Isenberg Reacts: Impact Wrestling Reaction “Eric Young At His Finest”

By Josh Isenberg

Eric Young defeated Kurt Angle

After a stellar promo earlier in the night, Eric Young was ready for Kurt Angle.

Via WZ:

Eric and Kurt fight at ringside before Kurt clotheslines Eric in the ring, then he goes for another but Eric sends him into the ringpost. We get back from a break to see Kurt hit a belly-to-belly suplex, then Eric rolls outside and slams Kurt into the steps. Eric gets the stretcher and rolls it to ringside, then he sets up a piledriver but Kurt hits an Angle Slam on the floor. Kurt pulls Eric onto the stretcher, but Eric gets free and tries to slam Kurt in the ring. Kurt goes for a quick suplex but Eric sends Kurt into an exposed turnbuckle, then hits two piledrivers and straps Kurt onto the stretcher to win. 

Eric Young was really excellent tonight. His victory over Kurt Angle makes a case for him getting a world championship match. You can see how much he is buying into his heel character and it is a very fresh and real gimmick. He looks insane, crazy and a guy that everyone will boo. His biggest asset is his facial expressions. The guy can wrestle, the guy can talk, but how he looks puts him into a rare spot for heels in TNA. He is hitting his stride and is at his finest.
