9 Ups & 3 Downs From IMPACT Wrestling (27 May)

7. Fifteen Years In The Making

A vignette to build anticipation for Jake Something and Rohit Raju’s tables match next Thursday not only told a good story, but provided an actual reason for their tension.

You see, they’ve known each other for fifteen years. They got their start in IMPACT Wrestling at about the same time, but it was Rohit who was officially signed to the company first. Who did ‘The Desi Hitman’ phone as soon as he received the news? Jake Something. The only difference now is that this is a different Rohit to the one Jake originally met.

Rohit touched upon Scott D’Amore’s involvement in the story, about how he pinpointed Jake Something as an incredible performer in front of the entire roster, while he treats Rohit like a second-class citizen.

Both guys made some good points throughout this package, and the actual quality of said package wrapped everything up nicely. The story arc between them has been a drag, but the end is in sight. As good as this video was, it should have come a lot sooner, rather than at the end of their rivalry. Still, it’s another example of IMPACT’s production team being one of their greatest assets.
