7 Ups & 6 Downs From IMPACT Wrestling (30 March)

4. Challenge Declined

Brian Myers vs. Suicide is a match that happened. It wasn’t good and it wasn’t bad. It merely existed.

The Suicide character is a shell of its former self. Like, seriously, it’s about time IMPACT management canned it. When he first debuted over a decade ago, he was one of the hottest things in the company. Now, though? It feels like a parody of itself.

It didn’t help that he just isn’t the best wrestler now, regardless of who’s under the mask (both TJP and Kaleb With A K have reportedly played this incarnation of the character). A slight error on a Suicide headscissors early on saw the former X Division Champion already on the mat before Myers had done his flip bump sell. That’s a minor grievance with the match. Myers, after dominating for the majority of the contest, hit the Roster Cut for the win.

Having him decline Matt Cardona’s challenge to a match after the bell also wasn’t the best move, but hey, IMPACT have to drag this out to Rebellion, so unfortunately, we’re in for the long run here.
