In a recent appearance on “The Wrestling Perspective Podcast”, Eric Young revealed that he doesn’t have a pen-to-paper deal with Impact Wrestling just yet, but instead has a personal agreement with Scott D’Amore. Young expects to sign a deal soon. He said,
“I think it’s something that we could cross that bridge as far as contracts go. I’m under an agreement with Scott right now, and we’re working on it. There’s actually some really cool stuff that will probably come out in October/November. An opportunity I have with Anthem and with Access. So the deal is really complicated, and that’s why it’s kind of taking so long, but I will definitely be there up until the Emergence Pay-Per-View in Toronto and hope to be past that as well. I would be very surprised if we didn’t work something out”
Last month on AEW Collision, The House of Black defeated The Acclaimed and Billy Gunn, with Daddy Ass leaving his boots in the ring after the match, signaling his retirement.
In a recent interview with Chrissy Chaos, Anthony Bowens stated that he wasn’t aware that Gunn would retire on that night. He said,
“No, I really didn’t. I don’t think the cameras caught it, but I get very emotional when I’m out there because I get connected to the audience, I don’t think I’ve cried in a wrestling ring. I got teary eyed because he stood up and his face was beat red, and at this point in our careers where Billy has been such a beacon of light for us, he’s been guiding us from the beginning since we joined up with him last year. He guided us to the AEW Tag Team Titles in New York City. He’s been teaching us a ton of stuff every single week. To think about not having him out there with us, it hurts.”
