On the upcoming 1000th episode of Impact Wrestling, Dirty Dango will continue to despise pro wrestling.
The former Fandango will face Jake Something on the Impact 1000 specialt. This will be the first time the two have met.
Dango vs. Something was created after their issues on Impact continued. Something teamed up with IWGP World Heavyweight Champion SANADA and Frankie Kazarian to defeat Eddie Edwards, Moose, and Brian Myers in this week’s Impact main event, while Dango and Alpha Bravo were shown watching on a monitor backstage. Dango defeated Bhupinder Gujjar in singles action earlier this month, but not before telling everyone how much he despises pro wrestling on the mic. Bravo ended up assisting Dango in winning the match, but afterward, Dango took the mic and continued ripping pro wrestling until Something appeared to confront him. Dango was told to get out of the business if he didn’t like it, so he went to leave the ring while Bravo distracted Something. Dango then attempted a sneak attack on Something, but it backfired, and Something chased Dango away.
