Impact Wrestling: Results, Highlights and Grades for December 17th, 2019

Joey Ryan vs. Acey Romero

Right before the match, Johnny Swinger hits the ring to join the commentary table.

After the bell, Ryan stuffs his lollipop and baby oil down his tights, daring Romero to “touch it.” Romero refuses, but he does goes for a lockup, backing Ryan into the corner before Ryan pushes him away.

Romero hits a reverse atomic drop, but “it” hurts Romero more than Ryan. What does hurt Ryan is a running crossbody. He follows up with a fireman’s carry, but Ryan wiggles out. But the shove into Romero’s belly causes Romero to fall face first into “it.” Of course, “it” just hurts Romero.

Ryan pulls out the lollipop and tries to jam it down Romero’s throat, but instead incapacitates the ref by jamming it in his mouth. While the ref is out, Swinger runs in and tries to get Romero to touch “it,” but since Swinger’s “it” is just a fanny pack, it produces no effect.

However, Ryan uses the distraction to get Romero to touch the real “it” and flips the big man with “it.” Ryan then puts his lollipop in Romero’s mouth and hits Sweet Tooth Music for the win.

Winner: Joey Ryan

Grade: B

Perfect amount of time. Amusing comedy match that was exactly what it needed to be.

Tessa Blanchard is interviewed about if she’s worried about Callihan “exposing him,” but she’s not. She feels like Callihan is worried if he’s still resorting to mind games.

She thinks he’s worried because he knows at the Hard to Kill PPV on Jan. 12, she is going to beat him for his title. Not because of her gender, but simply because she’s the better wrestler. She’ll be watching Callihan’s promo tonight closely.
