If you want positive vibes only for your promotion, then don't go out of your way to book Glenn Gilbertti. It really is as simple as can be. Without a shadow of a doubt, he's one of the worst case scenarios in terms of the older guys being brought back to Impact.

The artist formerly known as Disco Inferno was, for whatever reason, featured on Impact programming in the first half of 2019, typically seen as being nothing more than sexist. There's absolutely nothing wrong with doing intergender wrestling - of course there's not. However, when one of the participants involved is being derogatory towards the opposite gender, there's just no place for it, especially not when it's happening in one of the world's most well-known promotions.

Everything he did during his time on-screen was entirely tedious. The fact he actually won a knockouts Battle Royal remains one of the worst things about the company during 2019, so we can only thank Tessa Blanchard for defeating him at the end of May. He's not been seen since - let's keep it that way for good.
