During a recent interview with Jon Alba for the Living The Gimmick podcast, Impact Wrestling Superstar Acey Romero commented on what measures Impact Wrestling has been taking during the pandemic, if he feels safe working, and more. You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On what measures Impact has been taking in the pandemic: “Yeah, Impact’s been taking extreme measures. For starters, they recommend us two weeks before tapings to self-quarantine. And then for tapings itself, we have our own hotel rooms now. Usually we doubled up, but we’ve been having our own hotel rooms, which is been great. And then we get our temperature taken, and we get our blood/oxygen level taken. A bunch of more science-y stuff that I don’t even know about. But they take the measures. Gloves, the antibacterial stuff, all that stuff, EMTs. They take all the measures, and they make sure after tapings that they’re checking people, see how we’re all doing. So I always feel safe. I never felt, or feel worried about coming to work and being at risk.”
On if they’re doing full COVID-19 testing: “Not full-blown COVID testing, as some would say. But like I said, they are doing their best. There’s only a certain amount of people that can be in the studio at a time while taping. Social distancing has definitely been put in play. And like I said, they check in on us to make sure we’re doing well and taking their precautions seriously.”
