Wrestling took a time machine to 1984 and forgot the seatbelt.
IMPACT Wrestling time traveled back to 1984 as Pabst Blue Ribbon presents Throwback Throwdown II - a retro night with unpredictable action from the Davis Arena in Louisville, Kentucky. The event features the North Pole Street Fight for the IPWF International Commonwealth Television Championship where Sex Ferguson (Doc Gallows) takes on Santa Claus (Willie Mack).
Practical Effects
North Pole Street Fight uses actual holiday decorations as weapons.
Costume
Character names so aggressively 80s they loop back to genius.
Production
Pabst Blue Ribbon sponsorship commitment is genuinely impressive.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Doc Gallows and Willie Mack are both current Impact stars playing parody versions of 80s archetypes they were born too late to experience.
The original 1980s IPWF concept was created by commentator Scott D'Amore as a one-off joke that became an annual tradition because wrestling fans simply will not let a bit die.
