Various: Josh Alexander on Impact Wrestling & AEW Partnership, Friday’s NJPW Strong Card, Indies

Josh Alexander Comments on Impact Wrestling’s Partnership with AEW

A recent episode of the Alliance Pro Wrestling Network podcast had Josh Alexander as the guest and one of the topics discussed included his thoughts on Impact Wrestling’s current partnership with AEW.

“I just know that I would be very excited at the thought of any of us being able to go there [AEW] and show what we can do because I think there’s a lot of talent in our locker room and we have as much if not more talent than their locker room, so, I like competition. I think competition breeds some of the best results for professional wrestling so if we’re competitive and we’re like, ‘Team IMPACT and Team AEW’ and we’re out there to show who’s best, I think everybody’s gonna rise to the occasion, it’s gonna be better for it so, if it can happen, it needs to happen.”
