10 Impact Vs. New Japan Matches We Need To See
4. Eric Young Vs. Minoru Suzuki
Eric Young. Minoru Suzuki. No rules. It writes itself.
Again, this wouldn't be a savvy technical classic as the duo are a combined 93-years old (!), but it doesn't need to be. You can very easily just have them chop the ever-living sh*t out of each other, have them get all their signature offence in, and call it a day. Simple as that.
The form 'EY' has been on since returning to Impact programming at Slammiversary has seriously been some of the best work of his career. Several years of pent-up frustration from his mistreatment in WWE allowed him to execute what your writer would class as Impact's greatest act in 2020. 'The World Class Maniac', very simply, redefined himself.
By squaring him up against a guy like Minoru Suzuki, you're essentially creating magic. You know that both men are known for their often over-aggressive nature in-ring, and their facial expressions are always more than enough to convey a captivating story for the viewer. They go together like bread and butter.
There probably isn't much time left to tick this one off the list either; the Suzuki-gun man turns 53 on 17 June. Who knows if he'll ever retire, though. He's Minoru f*cking Suzuki.
