IMPACT Wrestling Results—Tuesday, September 8, 2020

Opening Segment Featuring Eric Young, Tommy Dreamer and Alisha Edwards

Alisha Edwards tried to guilt-trip Eric Young, but telling a man known as “The World Class Maniac” that he’s the reason her husband can’t hold his kids is one of the biggest compliments you can give him.

I can count on one hand the amount of people in national pro wrestling who could cut this type of promo Alisha Edwards did and sound more authentic.

Tommy Dreamer is admittedly atoning for all the women he piledrove in ECW by coming to Alisha Edwards aid.

TJP def. Chris Bey

Rohit Raju’s sparkling dress shirt almost matched with the shiny and multi-colored X-Division Championship.

Rohit Raju was supposed to be out there to antagonize these X-Division contenders, but with heckles like “who wants it more?!” he was more of a source of inspiration than anything.

Locker Room Talk with WRESTLE HOUSE Cast

Madison Rayne’s line of questioning could only be described as pro-Deonna Purrazzo.

Kylie Rae talks about fighting with the same exuberance she’d talks about kittens or crayons.

Brian Myers def. Willie Mack

The logo on Brian Myers’ t-shirt looks like it belongs on a park bench next to a real-estate mogul. He really is a professional wrestler.

Brian Myers and Willie Mack are seriously feuding over a handshake and they have more than enough talent to pull it off. Here’s to a “Shake My Hand” match at Bound for Glory.

Willie Mack brilliantly used Myers’ “professional” gimmick against him by forcing him into a match in his street clothes.

Motor City Machine Guns vs. The Rascalz—IMPACT Tag Team Championships

Given their pot-smoking gimmick, I’m surprised The Rascalz don’t come out to Reggae music.

This match was a lock for being a high-flying spot fest, but it was anything but with MCMG going old school and working over the leg.

Taya Valkyrie def. Tasha Skillz

Jon E. Bravo was planning his wedding throughout this match, and I was praying he would do a cake-tasting bit.

It was hard to buy Taya Valkyrie crying out for help like her life was in danger while getting beaten up by a woman half her size.

There was a Moose segment alongside his former college coach, who ended up being possessed by EC 3. It was fantastic.

Eric Young vs. Tommy Dreamer

Eric Young’s mask could double as a legit Lucha mask and I think he should wrestle in it.

For somebody known so much for his hardcore skillset, Tommy Dreamer delivers one hell of an elbow drop.

Sometimes a feud reminds you of ECW in embarrassing ways, but this reminds me of ECW for all the right reasons.
