8 Ups & 6 Downs From Impact Wrestling (Sep 29)
6. Rich Is Ready
If there's one thing Impact do incredibly well, it's a video package. That was the case this week as Rich Swann took us behind the scenes of his preparation for Bound For Glory, with the former X Division Champion doused in sweat as he worked on rebuilding his ankle back to the level of a World Champion.
It was a relatively short segment, but every single moment meant something. The sweat pouring off him as he lifted weights showed his dedication, while his doctor claiming Swann was there at the opening and closing times of the gym showed his determination to be at peak performance for Eric Young.
Again, it wasn't anything too special, but these sorts of vignettes never fail to add hype to Impact's marquee matches. Swann vs. Young was already off the charts in terms of its build heading into the pay-per-view, and it's partly because of packages such as this. Props to Impact's video production team here.
