Recently, Josh Alexander would break a record in Impact Wrestling as the longest reigning Impact World Champion of all time. He’s on his way to being the longest reigning champion in company history as well, with a NWA World Championship reign of Jeff Jarrett currently holding that record – with Alexander on pace to break that. He’s been the perfect face of the company, especially coming out of a period when AEW tried and failed to put eyes on the product with a rather one sided partnership.
Josh Alexander Feels Impact Wrestling Can Stand Up To The Best In The Industry
Ahead of Impact Wrestling’s Hard To Kill PPV this Friday, Josh Alexander would sit down with the The Wrestling Perspective podcast. During this interview, Alexander would be asked his thoughts on the now seemingly defunct partnership between Impact & All Elite Wrestling.
“During the whole, especially during the Kenny part portion where he was the champion and all this other stuff, there was definitely like a cloud over the locker room, I’d say you’d hear whispers and little conversation in the corner being like, ‘Man, like, the doors swing in one direction right now. They’re all coming in here.’ You know what I mean? That’s fine. It elevates our product to have new faces and stuff competing with our guys to put us on the same level, of course, like me defeating Christian Cage.
That’s like, another thing that, you know, we have to be grateful for, obviously, and I’m very grateful for that opportunity. But it would have been real nice if some Impact wrestlers could have got on to the AEW programming and showing what we could do against those guys, because I think, you know, our locker room stacks up right up there with any locker room in this business, be it WWE, AEW, New Japan, anything like that.”
Alexander is set to defend the Impact World Championship against Bully Ray at Hard to Kill. Will he remain champion? Should AEW have played host to major Impact talent during the reign of Omega? Let us know what you think in the comment section down below.
