7 Ups & 7 Downs From Impact Wrestling (9 March)

5. Bad Match, Good Aftermath

That ODB vs. Susan main evented Impact Wrestling is a mystery. There was no coming back from Chris Bey vs. Ace Austin, especially when you have a match as dismal as this one was.

The Susan character has improved a bit since we first saw her. She's taken the gimmick and ran with it, from being utterly appalled at ODB's in-ring style to pouring out the former four-time Knockouts Champion's alcoholic beverage. A bit of a botched TKO from ODB ended the bout on a downer, but it's the aftermath we're here to talk about.

ODB was attacked from behind by Deonna Purrazzo and Kimber, who in turn were ambushed by Jordynne Grace and Jazz, who were then laid out by Fire N Flava. The sheer visual of Purrazzo, Lee, Susan, Kiera Hogan, and Tasha Steelz standing together was perfect. It's unknown at this time if the five are united full-time, but nonetheless, it made for a fantastic image.

Had the match also been good, it would have been superb.
