Sportskeeda meets Eric Young
Our interview with IMPACT Wrestling star Eric Young continues below.
So we know Eric Young vs. Eddie Edwards seems to be something we will see in the future and that's a match with "main event" written all over it.
On the opposite end of that scale, since we know you've worked with Eddie in the past - and I have no doubt Eric Young vs. Eddie Edwards will be great - but who else would Eric Young love to work with?
You're back in IMPACT, you're the veteran. I'm sure young talents will be lining up to face Eric Young - but have any young talents caught Eric Young's eye, or even any that you're desperate to work with?
"Yeah, even just the one match that I've had since being back the guys from the Treehouse are all super-interesting, super-exciting."
"Trey obviously was in the match that I was in and really held his own, and a guy I hadn't really seen a lot of. I'm quickly trying to pay as much to the shows and go back and watch some of the recent pay-per-views to watch people, get acquainted with what people do and who they are, and what they bring. I feel like that's an important part of a being a professional but there are tons, just tons of guys."
"Like you said, even other guys, a guy like Rhino is a guy that me and him have worked together on and off for 10-12 years, and we've never really worked or shared the ring. I think we've tagged a couple of times and we've been involved in a couple of things but we've never really worked."
"Shamrock is another guy that I respect a great deal. I've always enjoyed him. Like I say, he's a super great dude, great professional but I'd like to test myself against someone like him."
"The North, young, two guys from Canada that I'm pretty familiar with who are unbelievable. The Machine Guns are back. I've had my battles with those guys before."
"It's a long list."
"It's exciting to think, the position I'm in and the fact that IMPACT is definitely a collaborative effort which, for any person who is any kind of performer, there is nothing more rewarding than that. It's very very understated but ultra-talented writing and creative team and really, the sky is the limit."
"There is a budget and we don't have unlimited money, and they've not been around for 100 years but it's at the crux. I think everybody can feel the groundswell and IMPACT Wrestling at this point is trending up, even in the pandemic."
"It might be the only wrestling company that is growing and I think there's a lot to be said about that, Young said."
"When we get back in front of live crowds, maybe possibly in the future start doing live shows and roadshows, expanding the roster, developing the current members of the roster, making it better week in and week out, that's what everyone wants to do. That is exciting to be part of that. I can't say that enough."
"Literally, I'm bursting. My soul, it feels so good to be in a place like that where you don't feel as handcuffed and you're not pushed into a corner. Everyone is allowed to excel and do what they do, that's what IMPACT Wrestling is about. It's about showing everyone's strengths and highlighting them."
