9 Ups & 5 Downs From Impact Wrestling (Jan 28)

4. You're Ne...

Moose's promo towards Rhino added nothing to his match later in the night with Taurus. 'Mr Impact Wrestling' stated that the only reason he lost to the bull last week was because he was 'distracted' by 'The War Machine'. Distracted, being Gored, sure, they're basically the same thing. The Moose/Rhino rivalry didn't even need to continue past Hard To Kill - the fact it did is baffling.

Aside from that though, Moose went on to almost say 'you're next', the catchphrase of Goldberg, but stopped himself, stating that he doesn't need that. When you combine that with his spear being named the No Jackhammer Needed (referencing the WWE Hall of Famer's tendency to end matches with a spear immediately followed by a Jackhammer), Moose is, for whatever reason, taking a dig at the former WCW icon. Why?

His reasoning for doing so is never mentioned. Maybe there is an actual story to it, but there doesn't appear to be if you just watch the weekly shows. Considering it appears to now be a major part of Moose's persona in Impact Wrestling, perhaps it should be mentioned a bit more so that it doesn't make Moose come off as petty.
