12 Ups & 4 Downs From Impact Wrestling Hard To Kill 2021

9. Defining The Draw

A rather standard Sami Callihan promo on the Countdown To Hard To Kill pre-show saw 'The Draw' interrupt pre-show analysts Scott D'Amore, Madison Rayne, and Jon Burton to essentially say what he typically says in marquee match situations. After the pay-per-view, people will only be talking about his and Eddie Edwards' Barbed Wire Massacre, as opposed to the hotly-anticipated main event.

While a typical promo from the former World Champion, where he spoke about his past experiences worldwide in these types of matches, it makes sense. It's the case more often than not where the buzz surrounding Impact Wrestling will be predominantly aimed towards the Sami Callihan section of the show, regardless of what else has occurred on the show. On a night that also features the Impact in-ring debut of AEW World Champion Kenny Omega, fans are still speaking about 'The Callihan Death Machine'.

What made this a tad better was that rather than the three analysts throwing to a pre-taped Sami Callihan promo, 'The Draw' instead hacked into the broadcast. This is what separates his promos from everyone else's.
