IMPACT Wrestling Star Heath On This Year’s “Bound For Glory,” Goals, Music, Investing & 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, 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, and Su Yung.

Back in October 2020, no one was quite sure whether the man known as Heath was indeed an IMPACT Wrestling signing as he came into the IMPACT ranks wearing a “free agent” shirt. That year, he appeared at the company’s Bound For Glory pay-per-view as part of a 20-man “Call Your Shot” Gauntlet Match. This year, on October 7th, Heath will be competing in another Gauntlet Match as part of this year’s Bound For GloryPro Wrestling Illustrated. Tickets for those IMPACT shows can be purchased here.

On September 30, 2022, I had the pleasure of speaking with the aforementioned Heath again via Zoom, as embedded below. Beyond his current run with IMPACT Wrestling, Heath and I spoke about his future career goals, his musical preferences, his old feud with Flo Rida, family life, and his success within real estate investing. More information on Heath can be found here, here and here.
