Street Fight Highlights Impact

impact wrestling Jessie and Robbie do battle on Impact, which is their second match in the past few weeks. Robbie got the surprise win at Slammiversary, but tonight was all about the continued growth of Jesse.

He is taking this gimmick and running with it. He has been compared to “The Masterpiece” gimmick in WWE, but he is doing much more right now. He has more aggression, more talent and more to develop. I think the sky is the limit for this guy due to his progression from a year ago.

Look at his matches, focusing on the pacing and the flow of the match. He is not just “wrestling.” He is telling a story. Kudos to both guys tonight, making a Street Fight feel different than the hundreds we have seen over the year. Heck, that Boston Crab over a chair was very innovative.

What Happened To Lashley?

Each week, I wonder. I wonder certain things like how did Taryn Terrell’s boyfriend land HER? How does EC3 get so jacked? I also wonder what TNA is doing with Lashley. His reign as champion was one word: DOMINANT. The guy goes from that to a lack of time on a weekly basis. How does TNA let this happen? He is so damn talented and could use a real manager, not a guy like MVP. As a face, Lashley should remain at the top of the food chain, not scrapping for pieces in the middle of the pack.
