Isenberg Reacts: Impact Wrestling “Wrong Time To End The Reign”

What is Next For EC3?

impact wrestling Ec3 has to face off against Drew Galloway in the main event, after Galloway picks up the win in a Battle Royal earlier in the night. Ethan and Drew exchange blows until the champ runs to the outside. Drew chases him and hits him in the back, then Drew chops him again before Ethan gets in a cheap shot. He follows up with a clothesline and then Tyrus hits him on the outside. Eli Drake comes out to aid Galloway, fending off Tyrus with his crutch.

Ethan hits a suplex and some elbow drops. Drew comes back with a diving clothesline and a side slam. Tyrus tries to interfere and grabs Drew’s leg, then Ethan splashes him and throws a few more chops.

Drew unleashes some big chops to the champ and ends up accidentally hitting the referee. Chaos ensues, and Eli ends up hitting Drew with the crutch. He is showing that he is not injured and Ethan looks shocked at what happened. He hits the One Percenter for the win.

I liked the swerve tonight. Eli Drake was overshadowed week after week by Galloway, a much more polished star and better performer. I think it may have been a little random, but it was not completely out of the ordinary. Galloway is really good and he went toe to toe with TNA’s best heel.

EC3 is stellar in how he handles himself in the ring and just “feels” like a big deal. Good work from both guys tonight in a really entertaining main event with a legit contender to EC3’s championship. So, who is next in line? If Kurt Angle is out for some time, use a veteran like Matt Hardy to face off against Ethan Carter. Replace a legend with another one.

Bully is Best For Business

I like that Bully Ray will be stepping out of the ring and being an authority figure for TNA. He has the credibility from the boys in the back, as well as the fear in them too. He is a guy that is very interesting in how he conducts his business. This guy appears in WWE in January to a massive pop. He comes back, briefly, to TNA and now is a regular.

Consistency. They need consistency in their characters and development. When this happens, they might be able to keep progressing.
