11 Ups & 2 Downs From IMPACT Wrestling (14 Oct)
El Phantasmo advances, Christian Cage tells all, Chris Sabin vs. Chris Bey rules, and more!
IMPACT Wrestling is in the sweet spot right now.
They've just come off a successful Knockouts Knockdown on Saturday evening, which seems to have received mostly positive reviews, and now they've got Bound For Glory going down a week on Saturday (23 October). That's going to rule.
Last night's IMPACT, the penultimate episode before BFG delivered in the places it needed to, delivering two barnburners from the X Division as Chris Sabin vs. Chris Bey and El Phantasmo vs. Rohit Raju vs. Willie Mack are must-watches, plus they established Savannah Evans as a formidable force. She won the Monster's Ball on Saturday, defeated Lady Frost here, and was then handpicked by Deonna Purrazzo to battle Mickie James in Mickie's first IMPACT contest in six years next Thursday.
As for the World Title? That story between Christian Cage and Josh Alexander was advanced via empty arena, sitdown interview with Josh Mathews that superbly got Christian over as a bit of an egotistical showoff while Josh is taking on the role of the underdog that people would like to see win the big one, but he just might not have it.
Oh, and Minoru Suzuki is debuting soon.
Yeah.
It's an intriguing time for the company. Let's get to it...
