Madman Fulton on World Championship aspirations, Sami Callihan & more [Exclusive]

IMPACT currently has quite a few veterans and legends in the locker room. The likes of Ken Shamrock, Rob Van Dam, Rhino and Tommy Dreamer. What's it like getting to work alongside people like that?

It's kind of crazy, you know? It's people that you grew up watching, and you watch a guy like, say, Dreamer. I grew up watching him on the old ECW and I'd watch these guys rush down to the ring to save him, the Dudleys would come out, beat the hell out of him, they would come out as these baby faces and save him. It's kind of a feeling of alignment in that position.

Now I'm the one causing all that havoc.

We all go back to the confidence, I'm someone who has proven myself to a high enough level that I can be in the ring with the likes of Dreamer and Rhino, and Shamrock. Be able to learn from these guys and not only from their lives outside the ring but watching them and taking the time to see how they move on and up close and personal level, that is absolutely amazing.

You said you've got a lot of confidence and those people have set quite the benchmark. What are your goals and aspirations for 2020?

You know, I've been thinking about it a lot, I took a lot of 2019 to establish myself as a monster, as a threat to the rest of the roster, and I proved to everybody that I am more than just this guy who failed in NXT. I think I've done that in 2019, and I look at the landscape now of IMPACT Wrestling, and with Sami Callihan gone and just how things are laid out, I don't think a World Championship is out of my grasp. I've set my sights and my goals on that.

I have two years left on contract and I think, within two years, that is an extremely unobtainable goal.

Finally, who would be your dream match in wrestling?

I hate to go back to him, but Kane would be one of the guys I wish I could set foot in there with. I've had a few run-ins with the likes of Abyss and Kongo Kong out on the indies and, for me, I want to establish myself as one of the better big men in professional wrestling, and I know that Kane is one of those guys that is always going to have that moniker, and to be able to go up against someone I've idolised so much would be really awesome.

To this day, I still have an autographed picture that I got from when I was a kid hanging up in my house.
