9 Ups & 3 Downs From Impact Wrestling (Aug 11)

1. The Whole F'N Murder Attempt

This week’s edition of Locker Room Talk marked a special version of the show, as we were witness to not one, but two attempts at literal murder. Not a sentence your writer thought he’d ever type with regards to Madison Rayne’s talk show.

‘The Locker Room Leader’ was joined by Rob Van Dam and Katie Forbes, who wasted no time in driving the multi-time Knockouts Champion away from the scene by making out on her couch. Just as Van Dam and Forbes were trading places interviewing one another, Sami Callihan teleported on to our screens via ICU shenanigans. Cue the murder attempts.

Firstly, ‘The Draw’ tried to suffocate ‘The Whole F’N Show’ with a cushion. Had he held it over RVD’s face for long enough, the former World and X Division Champion would’ve lost consciousness before being declared medically deceased.

After Rob and Katie got the upperhand, they put the boots to Sami, with Forbes wearing high-heels while doing so. If she had kept kicking at Callihan’s ribs and angled it the correct way, it’s possible she would have punctured a lung. Not as big a deal as the suffocation, but it’s still worth mentioning.
