And just like that, the hits keep coming for WWE and Impact Wrestling signed away another talent Vince McMahon buried to bolster their roster as they agreed to terms with Curt Hawkins (Bryan Myers).
With EC3, Eric Young, Karl Anderson, and Doc Gallows making their Impact Wrestling return at Slammiversary on Saturday July 18 helped the pay-per-view trend worldwide and increased the Viewership for IMPACT on Tuesday night.
Also on Tuesday, it was announced that Impact had signed Bryan Myers. Myers also let Vince McMahon know through twitter.
Well, @VinceMcMahon
I’m sorry, I love you.

More than mid card wrestlers
While most fans will discount these moves as they were invisible or mid card wrestlers in the WWE, it’s important to note that each of them had very good to great careers before being bought and buried by Vince McMahon.
For many, this is a breath of fresh air that they can let their creative juices flow now that they’re not being micromanaged and they actually get to do something besides sit around for crowd shots, chase a 24/7 champion around, or be jobber.
In many ways, the old phrase “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure” applies here as Hawkins will only help improve an already solid and entertaining Impact Wrestling.
Disgruntled former employees
There’s been one constant among former WWE employees, and that’s about the working conditions.
Just about everyone that’s left and spoken about it publicly haven’t been kind, and they’ve effectively burned their bridge unless they’re desperate enough to eat crow and return or McMahon decides he needs them and thinks he can make money off them.
So far, Myers has kept relatively quiet compared to a few of the others until his farewell message that may go over as him joking around.
Still, he had a decent run at Impact Wrestling in 2015 and there’s no reason he shouldn’t be able to do even better going forward.
What’s really cool is Impact has resigned a solid core of talent they previously lost and it puts them on solid footing going forward.
Things should only become more exciting when fans can come back to the shows and let their voices be heard.
We’ve often said Impact Wrestling is the cockroach of professional wrestling, and they’re showing there’s life around the corner. The question is, will they stick it out this time or run back to WWE at the end of their contracts?
