#2 Ace Austin vs Chris Bey - IMPACT Wrestling March 9th, 2021
When it came to the X-Division of IMPACT Wrestling, no two wrestlers have caused more hassle for any other competitors than Ace Austin and Chris Bey. Both pegged as the future faces of, not only the division, but the brand, Fulton and Bey have been in and out of title contention since their debuts.
Both well-decorated X-Division stars, they've also made several attempts at the IMPACT Wrestling World Championship. It's only a matter of time before they win the big one. We got a chance to see what a main event scene with these two would look like back in March.
And you know what? It over-delivered. As great as these two were, fans expected it to end in disqualification or no contest. However, though both men did their best to steal a win, it was a relatively clean contest.
Austin controlled the first few minutes, thanks to Bey attempting to get himself disqualified. He tried to get Madman Fulton to strike him, but the big man declined, allowing Austin to land on him with a phenomenal dive.
It was a back-and-forth affair full of one-upmanship. While not exactly counter-for-counter, they instead traded shot-for-shot, hitting one another with some phenomenal maneuvers. Ace caught Bey with his various springboard kicks and springboard famouser. Bey responded with a slingshot DDT and a Vertebreaker, along with several attempts at the Art of Finesse.
In the end, it was the Art of Finesse that felled Ace Austin, giving Chris Bey a win in one of the greatest matches in IMPACT Wrestling TV history. Austin was distracted a bit by TJP prior to the finish, though, leaving this one open for a rematch. Chris Bey and Ace Austin are, without a doubt, the future of IMPACT Wrestling.
Now, as great as this was, there was one match that topped it in 2021, and it featured our current IMPACT Wrestling X-Division Champion.
