2 Ups & 3 Downs From This Week's Impact Wrestling (Jan 25)

Downs...

3. Scarlett On Delay

It's as if Impact didn't hire Scarlett Bordeaux to be a wrestler. Despite her talent search contest having come to an end (with Scarlett herself being revealed as the winner), we're still having to wait to see Scarlett in the ring.

Fans outwith Impact know just how capable she is when she laces up her boots, so it's a real shame that Impact see her as nothing more than a pretty lady, as Otis Dozovic would put it. The word right now is Impact are looking to push towards an edgier product since their move to the Pursuit Channel, so Scarlett's character progression could be a result of this.

Nevertheless, it's disappointing to see Scarlett being held back in terms of her in-ring abilities. Who knows, she may be an incredible asset to the Knockouts division. She's set to be debuting in three weeks, so only time will tell how well she folds into the mix with the others.
