IMPACT Wrestling’s Josh Alexander On Being IMPACT’s World Champion, Future Career Goals, Canada, Music & More

Since its inception in 2002, IMPACT has established itself as one of the largest professional wrestling organizations in the world and the premier destination for wrestling fans across the globe, enlisting legendary performers such as Ric Flair, Sting, Kurt Angle, Kevin Nash and AJ Styles — and many more — throughout its storied legacy. IMPACT’s current roster showcases a selection of world-class athletes led by IMPACT World Champion Josh Alexander and Knockouts World Champion Jordynne Grace, X-Division Champion “Speedball” Mike Bailey, World Tag Team Champions The Good Brothers (Doc Gallows and Karl Anderson), Knockouts World Tag Team Champions VXT (Deonna Purrazzo & Chelsea Green), and Digital Media Champion Brian Myers. Other IMPACT superstars include Moose, Rich Swann, Sami Callihan, Matt Cardona, Eric Young, PCO, Rhino and Trey Miguel, and its Knockouts Division featuring Rosemary, Taya Valkyrie, Gisele Shaw, Mickie James, Mia Yim and Su Yung.

Later this month, IMPACT Wrestling returns to Dallas for the 2-night Lone Star Stampede. Back-to-back nights of live pro wrestling on Friday and Saturday, August 26 and 27, the event will take place at The Factory in Deep Ellum. The IMPACT Wrestling television trucks will capture all of the in-ring action in Dallas for upcoming episodes of IMPACT’s flagship weekly TV show, which airs on Thursdays at 8:00 PM ET on AXS TV in the U.S., via Fight Network in Canada and through Impact Insiders on YouTube. Among the IMPACT stars who will be in Dallas for these shows are “Speedball” Mike Bailey, The Good Brothers, Eddie Edwards, Brian Myers, Ace Austin, Chris Sabin, Heath, Deonna Purrazzo, Rosemary, Taya Valkyrie, and Josh Alexander. Tickets for the shows can be purchased by clicking here.

Beyond his current run as IMPACT Wrestling World Champion, the 2021 IMPACT Male Wrestler of the Year award-winner and I spoke about his future career goals, his musical preferences and his loyalty to Canada.
