Top IMPACT Wrestling Star Eric Young recently appeared on the Angle Podcast to talk about a number of topics such as how even though the collaboration between AEW and IMPACT Wrestling was there, he feels there were still a lot of missed opportunities.
Eric Young said:
“Yeah, I mean, I think there’s opportunities in all the companies. It’s a really wild time to be a wrestling fan where, it could happen that Rich Swann was our world champion, wrestled Kenny Omega as their world champion, and that’s never really happened before. Two televised wrestling companies working together. I don’t think it worked out as well as anyone kind of hoped it would have, I feel like there were a lot of missed opportunities that could have gone back and forth both ways.”
Eric Young also talked about how 10 years ago there were dream matches that couldn't happen and a lot of rules, but now promotions work together and the whole wrestling world gets to experience it.
Eric Young said:
“But I mean, the reality is, as far as a wrestler, and definitely as a wrestling fan is, there’s not as many rules as there used to be, which is super cool, right? You could think, ‘Oh, man, what a dream match! This guy versus this guy, or this group versus this group.’ 10 years ago, that didn’t happen. The companies don’t work together, legally, they were not allowed to do those things. Now it’s happening and it’s happening in real time. I’m getting to see it and experience it. So I don’t know if I can name a single name or a single group, but I would be open to it. Because like I said, I’m experiential, and I want to, I want to experience it all, good, bad or indifferent.”
