Sami Callihan says IMPACT Wrestling isn’t afraid of taking chances, and they are sticking to the plan of giving fans the alternative wrestling product they’ve been asking for.
Callihan recently spoke with Alex McCarthy of TalkSPORT ahead of his World Championship match against Tessa Blanchard at IMPACT’s Hard To Kill pay-per-view on January 12.
Callihan spoke about IMPACT’s position in the wrestling world, noting that the company is taking chances and risks in an era where other promotions are reacting too much to fan feedback. He says people clamored for an “Attitude Era” return for so long and says IMPACT is the closest thing to it as far as giving fans an edgier product.
“People were screaming for an Attitude Era-like company to come back and I feel like IMPACT Wrestling is the closest thing to it. We’re the only company right now that isn’t afraid to offend people, to try new things, we’re not afraid to push the envelope and give you an edgy product and we’re not going to apologise for every single thing like a lot of the other companies. The other companies,” Callihan said, “if they see the internet wrestling community is upset, they just want to apologise about it instead of actually staying the course and giving people an alternative.”
