6 Ups & 4 Downs From This Week's Impact Wrestling (Jun 21)

3. Why Squash Ace?

Ace Austin is someone who could be a huge name in the X Division if given the correct opportunities. While he's had a handful so far, the new Double A still isn't at that elite level. Sadly, it's impossible for that to happen when he's essentially being used as enhancement talent.

He demanded anyone from the backstage area to come out and face him, bringing out a returning TJP in the process. The match was a short one that was basically dominated by TJP for the whole time. Ace got in a few moves at the start, and that was it really. A Detonation Kick put an end to Ace's night as TJP celebrated his return to Impact in style.

In the long-term, what's Ace Austin going to be used for? Will he ever receive the big break in Impact that he's proven to be deserving of, or will he just be used to lose to the new talent being brought in? Who knows, maybe next week he'll be suffering a loss at the hands of Enzo Amore. Either do something meaningful with him, or don't have him there. He's far too good of a talent to be wasted.
