Joe Doering recently appeared as a guest on the Inside The Ropes podcast for an in-depth interview covering all things pro wrestling.
During the discussion, the IMPACT Wrestling veteran spoke about how fans should give the promotion a chance, his upcoming showdown against Josh Alexander, as well as his thoughts on his run thus far in the company.
Featured below are some of the highlights from the interview where he touches on these topics with his thoughts.
On his run so far in IMPACT: “I think the timing just turned out to be right. It was time for me to try to grow outside of Japan, try to get into the American market and therefore the world market. And the timing was just right on that. As far as my first year and a half of Impact it’s been great. Been learning a lot and it’s good to hang out with some really good guys and cause a lot of destruction with Violent by Design. So it’s been so far, so good.”
On facing Josh Alexander: “Well, I think it’s definitely going to be a battle. He’s a great wrestler and a great warrior. He’s going to feel my power in my wrath, so it’s gonna be a a heck of a battle. I’m very confident I can come out on top of that. I’ve already beat him once. So my strength, my power is going to prevail this Friday at Against All Odds against josh, and I will be walking out the new heavyweight champion.”
On how fans should give IMPACT a chance: “I think the proof is in the pudding, as we say over here. If you watch it, you’re gonna like it. If you’re a wrestling fan you’re gonna like it. Our roster is awesome, period. I mean, check us out, give us a chance. I know there’s a lot of wrestling to watch every week, so I get it. But if you give us a chance, I think you’re gonna like it.”
