Impact Wrestling's Johnny Impact spoke to Wrestling Epicenter's Interactive Wrestling Radio. You can see the full interview at this link, and check out highlights below.
The stars of Lucha Underground becoming even bigger stars in Impact Wrestling:
"As I said when we spoke to promote Lucha Underground Season 2 (back in 2016), I believe the stars of Lucha Underground are some of the best in the world. The formula for a successful professional wrestling promotion is not rocket science. Get the best talent that you can get. Give them guidelines. But then, get out of the talent's way! Nobody knows how to be Fenix, Pentagon, or Willie Mack better than Fenix, Pentagon, or Willie Mack! And, there are some great OG Impact Wrestling talent... Moose, Eddie Edwards, people like that. The cool thing about Impact Wrestling right now is melting pot of talent from different backgrounds... Rich Swann, Ethan Page, the Deaners. (laughs) Killer Kross. All these talents with different backgrounds, from different countries, with different styles in the ring running into each other is, I think, what is really cool about Impact right now!"
On Rob Van Dam coming to Imapct Wrestling:
"Rob is someone who, even before I really started wrestling, I was a huge fan of. Since the day that I met him, I've always had a lot of respect for him in the ring and out of the ring. I would love nothing more than to take him to Slam Town! Mixed tag with me and Taya against him and Katie Forbes... Just me and him. I think eventually, in the world of Impact Wrestling, with a mouth like mine and a mouth like his, eventually... Impact isn't that big of a place. He'll get what he asks for. And, hopefully, I'll get what I ask for too."
