What I've always loved about Impact Wrestling from the very start is the ability to make compelling characters, that the audience cares about when they eventually enter the ring. I thought that the two matches at the top of the show were great, but I wasn't necessarily invested in them because they had no storyline.

I mean when you put, Rich Swann, Willie Mack and The Rascalz in the ring, they cannot help but have a great match. The same also holds true for performers like TJP and the local talent who were part of the big opening X-Division match from Mexico.

I loved the fact that Josh Mathews alluded to Rich Swann and TJP as former WWE Cruiserweight Champions too. I'm glad to see that it's not a taboo subject anymore, among the announcers.

In any case, give me characters and let them put on good matches!
