Isenberg Reacts: Impact Wrestling “Defying Logic”

Storm vs. Sherra

impact wrestlingJames Storm and Sherra start off with lefts and rights, punches and forearms. Strom quickly works the heel route with a low blow. Shera came back firing and hit some nice moves, but Storm connects with a codebreaker type move on Sherra. Storm grabs some chairs and tosses Sherra from the top between them. After a two count, Storm goes back to his roots.

 Storm brings a bottle of beer in the ring. Storm spits the beer in Earl Hebner face and then Sherra hits a spear. The ref cannot make the count.  James grabs a broken piece of glass from the beer bottle. Abyss and Manik come into the ring and Storm asks both Manik and Abyss what the hell are they doing here. Abyss hits Storm with his finisher and Manik connects with his. Sherra gets back up to pick up the win with a spinebuster.

I do think that this match concluded a mediocre feud in a really good way. Abyss and Manik help out the young guy that continued to get bullied and came out looking like a bigger star. Anyone who works with James Storm will get a great rub. Sherra is still underdeveloped for me, but time will tell if he can actually become something great.

 I have always enjoyed the work of Storm. From Beer Money to his world championship reign and now back to a leader of a heel faction, Storm has adapted to the times and is easily one of the best wrestlers to transition whenever he needs to. That is a huge credit to how talented of a talent he is. Overall, a strong outing from both men and a really good No DQ match that did not do TOO much.

Lashley vs. Bobby Roode at Bound For Glory

As much as I am excited to see this match, I think that Bobby Roode and Lashley is too random. It seems like TNA is trying to utilize all of their premiere talent, but some of Roode’s best work was because of the build to the match. There is no doubt they will perform at a high level, but couldn’t you have put something together in the past 3-4 weeks? If the King of the Mountain Championship is important, plant the seeds for something to grow.
