3 Ups & 2 Downs From This Week's Impact Wrestling (Feb 15)

1. Make A Decision

Eli Drake has a weird relationship right now with hardcore wrestling. For months now, he's been on a mission to rid Impact of any relations to that particular style of grappling, meaning he's had run-ins with the likes of Tommy Dreamer and Abyss. He's in a new programme now with the deranged Eddie Edwards, and has started to use Kenny the kendo stick himself.

A common theme of this column in recent weeks has been calling Drake a hypocrite. By seeing him use the weapon, it adds fuel to the fire that he is indeed a trickster. He wants us to believe one thing, before then doing the complete opposite. The main thing to take away from this week's usage of Kenny is that he used it on Edwards himself during the Team Impact vs. Team AAA bout. All this time, your writer thought they were going to be teaming together. Alas, it's not to be.

There's no doubt that an Eli Drake vs. Eddie Edwards rivalry will be excellent, but please let Eli stop being a bigot towards hardcore wrestling. Either he likes it, or he doesn't.
