11 Ups & 4 Downs From Impact Wrestling No Surrender 2021

7. Black Taurus Is F*cking Amazing

The heading says it all. Black Taurus is a truly outstanding talent.

He teamed with new Decay pals in Rosemary and Crazzy Steve to defeat XXXL and Tenille Dashwood, and boy, did he stand out in every way possible. The AAA regular has everything needed to be a successful wrestler; the charisma, the look, the in-ring arsenal. Seeing him enter the arena with the Decay visuals goes together perfectly. When he starts flying about the ring, though, is when you realise just how good he truly is.

While an overall fun match to kick off the event, the bout was marred in places by some needless comedic moments. Acey Romero's dramatic fall after being green misted and Tenille Dashwood waving a red flag in front of Black Taurus were extremely unnecessary, particularly the latter. Taurus was a bit too good, thankfully, and so you forget about these moments by the time the second bell sounded to end the bout.

Fingers crossed Taurus is sticking around with Impact for the foreseeable future. He's a genuine asset to the company, and will easily help both Rosemary and Steve rise to the top of the card.
