3 Ups & 2 Downs From This Week's Impact Wrestling (Sep 6)

Downs...

2. The Third Eye

The opening match of the night saw Petey Williams gain a victory over Rich Swann, a win that came after Matt Sydal distracted Swann at ringside. The artist formerly known as Evan Bourne has been trying to convert Rich to follow the Third Eye, which Swann hasn't taken too kindly. The ex-WWE Cruiserweight Champion has demanded Sydal to stay away from him.

Matt Sydal has been preaching a peaceful character for the past few months now, a character change that came out of nowhere really. One week, he was this guy that loved taking to the skies and then the next thing you know, he's calm and adhering to some sort of higher sense of enlightenment. He can sometimes be found backstage meditating, which clearly isn't doing anything to help if he's screaming advice towards Rich Swann.

This whole gimmick for Matt has been a bit pointless to be completely honest. But then again, any gimmick that involves giving Josh Mathews a championship is never going to be of much success...
