• Former WWE Wrestler On Why Impact Wrestling Is On The Rise
During a recent appearance on X-Pac 12360 podcast, former WWE Cruiserweight Champion and current Impact Wrestling wrestler Rich Swann talked about the reasons that have Impact on the rise, Vader passing away, wife Su Yung’s character on Impact and more.
Below are the highlights:
On the reasons that have Impact on the rise:
“The roster is amazing. Wherever I land on Impact, I am happy with because I’m just trying to have great matches and I am happy I am with Impact. The company is growing, it’s on national TV. The guys are wrestling everywhere it doesn’t matter if it’s Ring of Honor or New Japan. Slammiversary had a sprinkle of everything and it culminated and made it like, ‘Boom! This is Impact!’. The production value is amazing, how they present stuff, [the] promos and packages are unique. I think that catches people eye. I think another thing that has Impact on an upward is just the wrestling. The wrestling right now is hotter than ever.”
On Vader passing away:
“Everybody was sad. I know I thought he was dope, I got to meet him a couple times [and] he was nice to me. Of course, I didn’t really know him personally like that you know but as a performer, and as a guy. I met him a couple times it was really nice, it’s a loss. I know I watched a couple of Vader matches, Vader moonsault highlights. He is definitely going to be missed.”
On wife Su Yung’s character on Impact:
“It’s chilling because that’s somebody that I see every day. But to see her transform and her character and especially how they [Impact] push behind it. The product and how they shoot it. And like how she just makes it her own, you know what I’m saying? It’s definitely like Muta-esque but she turned it into her own. For example, one of the dopest clips that they’ve done for her, when they had all the bridesmaids around the casket that they put Rosemary in and she’s got the Impact Knockouts Championship and she’s posing like she’s about to do the mist but it comes out as fire and burns the coffin. That was insane. The production value of that was nuts, it was awesome. That’s just another thing you know what I’m saying to show that Impact is on the rise. She definitely works that character.”
• WWE Hall Of Famer Takes A Shot At A “Smaller” Brock Lesnar From This Week’s RAW
As we noted before, current WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar has entered the USADA drug testing pool and they have begun testing Lesnar as Lesnar is set to make a return to the UFC Octagon next year for a UFC Heavyweight Title fight against Daniel Cormier.
With that being said, Lesnar looked a little smaller compared to his usual size (especially from shoulders and neck) on this week’s RAW.
WWE Hall of Famer “Superstar” Billy Graham took a shot at Lesnar for this and you can read what he posted on Facebook below:
“Brock Lesnar
Where Have You Gone ?
Fans, In this photo below taken at last Monday’s Raw in Miami, we all see a very diminished in muscular size of one Mr. Lesnar. Thus, showing everyone who has eyes to see the power of steroids and the power of NOT taking steroids. As all of us know Lesnar is getting ready to drop the totally worthless Universal Title to Roman Reigns at Summerslam on August 19th. Or, the next night on Raw.
He is obviously taking the UFC drug testing policy seriously and does not want to get caught taking roids before he makes maybe a cool 3 million dollars or thereabout for this fight soon into 2019. I couldn’t care less if he gets his ass kicked or does the ass kicking. I just wanted to show you great fans the power of steroids to make one into a very powerful and muscular man, or in this case a man who appears to be wasting away from not taking the juice.”
