Impact Wrestling Reax - 7/21/16

Read on for my thoughts on last night's Impact Wrestling.

Lashley is one of my favorite talents of the last few years, in any promotion. I really hope he kills some X-Division jabronis in the months to come.

Moose vs. Lashley is the hossfest the world needs. I'm excited to see what Moose does in TNA; he was underused in ROH.

I hope Lashley kills Bennett with some spears, too. Death to generic vanilla wrestlers.

Moose can kill Edwards and Richards while we're at it. Bring back the hoss era =====b

Bennett getting involved to be fired works for me.

This Hardys angle is the craziest thing I've seen in years. I love it.

I can't wait to see Jeff jumping off things with Niece Quinn and Niece Claire in a mixed feud with Broken Matt, Broken Maxel, and Reby Sky. Is 2036 too late of a time frame for that to happen?

BAH GAWD MATT THAT'S YOUR BROTHER. YOUR OWN FLESH AND BLOOD. HE DOESN'T DESERVE THIS.

- Nero vs. Bennett:
Watch Bennett lose to someone who just had a motorcycle accident. Also, when do we see Matt and Nero in monster trucks on top of the Impact Zone?

That's actually Jeff's second biggest in-ring disaster in TNA following Victory Road.

Big Money Matt will live forever.

- M. Hardy vs. Storm:
This is crazy wild, too. HE'TH GOTTA BITHYCLE!!

Fun match for its sheer ridiculousness.

Eddie Edwards is basically Bo Dallas' gimmick. He wasn't as insufferable in that promo as he usually is.

Bennett as TNA Champion is a scary idea. He's not a bad wrestler, just not at that level.

I really like EC3's drive.

I'm ready for another round of EC3 vs. Drew.

Good work from Drake, too.

- Drake vs. EC3:
Good stuff to start off. Eli's making the most of his TNA opportunity.

Well that was quick. The KOTM Title is even more worthless now.

Another fun backstage Hardys segment.

It's OK, Maria. I don't really want to see you give a promo either.

Allie's pretty fun.

There's only so much they can do to make Tyrus interesting, so we'll see if this new direction means anything. If he's the same guy in the ring, it will only matter so much.

At least Allie's fun in this address business.

This Knockouts segment is pretty much a mess, but everyone in TNA is always angry at everyone else.

I can't really get into Jade vs. Marti Bell outside of a hardcore fight environment.

Gail's really talented, but there's just not much left for her to do in the division.

This week on Edgy Goths. I'm interested to see who teams up with Bram to face The Decay. The general LOLTNA answer is we'll get Bram and Rosemary vs. Steve and Abyss.

- Drew vs. Bram:
I love a good war. It's a nice break from flips and dives.

These two go really hard. Just beating the hell out of each other.

This is heating up pretty well.

That was mostly good.

The Bennetts are the Poochie of TNA.

- Lashley vs. Edwards:
Of course Eddie starts with a dive. It actually made sense in this context, though, since he's got to go all out against someone as dominant as Lashley.

Lashley's just mean. Dominant and mean.

Lashley's just killing Edwards. HE'S GETTIN WHIPPED LIKE A DAMN GOVERNMENT MULE.

Edwards going all after Lashley in what could be his one chance to win.

This is just a damn war. I like it.

GOOD GAWD ALMIGHTY. Lashley just destroying him with spears.

Lashley's automatically the best X-Division Champion in years, at least since Joe and Aries. Trevor Lee was good, but didn't have a lot to do as champion.

Nice post-match with Lashley and Edwards. I love Lashley the bully.

Crazy ending to the show as usual. I like it.

More wrestling tomorrow.
