Last week Impact Wrestling star Chris Bey signed a multi year deal to remain with the company. The former X Division champion was on the Vegas Bad Boyz of Podcasting show and indicated why he chose to remain with Impact Wrestling for years to come.
“I had a great time the last couple of years with IMPACT Wrestling. I’m having a great time and for me, re-signing was a no-brainer because one, there’s never been a locker room I’ve been in that felt more like a family and two, I owe it to the kid inside who was on YouTube unboxing the IMPACT World Championship at 14 years old. I remember that day like it was yesterday,” Bey said.
“I owe it to that kid to become the world champion or at least strive to face Josh Alexander or strive to face whoever may be world champion when my time comes on a big platform, on a big, marquee match. I had an opportunity two years ago against Rich Swann and I love that opportunity, I love that moment, it’s one of my greatest accomplishments but if I can change anything about that night, it was the result. I should have walked out as world champion, I should’ve worked harder to get the world championship and I’m gonna work harder and put myself through unimaginable pain and sacrifice in order to get that championship because I know that the harder I work, that doesn’t mean that the result will just come to me but the harder I work, the more prepared I’ll be for when that opportunity comes.”
Chris Bey has been currently teaming with Ace Austin as part of The Bullet Club.
While Josh Alexander currently has his hands full with Bully Ray and Frankie Kazarian, he should be looking over his shoulders every now and then as Chris Bey is waiting in the wings for his World Title opportunity. With this new multi year deal, you can expect Chris Bey to get his shot at the World Title in due time.
