7 Ups & 5 Downs From IMPACT Wrestling Homecoming 2021

2. Oh, What Is Missy Hyatt Doing?

Missy pissing Hyatt.

Brian Myers 'teamed' with Hyatt in a genuinely questionable booking choice. Instead of partaking in the match, though, the former WCCW, WCW, and ECW star spent her time in IMPACT stood on the ring apron. Although she was tagged in for a brief period, she did nothing against neither Rachael Ellering nor Tommy Dreamer. Hyatt simply left when Brian wanted to tag her back in, leaving the former Curt Hawkins to take a Doomsday Device for the win.

What does IMPACT gain from this? Missy Hyatt hasn't been relevant since ECW shut up shop. If anything, she detracted from this severely, caring more about her appearance and the reaction she was getting than adding anything to the match. Brian Myers was capable of helping this flow well as a handicap match, selling nicely for the opposition, but ultimately, Hyatt's involvement added literally f*ck all here.

A needless backstage segment saw Missy down Sam Beale with her (presumably loaded) purse after feigning a kiss. Again, what did this add? Myers and Beale are the two full-timers; for them to not acknowledge that she was a valet rather than a wrestler leaves them looking foolish and feeble.

An honorable Up, at least, for Dreamer and Ellering being dressed as the late Road Warriors, and using their signature pinning pose.
