11 Ups & 3 Downs From Impact Wrestling (Feb 4)

2. Same Old, Same Old

Serious question - does Michael Elgin ever listen back to his own promos?

Everything 'Big Mike' said was essentially the exact same thing he's been repeating constantly since Hard To Kill. The Call Your Shot trophy belongs to him because Eddie Edwards 'tapped out' in their pay-per-view encounter, even though he clearly never. There's nothing wrong with repeating your key point in a promo, but if you're just going to more or less repeat exactly what you've been claiming for the past two weeks, then some issues arise.

Eddie has been the same during his own promos. Luckily, the matches the two have had together thus far have been truly wonderful, something that doesn't appear to be changing anytime soon. As long as that fact remains the same, then the rivalry will at least be watchable.
