Steve Maclin recently reflected on his No DQ match with PCO at Impact Under Siege, which he won after using a staple gun on PCO’s lips and other brutal moments. Maclin was feeling very proud of his performance in the match, despite getting busted open and being a bloody mess. The match took place on May 26, 2023, and was the main event of the show, with a No DQ stipulation in effect. Maclin hit PCO with a chair and a low blow during the match, and there was a huge cut on his forehead, leading to the blood. The match was for the IMPACT World Championship, and Maclin successfully defended his title. The match was originally scheduled to be a regular title match, but was changed to a No DQ match on May 11, 2023.
