Impact Wrestling Reax - 1/19/17

Read on for my thoughts on last night's Impact Wrestling.
- Race for the Case rules:
You wot m8? Sounds like something of a mess. We'll see how it plays out, though.

- Race for the Case:
Look, you know how this match goes. It's a big multiple person fight and people eventually grab some briefcases. I'm not expecting a seven or eight star match here.

I'm liking the pairing of Drake and Tyrus. Finally they both have something to do.

Small complaint: why not have Tyrus try to take another briefcase, too? Then Drake could choose which of the two he wants to keep!

Hahahaha Lee throwing in a crazy dive after winning. Funny in a car wreck sense.

I'm liking this for what it is.

Jessie's starting to grow on me. Keep an eye on him in the years to come.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA nice move from DCC. That was hilarious.

Well, now we'll see what this stipulation leads to.

- Galloway video/promo:
Oh, shit. Remember BDC? Crazy how not a single member is with TNA anymore.

I like Drew a good deal. That was a good piece of business overall.

- Lashley/Eddie:
Time to end this farce of a title reign. Have Lashley stomp both wolf pups back to the Create-A-Wrestler screen.

"Golly gee I love the world title and all you fans!"

Lashley doesn't sweat Billy Corgan's boy.

OH SHIT. That could be one hell of an iron man match.

Oh I look forward to that one.

Weak promo from Eddie. Glad Lashley is bodying him.

Oh we're so in for wrestlebot vs. wrestlebot.

- Maria/Sutter/Brooke:
Ugggggghhhhh go ahead and get to the endgame of Allie/Braxton already.

Oh, snap. Looks like Brooke means business.

- Brooke vs. Purrazzo:
Deonna is all over the place!

Purrazzo showing why her services are in demand.

This is good enough.

Deonna's definitely worth making an offer for, whether that's NXT, TNA, or ROH.

Solid enough win for Brooke.

- Post-match:
Yeah, Brooke. Be careful whom you make an enemy.

Glad to see Brooke have some opposition. Theoretically they'll build to Brooke vs. Rosemary for the title at some point?

Nice setup for Brooke vs. Sienna.

- Maria/Braxton:
Oh joy this angle is continuing.

Oh... well, that at least sounds interesting.

- Fact of Life:
I like Tyrus being Eli's MC and bouncer.

Poor Drake haha.

That was interesting enough.

Clustermess overall, but we'll see what it leads to. I'm not a huge fan of Open Fight Night. It felt kind of contrived the first time through.

- Braxton/Allie:
Poor Allie! How could anyone do that to her!?

WHY BRAXTON WHYYYYYYY?

- Robbie promo:
Looks like we're in for some silliness here. Meh.

- Rex/Spud vs. Robbie/Swoggle:
Between not getting booked and having to be in silly stuff like this, I guess this is the better option for Spud.

This is really weird.

HOLY SHIT HAHAHAHAHA Swoggle doing GTS just made this whole thing worth it.

Hard to take Robbie seriously, but he's doing his darnedest to not just be the guy who had the Jersey Shore gimmick. I do generally like his work.

Oh, Lord. This is a mess.

I think they tired to do too much with this one. TOO silly/ridiculous, and that's coming from someone who usually likes levity in wrestling.

- Braxton/Laurel:
Good for those two. Maybe Allie can get with Swoggle?

- Drew vs. Moose:
I've been looking forward to this one.

-- Round 1:
I like the power on display here.

NICE counter to the crossbody.

Drew's putting up a fight!

Nice work so far.

-- Round 2: 
This could be a good, physical feud.

DAMN. Perfect timing on that bicycle kick.

Now this is a FIGHT. Worthy of a main event, for sure.

This is really solid. Both men are top workers.

I love the dynamic of being saved by the bell. It adds something new and different.

-- Round 3:
Good playing of the rules by Galloway. Big jerk move.

What an asshole haha.

GREAT ending to set up further matches.

More wrestling coming up.
