4 Ups & 3 Downs From This Week's Impact Wrestling (Jan 18)

2. Waste Of Time

Scarlett Bordeaux's talent search has reached a conclusion, and the winner is... Scarlett Bordeaux?

What a complete waste of time. Her search had been going on for a number of weeks, providing some rather pointless segments, but it was still something to show. You could argue that it furthers her character as caring about no-one except herself. However, it still stands as being entirely pointless.

It coincides with WWE's recent usage of the likes of Alexa Bliss and Mandy Rose in a degrading manner. Unlike those two, Scarlett's gimmick is all about that as she proclaims to be here to make wrestling sexy again. There's plenty of other ways to develop her within Impact though, such as wrestling a match once in a while. Is Scarlett signed as a wrestler or as a personality? We've yet to see what she's capable of in the ring.

We'll have to see how this progresses into the next few weeks but as for now, the entire talent search story has been rendered worthless.
