No Ropes PIT FIGHT Knockout or Submission ONLY | Mike Bailey vs. Kenny King | IMPACT Jan. 19, 2023

[@b1lesuiram468]

FINALLY ! Mike Bailey had not just a random match for X-Division, but a match with proper story. This is PPV quality.

[@whyphy2213]

It seems like RAW Underground should have been something like this. I like that Impact is trying different matches and gimmick matches

THIS, right here! People need to STOP sleeping on IMPACT Wrestling 😎👍🏾

Nah, let them keep sleeping on it. That way IMPACT! can run them over when they're not looking.

[@sinnroth6163]

Tremendous match. So many moments made me physically cringe at how painful they looked. They both killed it.

[@Simon_Jakle__almost_real_name]

I read that distorting a figure four leglock like first seen at 12:05 is a riskier threat, so this shows the toughness of both competitors (rather then "greenhorns" taking dangerous risks). Though there were other high risk style moves, most of them by the man "a drink could have been named from or for".

[@Bbknuckles]

Wait for real.. do you not watch MMA? These shots were nothing different than a regular wrestling match. There was nothing hard about those shots. Not even stiff shots. I guess for those who know nothing about fighting it might seem “realistic”.

[@rcangelanddemon2450]

That end kick to the head with the chair on his head just was brutal and it was awesome

[@darringardner6310]

This match was great to watch. Love to see Mike Bailey and Kenny King work together. I want to see more of these two work together.

[@HiPHOPx87]

I agree. The more. The better

[@TBLPW]

I see people rightly saying how much of a banger this match was. I want to take it one step further, this rivalry is one of Impact’s best.

[@adalbertoramirez3151]

Took me a minute to realize that this was a prowrestling fight. I thought it was an mma fight until the arm drag sequence that ended with the guy walking outside the ring. Outstanding work by this two. I love mma and prowrestling as well so I love concept and certainly not everyone can make that style work but this guys put on a performance worthy of a ppv

[@Andrew-Antioch-Kim]

I first discovered "Speedball" Mike Bailey in PWG during his final in BOLA (Battle Of Los Angeles.) "Speedball" is a in-ring technician who's finally deserving his OVERDUE credit as well as recognition on a national stage here in Impact Wrestling. Mike Bailey is riding his wave of momentum into 2023 and should be a future Impact WORLD Champion.

[@Unique007]

Bailey is insane, and I want him to win someday title again, Bailey vs. Josh was the best match of impact in today's generation. I wish I see Josh vs. Kon and Bailey vs. Eddie Edwards match.

[@JDev336]

[@thurstonhowellthe3rd550]

Best impact wrestling I've seen in 7 or 8 years First match I could actually watch from start to finish with excitement

[@Ilriz817]

Impact missed a huge opportunity by making MMA referee Big John McCarthy the ref for this match

[@johnperry8045]

As a former security officer the hand to hand defensive tactics displayed had me hooked this was an amazing performance by both speedball and king add Josh Alexander and yeah Impact keep it up please this is awesome

[@Tylar122]

Respectfully what does being a former security officer have to do with that, it's like a two week course.

Kenny King should go after Johnathan Gresham leading to Johnathan going Heel and them teaming up and going after the Tag Titles or Joe Hendry for the Digital Media Championship next and Mike Bailey should go back after the X-Division Championship
