9 Ups & 4 Downs From This Week's Impact Wrestling (Aug 16)

5. Personal Pep Talk

If there's one thing we've learned from Tessa Blanchard's rivalry opposite Sami Callihan, it's that she's never wanted help from anyone. She feels as if she has a point to prove, and she can only prove it by taking the fight to Callihan herself.

However, Tommy Dreamer - her partner for the evening's main event - knew exactly how to get her to be less stubborn and allow him to provide a helping hand.

'The Innovator of Violence' mentioned both Tully Blanchard and Magnum TA, saying that they both only got to where they are now through help from others. As a result, Tessa decided to allow Dreamer to help her against Sami Callihan and Dave Crist in the main event.

It was a nice little touch, having Tessa's family being brought up. Even though this rivalry with her and Sami has gone on for a fair length of time, it's not showing any signs of becoming stale. If only every rivalry could be like that.
