The 'Bound for Glory' card is looking really good so far. I'm not a regular iMPACT watcher but I think I might try to make it a point to watch that show. :leon:

You are more than welcomed to cross the line and enjoy the show with us :blessed:

During a recent interview with WhatCulture Wrestling, former Impact Wrestling World Champion Josh Alexander discussed his current status with Impact Wrestling and not thinking about going anywhere else. Below are some highlights (via Fightful):

Josh Alexander on how he’s happy being in Impact Wrestling: “I mean, I’m not really thinking about it because it would just stress me out to be honest. I know how much longer left here in IMPACT Wrestling on my current deal and I’m very happy here, i’ve been the flag bearer here for a little while, that’s kind of been the unofficial title put on me, especially when we do these media things and stuff like that. I’m happy to do it because I was a fan at 15 years old, I ordered that first pay-per-view and I never missed a pay-per-view after that because this company introduced me to all of these wrestlers that inspired me to get in the ring in the first place.”

On what he owes Impact: “I think I owe this company a little bit before doing that because I don’t think there would be a Josh Alexander if there was never a TNA on Wednesday Nights, that’s just the way it breaks down. It just comes the time, whenever the times comes that I have to look at what I’ve done in this wrestling industry as a whole, with IMPACT Wrestling as a whole, and see if there’s anything more I can do or if I’m valued. If not, maybe it’s time to try something else and achieve something else because I always want to be challenged, I always want to keep progressing. If I’m stagnant, that’s when I become miserable and that’s just the way my personality is. Right now, I’m super challenged, I want to get that IMPACT WORLD Championship back and not think about everything else because it’ll just cloud my mind and stress me out a little bit.

The Kingdom spent most of 2022 in Impact Wrestling, and Matt Taven recently looked back on his time there. Taven recently spoke with Fightful for a new interview and talked about the group’s run in the company as part of Honor No More. You can see some highlights below:

On his time in Impact Wrestling: “Well the Impact Wrestling locker room is one of the best locker rooms I’ve ever been a part of. That says a lot because Ring of Honor was such a family, especially towards the end. We really had this mentality of us against the world. During the pandemic we became even closer than I could even imagine. So it was tough. Once that came to an end, none of us knew what was going to happen next. So to find ourselves in Impact in a place where, for the first time in ten years, I’m in a foreign locker room. I’m like, ‘Oh, I’m the odd man out, all of a sudden.’ But at the same time, there’s so many familiar faces from Moose, obviously Eddie Edwards, and a bunch of other guys that had been in Ring of Honor in the past and places like here in Greektown, you run into a bunch of people. I saw Bhupinder, who I haven’t seen since Impact. There was so many familiar faces once we got there, once we finally got our stride, it was like, ‘Oh, man. This could be a home for a little bit.’”

On how he viewed his run there: “But at the same time, we were looking to keep our momentum going. We had come to the end with Ring of Honor unfortunately and a lot of us didn’t know what was going to happen next. All of a sudden we got a phone call, it’s less than a month after my last match against the Briscoes in Ring of Honor, and here I am showing up at Impact. I just looked at it as another challenge, as another place to make my name and to cement my legacy and the fact that I can say I was also am Impact Tag Champions is another check on the resume or CV.”

During a recent interview with Metro UK’s Alistair McGeorge, Impact Wrestling Knockouts Champion Trinity discussed her relationship with former champion Mickie James. The two will face each other later this month at Bound for Glory. Below are some highlights:

Trinity on facing Mickie James: “It’s a lot of pressure, but I’m prepared for it and I’m excited for it, but Mickie is one of the greatest of all time, and a good friend of mine. So this is definitely a different element going into this match and this fight – one that I’ve never experienced before. There’s no friction, there’s no shade, there’s no bad blood, there’s nothing between she and I other than this title. Which is a lot in itself, you know?!”

On her title run: “This championship has given me so much and has brought me so much joy and has lifted me up in my life, in my career, in this world of wrestling. I just can’t let this go right now.”

The match goes down at Impact Wrestling’s Bound for Glory on Saturday, October 21 at the Cicero Stadium in Chicago, Illinois. The event will be broadcast live on pay-per-view.
