Impact Wrestling’s Jeremy Borash recently spoke with Sportskeeda and below are some interview highlights:
PG: So this isn’t your first time in India. You were here before for Ring Ka King and now you’re back with Impact. How are you liking it so far?
JB: Great. I love it here. Every time we come here we see different things. I got to see more of Mumbai this time than last time we were here. Last time we were based in Pune. It’s an amazing city and there are about 75 amazing cities I want to go see in India. So there’s a still a lot to do, a lot of travelling.
PG: You guys taped four episodes this time, what are your future plans for India and your expansion here?
JB: I’m going to be moving into your place in about a month and then we’re going to open up shop together, right? That’s what we talked about last night. You said that was your dream and that could be a reality, my friend, with the way things are going right now.
India is such an emerging market with different cultures and the more that you’re here, the more you realise that. The opportunities are just ridiculous here. An old codger myself, I’m a little bored with the American fans, to be honest. Well, not exactly bored, but it’s taken on a whole different kind of turn – the fan-wrestler relationship in the States and in a lot of places is different.
Here, I think it’s just genuine enthusiasm and excitement. Most of all, the fans appreciate good drama and they like a good show. I think that’s what brought me to wrestling – the show, the spectacle, the lights and the glamour and everything that goes with it. I think that’s really appreciated here in the presentation of it all. Sometimes I think that part is lost in America.
PG: What can fans can expect from Slammiversary 15?
JB: We have 4 weeks of television building up to it on Sony Six which is going to be incredible. We were talking about this last night, I don’t remember a PPV that had a build like this one on Impact so I think over the next several weeks getting to Slammiversary, you’re going to see some really good shows.
I’m so excited over Lashley taking on Alberto El Patron. LAX will be involved in a big matchup that we will announce. Top to bottom it’s going to be a stellar card so I can’t wait for Slammiversary. I can’t wait for you to sing me happy 15th birthday Impact Wrestling because 15 is a big one. It’s a long time to be around and we’re happy to be here.
