A lot of people might have recently started watching IMPACT and they might not have seen the hard work that's gone on over the past two and a half years so I want to ask about a couple of those names as well before we round up.
You were in the main event with a man who I think has taken the world by storm, who has proven to be one of IMPACT's breakout stars, though you guys were two of the last guys standing in the main event of Slammiversary. Ace Austin. What a talent and what a young talent. What are your thoughts on Ace Austin?
Yeah, he's one of the guys that, going into Slam, him and Trey, obviously the match had changed numerous times and these were two young guys are forgetting your first shot in the main event at the biggest pay per view, at the most hyped up pay-per-view for IMPACT in quite a while and they had to go out there and it's either sink or swim time and clearly they both succeeded in swimming in the main event.
I've worked with Ace Austin before and I know what he's capable of so to see the success that he's had recently, it's a great thing because he's young, his athletic ability is off the charts. He's going out there and proving, week after week, that he does belong on IMPACT, he does belong in the main event and he can deliver in any position you put him in.
It's always good to see somebody who came into IMPACT with not much name value, or came into IMPACT as a relative unknown but then to have the success and every time IMPACT gives him the ball, he runs with it so to see both Ace and Trey do that, that's an accomplishment for the company. That shows what IMPACT is and what IMPACT does for the talent and the opportunities they give us.
I know you have a slight vested interest in the Knockouts Division to say the least. What are your thoughts on just that division? For me, I think it's probably one of the best female rosters in the world. What do you think of the Knockouts Division in impact right now?
I think the Knockouts... I think it's on fire. The whole division. With the amount of Knockouts we have and the talent. The talent the IMPACT division has right now, I think it's off the charts.
There are so many... You talk about IMPACT as a whole that there are so many matchups and different matchups we can do but if you look at the Knockouts Division, there are so many matchups and so much talent that any one of them can be champion on any night.
So the fact that right now Deonna is the champion but the sky is the limit as far as it goes for the Knockouts. I wouldn't be surprised, with the amount of talent and the amount of girls that we have, that maybe they bring back the Knockouts Tag Titles. I wouldn't be opposed to that because I feel like we have that many great athletes in the Knockouts Division that that would be a great thing to do right now.
Completely agree there. And that leads onto another different point I need to ask about. So, bringing back championships. What are your thoughts on Moose holding the TNA World Championship?
However it came to be, it is what it is. Moose wanted to be the champion so therefore he got the belt and he is the champion. With all that being said, he has done a great job as TNA Champion.
Representing this championship belt that had no longer existed but he brought it back and he's turning it into a true championship and you have to applaud him for that. So to see what he's been able to do, to see him take it from nothing into what it is now, that right there is an accomplishment and now there's another championship in IMPACT that people are going to want to fight for.
