Former WWE star Eric Young believes that Impact Wrestling is the only promotion right now that is moving forward. Eric Young joined Impact Wrestling in 2019 after a failed main roster run in the WWE. Since then he is going well and it seems like he can take back his glory days along with the promotion.
Young has wrestled in the Impact Wrestling for 12 long years. He joined the promotion way back in 2004 when it was going by the name of Total Nonstop Action. He had been through so many different personas and gimmicks in the process and he played everything perfectly.
Eric Young Believes Impact Is The Only Wrestling Promotion That Is “Moving Forward”
The 41-year-old recently appeared on Nashville Sports Radio where he discussed a number of different topics. He said Impact is the only promotion right now that is moving forward, he also said that he is proud to be a part of it;
It feels like it’s not tradition, but that is where I feel IMPACT has had a lot of its very good success. You know obviously, there’s a hole on Thursdays where we won’t be running directly against another wrestling show and that’s the right decision.
The people in management at IMPACT have done an unbelievable job, you’ve [radio host] been around. This is a company that’s grown by leaps and bounds during a global pandemic and… you don’t like it and you don’t understand what IMPACT’s doing, that’s fine but you have to at least respect the fact that it might be the only wrestling company that’s moving forward. It is on the smaller scale and for sure, it is the smaller fish in the big pond but the truth is they’re swimming in circles and we’re swimming forward and I believe that with my heart.
Why He feels proud to be a part of Impact right now:
It’s really cool to be part of something that was established by me and by James [Storm] and thousands of other men and women and put on the map and now it’s growing again, back into a prominent thing. I think pound for pound, if you’re a wrestling fan, this is the best professional wrestling show on television right now.
It’s not the best television show, it may not be the best sports-entertainment show but if you’re a pro wrestling fan and you’re not watching IMPACT, then you’re missing on the best pro wrestling show written by professional wrestlers for professional wrestling fans so it’s, to me, there’s no doubt in my mind and I’m proud to be part of it.
It was not that Young’s complete WWE run was bad. He was doing really good in the NXT with his faction – Sanity. But things did not go pretty well in the main roster. We hope to see he will become one of the best in the business under Impact Wrestling.
