that was technically when he was under some sort of spell cast on him by 'The Demon Assassin' that saw him transform into Lawrence D.
In terms of the Larry D persona, all he's done to the former rogue referee is punch him in the jaw during the Call Your Shot Gauntlet Match. A simple punch. It didn't even knock him out.
Is that all Dreamer is using to justify Larry as a potential shooter?
If Bravo had been shot nearer the time of the whole Lawrence D schtick, then it would have certainly warranted the possibility of the XXXL member being included in the suspect lineup. Seeing as it's not the case, though, it's a safe bet he can be ruled out, and return to tag team competition with Acey Romero.
Chances of being guilty: Highly unlikely, unless Lawrence D makes a comeback
