IMPACT Wrestling had a big 2020, especially making wrestling fans take notice with its new signings around July’s Slammiversary pay-per-view, including The Good Brothers (“Machine Gun” Karl Anderson and “The Big LG” Doc Gallows), Brian Myers, EC3, Eric Young and Heath Miller, all of whom prior wrestling champions. As of late, AEW World Champion Kenny Omega has been making appearances on IMPACT-related programming, showing the company’s innovative approach to working with Meanwhile, IMPACT itself — which airs on Tuesday nights at 8:00 PM EST / 7:00 PM CST, as followed by the IMPACT In 60 program — is regularly the highest-rated show on the AXS TV network.

One of the mainstay stars of IMPACT Wrestling since 2016 has been Moose, an NFL veteran who was voted professional wrestling’s 2015 Rookie Of The Year by Pro Wrestling Illustrated. Moose has since become a 2-time IMPACT Grand Championship holder and is the current TNA Heavyweight Champion. Among the former world champions Moose has defeated within IMPACT are Ken Shamrock, Rob Van Dam, EC3, Tommy Dreamer, Eddie Edwards and Rhino. This Saturday on IMPACT PLUS! as part of Genesis, Moose will be wrestling Willie Mack as part of a highly-anticipated “I Quit” match.

I had the pleasure of interviewing Moose again on January 5, 2021 via Zoom, as embedded below.
