Title This: Impact Wrestling Reaction “Why is TNA Wasting Away Their Talent?”

March 22, 2014

The Main Events

impact wrestling reaction Gunner comes out and talks about all he has done in his life. He goes to his dad and thanks him for everything that he has done. Out comes James Storm, who breaks up the family reunion. Storm talks about how he made Gunner a star and then attacks him. He handcuffs Gunner to the ropes and then grabs his dad from the crowd. He then hits a beer bottle over his head. The segment ends with Storm walking out.

Reaction: Would a beer bottle really knock someone completely out? Aside from that, I really like how cynical and dramatic James Storm has been. Storm is a really good face, but he is growing on me as a heel. Pick one side and stick with it. James Storm can really help Gunner get to a main event type level with heel tactics like this.

Score: 6.5/10

-Bully Ray and Bobby Roode continue their feud. Sign me up for this, even though I think Roode should be the face. Why would you waste Bully Ray as a face? He is SO GOOD at being the guy that everyone hates. He was an old school heel that wanted to be hated and wanted to be booed, not a "cool" heel that is flooding professional wrestling these days.

Score: 6/10

Magnus defeated Samoa Joe to retain the TNA World Heavyweight Championship.

MVP and Abyss are handcuffed to the ropes so there is no interference. Magnus works on Samoa Joe with multiple kicks and clotheslines. He drops Joe with another big clothesline and gets a two count. Magnus works on the back and slows the pace with pressure to the neck. Finally, Samoa Joe hits a spinebuster and is in control. Joe locks in a choke hold, but Joe fights it off. The referee is knocked out and Abyss punches MVP in the face. Abyss and MVP battle on the outside as they are handcuffed. Abyss gets knocked down but grabs a chair and attacks MVP. Abyss throws a chair into a diving Joe. Magnus hits an elbow drop and picks up the win.

Reaction: Another screw job of a win. Anyone keeping track? Again, the same garbage and the same outcome. When can we see something different with Magnus. You know it is a problem when your world champion contenders take a back seat to MVP and Abyss.

Score: 5/10
