3. Pro Wrestling Legitimacy Being Showcased
Impact Wrestling continues to outbook the WWE in terms of professional wrestling legitimacy. The partnership with all of these other promotions has allowed Impact to showcase other promotions titles. We have seen championships from CRASH, Pro Wrestling Noah, and AAA. Anyone who walks to the ring with championship is immediately seen as legit. Although, Impact dropped the ball with Grado while he was Insane Championship Wrestling Champion, they have focused on titles they have directly worked with.
Also, the storylines right now feel realistic and are must see. They continue to hit on pop culture controversies. A while back, Connor Mcgregor and Dana White were very critical on wrestling. Now Impact Wrestling has incorporated an MMA vesus professional wrestling storyline. It has also triggered one of the most anticipated rivalries in Impact right now.
Moose versus Lashley has been one of the feuds that every fan has wanted to see. Since Lashley is doing the best work of his career in Impact Wrestling and Moose is a young up and comer, they were bound to cross paths. It is set up to be an awesome match and has rising potential. It also blurs the lines within a kayfabe reality. WWE has done a phenomenal job with several feuds recently including stars like John Cena, AJ Styles, Roman Reigns, and Braun Strowman but Impact has done it more consistently. This week, he shows up with some MMA help of his own in Stephen Bonner after being thrown out of the building last week. They destroyed the American Top Team facility and even left a hand written message for the crew.
