Impact Wrestling vs The UK (September 9th, 2018) - Ranking Each Match

#7. Jimmy Havoc Vs. Sami Callihan - Barbed Wire Baseball Bat Deathmatch

Jimmy Havoc is synonymous with deathmatches and hardcore matches and doing silly, silly things in the ring and Sami Callihan is getting a bit of a reputation so this match had lofty expectations attached to it.

Those expectations were delivered upon in spades, big, big spades. Honestly, Havoc really stood out as he was the one who took the majority of the more, cringe-inducing, nasty-looking bumps. The exposed feet to the thumb tacks, the lemon juice into the barb wire opened arm and the apron pile-driver all examples of silly things no-one should endure, but Havoc did for out entertainment.

I don't want to take anything away from Callihan who also took his fair share of nonsense, but I don't think I do him a disservice when I say that Havoc truly was the highlight of the match from start to finish with his aforementioned willingness to hurt himself for our entertainment, and also his character and personality shining through throughout.

Honestly, it's crazy that people are allowed to do this.

Grade: 4.5/5
