8 Ups & 4 Downs From Impact Wrestling (May 19)

1. Carbon Copy

Seeing as Moose vs. Suicide took place just last week, there was no real need for a rematch here. Yes, it was a cheap victory picked up by the TNA World Heavyweight Champion, however, no-one's really going to care if Suicide doesn't get retribution over Moose.

That said, their second encounter in as many weeks wasn't a bad match so to speak, but it was similar in many ways. We had 'Mr Impact Wrestling' chucking the former X Division Champion all over the place, including into the guard rail, and we had 'The Masked Man of Mystery' eventually finding the strength to lift the big man off his feet. One or two different spots isn't enough to differentiate between this match and the previous one, particularly when said spot is just repeating the same move over and over.

What made it that extra bit worse was the fact that it was another cheap victory for Moose over Suicide, rolling through a diving crossbody attempt with a yank of the tights to go out on top. The former NFL player never needs to be resorting to cheap tactic after cheap tactic, let alone when he's against a guy like Suicide. Seeing as that's now two tainted wins for Moose, there's a high chance we'll see a third sooner rather than later given the circumstances. Less of this nonsense.
