Title This: Impact Wresting Reaction 5-31

Jeff HardyJeff Hardy vs. Devon for the Television Championship ends in No Contest

What I Liked:

You knew that Hardy was the odds on favorite to be voted in by the fans. Devon is in great shape for his extended age, and his pairing with Hardy is one we have not seen since the WWE Days in early 2000's. They had some time to work in the ring, and I felt they did an average job. Hardy hit a few nice moves to get the upper hand against a larger opponent. Devon is a guy who brawls, so his offense with Hardy's could work for an extended period of time.

What I Disliked:

Rob Terry and Robbie E get involved with Devon and Jeff Hardy. I did not hate the interference, but I hated how it was executed. It seemed forced, watered down, and did not do anything for any of the guys involved. Robbie E and Terry are feuding with Devon still, but adding Hardy is a terrible idea. Hardy has no reason to have beef with any of these guys. There is not ruthless aggression or intensity from these guys. They need to find that to get over more with the crowd.

Grade: C-

James Storm is shown at home and talks about being a small town guy who does not need fame and fortune like Bobby Roode. He is upset he let his family down, and his daughter asks if he is going to go back to wrestling. He says to turn the cameras off.

-Gut Check: Joey Ryan gets two No's. He starts to talk off to Tazz and really acts cocky. Ryan does not get the job.
