9 Ups & 5 Downs From IMPACT Wrestling Against All Odds 2021

4. Doering Burns The Bread

Your writer cherishes Joe Doering. His running Crossbody makes him a kingpin of big beefy boys. His bout vs. Satoshi Kojima, however, was dismal.

Taking an age to get properly underway, Doering and Kojima wrestled a bland contest. Kojima’s corner machine gun chops were alright, but everything before it was far too slow and plodding.

Laying out Rhino at ringside as he attempted to intervene was entirely pointless, also. Its effectiveness was non-existent because the distraction did f*ck all for Joe Doering; Kojima came back in the ring, still in control. The Violent By Design man laid Satoshi out with his Wasteland/Lariat combination, garnering a two count, and so followed up with a spinning Liger Bomb. There was nothing inbetween the two spots to correlate them. Doering merely set Kojima up again, rather awkwardly.

It’s becoming increasingly strenuous to remain a fan of Joe Doering when his in-ring efforts are as dull as this. He creates a new definition for being a slow worker. Not like he’s Randy Orton in rest hold heaven; he’s just being slow. Again, he’s a corker of a worker with a stellar moveset, but that often means nothing if you don’t have the full package on a major platform.
