According to Meltzer and MLW Radio, this is indeed just a storyline. I will be shocked if Austin Aries does not return during the three days of Impact tapings here in Las Vegas, his current hometown, later this month. I tend to not be a fan of kayfabe breaking storylines. The non-sell (or light sell) of a finisher is an odd choice to me. But we'll see how it plays out. |

Whenever anyone said Austin no sold I just didn't agree. I mean how many times during a match do we see someone take a finisher, get covered for two and then a short time later are on the attack. So why should a guy have to "sell" by staying on the mat for long time after a loss. Austin took the pin and as I recall took a short moment before doing his thing. |

I had seen many posts about people calling it a non-sell before I actually saw what occurred. Once I saw it, he sold the entire match just fine and laid down for the pin with no fuss. It was just that he sat up right after and walked off yelling at Don Callis. He probably should have sold the finisher a bit longer or acted a little hurt as he walked up the ramp but it wasn't the end of the world. |
