Scott D’Amore Says He Has To Get Big Mercedes Mone Match ‘Done’

IMPACT Wrestling CEO Scott D’Amore was one of many wrestling names in attendance at last weekend’s NJPW Battle In The Valley show.

The show featured Mercedes Mone’s return to the ring, when she defeated KAIRI to become the second IWGP Women’s Champion.

D’Amore appeared on Busted Open Radio, where he spoke about meeting Mercedes at the event.

He said:

“Got to meet Mercedes, our paths had never crossed. Obviously, I’m a huge fan of her and everything she’s done. It was a great opportunity to meet her and chat with her after an unbelievable match with her and KAIRI.

“I don’t think KAIRI has ever gotten the love and respect she deserves. She’s outstanding. That elbow of hers is among the best in the business and maybe the coolest to watch. Her and Mercedes went out there in front of a packed crowd and put on a world title match that I thought was outstanding. The wrestling was amazing, the emotion was fantastic.

“Talking to her afterward, Mercedes is obviously a very focused and passionate professional. Her wrestling is top notch, her attitude seemed great,”

Mercedes also recently said that she hopes to face off with current IMPACT Knockouts Champion Mickie James, to which D’Amore said that he has to ‘get this done’.

He said:

“We have to get you two in a ring somewhere and get this done.”
