Isenberg Reacts: Impact Wrestling “Wicked Willow and Confusing Championship Match”

May 19, 2016

Illogical for The Miracle

Mike Bennett comes out and talks about EC3’s redemption tour. He also talks about wanting to fight a TNA Hall of Famer and says Earl Hebner is the only one he could fight right now. Hebner comes out and he pushes Bennett. Bennett attacks and picks up a quick victory.

This made little to no sense to me. Who cares about Bennett fighting a Hall of Famer who is a REFEREE. Yes, they want him to get heat but the crowd does not care or connect with a referee like that. They should have had Bennett in some sort of match against a TNA original. Why not someone like James Storm? The only good part about Bennett’s involvement tonight was booking EC3 against Tyrus in a Last Man Standing Match.

EC3 Defeated Tyrus

EC3 defeated Tyrus in a really good and physical contest. It took everything in EC3 to keep him down, including a Samoan Drop through the steel barricade. EC3 would then stack the steel steps on him so he could not get up to the 10 count. EC3 picked up the victory and continues to be such a great asset to Mike Bennett. They are so similar and so different at the same time. I have really enjoyed Bennett making EC3 work for another match. It preserves his character, making him look so important and so special for someone to fight. Also, the stipulations make sense. It should be so hard for EC3 to pick up victories and have odds always stacked against him. Great night for EC3.
