IMPACT Star Names Which Released WWE Stars He Wants To Join The Promotion

An IMPACT Wrestling star has listed a few now-released WWE stars who he would like to see join the promotion in the future.

In an interview with Sportskeeda, Michael Elgin named Rusev, the Revival and more as names he’d want to see brought in.

He said:

“You know, I think that FTR, former Revival, would be amazing. I think we have a very strong tag team division and I think they would greatly add to it. For myself, personally, I think the number one of the free agents recently that have opened up would be Rusev. I saw so much in him in WWE that I think he can really do something special and obviously past greats of Impact Wrestling, EC3 and Eric Young, are now available and I would love to be able to show what I can do against guys who once helped put Impact at the forefront.”

Elgin also spoke about IMPACT’s heavy use of stars of the past, saying:

“I think it’s a two-sided coin. What I mean by that is, obviously, they are taking spots that could be utilized for younger people but those younger people don’t have the value that they do, so they’re needed. I don’t mean that as a slight towards them, I don’t mean that as a negative because if someone is flipping through the channels that hasn’t seen Impact for a while and watched wrestling for a while – but sees a Rob Van Dam, a Rhino, a Tommy Dreamer or a Ken Shamrock, that might make them tune in.

“Not only that, they have such experience and been to so many different places and learn from so many great people and they are in positions to be the best they are and the best they can be, so they can help the younger guys on the roster with knowledge to help us perform, you know? We have a young roster, like you said, which has a lot of people who don’t have the experience of wrestling on a big stage, wrestling on a live pay-per-view, wrestling on TV weekly. But they have years and years and years, that can help provide inspiration and tools for the younger talent to be the best they can be on our product so I think they are very valuable to the company.”
