Rhyno Expresses His Happiness On His Recent Success In Impact Wrestling
In 1999 he joined the Extreme Championship Wrestling aka ECW which was a very famous professional wrestling promotion back in that time. He had been used repeated as a main event star and won the ECW World Heavyweight Championship one time and the ECW World Television Championship for two times in total.
He worked with ECW till it went extinct in 2001 and directly joined WWE as the promotion was purchased by Vince McMahon and a lot of stars of it went on to join the WWE. Rhyno was one of them. But it was quite unfortunate that WWE never treated him as a main event star.
But everywhere else event he had been featured as a main event star. Even on the promotion of WWE back in that time it was TNA wrestling also treated him as a main event star. He is currently active only Impact Wrestling and doing quite good. Even at the age of 46 he is giving great matches. We hope he has a long way to go.
Rhyno who is also a former NWA World Heavyweight Champion recently spoke to Tom Hannifan on Outside The Ropes where he expressed his happiness on winning the Impact Tag Team Championship with Heath Slater. He said;
“You know, that’s one thing we talked about, [the] Heath For Impact [stoyline], and that’s a goal we set. And at the beginning of the year we made a promise to the fans and made it public in our goals. And you know, when he came in and he got hurt, I was there for him.
“And then same thing, he was there for me when Honor No More tried to put us out. But it’s like one of those things where you accomplish something you set out to do. And it’s so rewarding when you’re sitting here with the titles around your waist or on your shoulder. And then you know, the battle just begins because everyone is coming for you.”
