What’s the Worst that Could Happen? Impact Wrestling Preview — May 16 Edition

TNA Says: Thursday’s IMPACT will also feature Knockouts action as Knockouts Champion Velvet Sky takes on longtime rival Gail Kim

Dave Says: I understand that Velvet Sky is very over at house shows, but goodness gracious, I don’t know how many Vel Vel matches my heart has left in it.

Best case scenario: Gail Kim gets a ton of heat on Velvet by beating her up the whole match. Velvet “hulks up” feeding off the crowd and wins clean — I might not love her, but she’s the champion!

Worst case scenario: The entire story of the match is built around Gail’s inability to get along with the referee. The whole Taryn Terrell thing gave Gail way too legit a gripe about unfairness for someone who’s supposed to be the top heel.

TNA Says: Plus, former Gut Check participants will battle in a tournament for a spot in the upcoming Bound For Glory Series! In the first match on Thursday, Jay Bradley will face Christian York!

Dave Says: The Adam Peace decision completely derailed Gut Check for me. The most likable part of the segments is Danny Davis, who seems like he knows something about wrestling, which is terrifyingly rare on wrestling TV shows.

Best case scenario: This turns into a hair-vs-hair match, which Christian York loses. Bradley wins with the Western Lariat, or whatever his finish is.

Worst case scenario: The crowd has absolutely no reaction to either man. Christian York tries a spot he saw 2 Cold Scorpio do once.
