Impact has to do more. The main event was a solid one, and some of the storyline is fun, but having all of these old ECW performers on here where there are loads of talented performers on the indie scene is just sad.
Matches:
Moose and The North: Ethan Page and Josh Alexander vs. Rob Van Dam, Sabu and Tommy Dreamer w/Super Genie: This was pure fan service. The North is an excellent Tag Team and Moose is a monster. They laid down for these guys, who hit some spots in the end for the win.
Tessa Blanchard vs. The Disco Inferno: More fan service. Blanchard kicked Disco’s ass and won via a wicked Right Hand.
The Desi Hit Squad: Raju Rohit and Gurvinder Singh w/Gama Singh vs. The Deaners: Jake and Cody: A decent mid-card Tag Match but nothing special. Better communication allowed The Deaners to win via School Boy.
Street Fight: Killer Kross vs. Eddie Edwards: An appearance from The Sandman allowed Edwards to hit the Boston Knee Party for the win.
Johnny Impact and Michael Elgin w/Johnny Bravo vs. Impact Wrestling X-Division Champion Rich Swann and Willie Mack: After some miscommunication with Impact, Elgin went to the back, allowing back to hit the Lethal Injection and follow it up with the 450.
