IMPACT World Champion Eddie Edwards chats Slammiversary, new recruits & more [Exclusive]

Eddie Edwards has proven that he is indeed Hard To Kill

We've mentioned numerous times over the past few minutes that IMPACT is maybe hotter than ever right now. That has been the result of years of hard work, it's not an overnight success by any means.

Even looking at Twitch on Tuesday, 8000 live viewers at the peak of the Twitch stream which is obviously a simulcast with AXS TV. Trending on Twitter several times. I think this may be the most exciting time that I remember in modern history of IMPACT. How exciting is it for yourself and the rest of the roster, and what can we expect going forward from you guys?

I mean, it's unbelievably exciting. Obviously with the success of Slam and then we had the TV tapings following it, everyone was walking out on cloud nine. We all felt good momentum and everything. It's also a time where we can't... We are going to be comfortable and we are not going to get complacent.

I feel like we are all on the same page with that. Slam was a success. The last IMPACT episode was a success but we need to do that each and every week and I feel like that's not something we are missing. We know what we need to go out there and do so, sure, we can be happy about it, that's fine, but it's all about the next week and the next match, we cannot get happy with last week's win. We have to go out there and do it again next week.

100%. And I think that's the hunger that has made IMPACT thrive over the last couple of years and got you to this point so why change?

I have one final question. We've mentioned it a lot but I don't think I'll get sick of mentioning it and you won't get sick of hearing it.

You ARE at the World Champion. You're the guy at the top of the food chain right now. Who do you want to defend it against first?

You know, right now, we talked about Eric Young coming back. I feel like me and him, we can really do some good things in that ring, inside and outside. Our personalities, styles, just everything combines. I look forward to defending the title against him in the future. I feel like we can do some great things.
