Impact Wrestling continues to add to their talent as it’s been reported by Pat Laprade’s “Les Anti-Pods de la Lutte” podcast that PCO signed with Impact Wrestling following his appearance at Hard To Kill.
The deal allows PCO to work independent shows with the priority being Impact Wrestling dates.
PCO appeared with other ROH members at Hard To Kill, and then the following Impact Wrestling tapings for ROH’s invasion storyline.
The Invasion storyline features PCO, Mike Bennett, Maria Kanellis, Matt Taven, and Vincent as they’ve recently targeted Rhino, Heath, Rich Swann, Eddie Edwards, and Willie Mack.
As mentioned on “Les Anti-Pods de la Lutte” podcast, following his appearance at Hard to Kill last Saturday, I have learned that PCO has signed a contract with Impact Wrestling. The contract allows him to work on the indies, but he’ll have to prioritize Impact’s dates. pic.twitter.com/Zle5RimPHA

Former Quebecer
For older fans, PCO looks familiar because he is. The 54 year old is a former WWE three time tag team champion as part of the Quebecers in the 1990s.
After going back and forth from the WWE to WCW in the late 90s, he then worked the independent circuit before joining Impact (then TNA), back to the Indies, then ROH and now he’s returned to Impact.
It’s been a good career and it’s great to see him back in Impact Wrestling again.
PCO brings another veteran presence to Impact that’ll help the current storyline as well as their young talent develop.
He came to Impact after telling ROH that he would leave the company when his contract expired at the end of November.
Then in October, ROH announced they were hitting the pause button to reimagine the company for their return in April.
In the interim, PCO has worked with Game Changer Wrestling where former WWE and Impact Wrestling star Matt Cardona has made a name for himself in death matches.
Starting an influx?
While there’s no indication of it happening, PCO signing with Impact could begin an influx of talent from ROH as more of their contracts expire.
It’d make sense as everyone likes to have regular paydays as well as the freedom to move around and work elsewhere.
The influx may not even be from ROH as Impact has an open door policy and welcome anyone to work with them.
Another possibility is the rumor that Anthem Sports & Entertainment could purchase the company and merge it with Impact. With Impact’s growing popularity since they started working with AEW, it’s a possibility.
But that’s pure speculation at this point, it’s always fun to envision what could happen. Especially given how so many say Impact is willing to work with them and give creative freedom other companies don’t.
