5 best things happening at Impact Wrestling right now

#1 The Dummy Era

For long, Eli Drake has been one of the most underappreciated talents in the pro-wrestling business. However, the dummy-whooping mic-savant has now ascended to the top of the Impact Wrestling food chain, courtesy a slew of unforeseen circumstances that befell the company over the past few months.

Impact Wrestling has looked to push every big-name pro-wrestling star they got their hands on -- be it Cody Rhodes, Alberto El Patron or longtime TNA loyalist Bobby Lashley. However, with Cody leaving for greener pastures, El Patron’s issues outside the ring, and Lashley’s intentions of devoting all of his time to his MMA career, Impact Wrestling put its biggest title, the GFW Global Championship, on Eli Drake.

The answer to their problems lay right in front of them the entire time, but, well, as the old saying goes -- better late than never.

Impact Wrestling would be better served to go forward with their rebuilding phase, represented by an excellent worker and consummate professional. They don’t make ‘em much better than E L I Drake!

Drake may very well be the new face of Impact -- with Lashley out for good -- and more so because I truly believe Drake is a much more complete entertainer than Bobby, El Patron or Cody, given that the destroyer of Dummies is not only a highly technical mat wrestler, but also one of the best trash talkers in the sport today.

For all you TNA loyalists out there, what do you feel is the best thing going on in the Impact Zone today? Sound off in the comments!
