37 year old Brian Myers has come into his own since the WWE released him in April 2020 and he joined Impact Wrestling in July 2020.
He’s had a good run and has really found his niche as “The Most Professional Wrestler” and a heel, making the most of every opportunity as he’s moved up and down the roster in various ways.
Brian Myers Resigned with Impact Wrestling Through 2023
And in a recent interview with Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated (https://www.si.com/wrestling/2022/12/29/brian-myers-extends-contract-with-impact-wrestling ), Myers talked about when he came to Impact Wrestling and his decision to resign with them.
“This was an easy decision for me. It’s a place where my talent is going to get the most opportunity. That’s what is important to me. I think what we do in the ring is so precious. Father Time is eventually going to get us all, but I don’t want to stop doing what I’m doing until I have to. This is very important to me.”
More than a talent
While Myers career has seen a rebirth in Impact along with Matt Cardona as the tag team The Major Players and they’re targeting tag team gold at Hard To Kill, he also advises Impact Wrestling on their merchandising.
As an action figure/toy collector along with Cardona, it gave him a special insight into merchandising, and he wanted to rekindle what it used to be like with Don West in TNA.
“When I first came in was a real down time for Impact in their overall merchandising. To me, as a lifelong Impact fan, I grew up with Don West hustling everything imaginable. They were the kings of merchandise. But when I came in, there wasn’t a Don West-type guy. Matt and I built something special with our podcast and toy line, turning our passion into business. We almost became toy insiders. So we helped Impact relaunched the Micro-Brawlers. We helped initiate the Impact Wrestling action figure deal with Asylum Wrestling. Luke Gallows really helped out with the t-shirts. We hooked them up with a VHS deal that was a cool collectible. Now it’s really rolling, and I appreciate being part of that team as a consultant.”
To go along with what he’s achieved and hopes to achieve, his chief source of pride is his Create A Pro wrestling school that’s considered one of the best in the country is cranking out talent and he hopes to have someone from his school in every company starting with Impact Wrestling.
“One of my goals for 2023 is to get a Create A Pro talent with me at Impact Wrestling. “Tony Khan has scooped up every single one so far, but I’d like to get to the point where there is a Create A Pro talent in every promotion, starting with Impact.”
Myers accomplishments are awesome to see and we look forward to him eventually winning the Impact World Championship before his run is over.
