Bobby Fish’s Bound For Glory debut was recently touted by Impact Wrestling in a press release sent to local media in his hometown of Albany, New York.
As previously stated, Fish made a surprising appearance at Impact’s Victory Road event on September 23, just three weeks after his AEW contract expired. Fish entered the ring for a promo and expressed surprise at being a lightning rod of controversy lately. He claimed to be just a regular guy who did his job well, but after 20 years, he didn’t come to Impact for the BS. He also warned the locker room, but was cut off by Raj Singh and Mahabali Shera. Fish eventually took them both out to end the segment.
Fish has not signed with the company, but he is scheduled to work Bound For Glory in Albany and the TV tapings the next night, and it is “certainly possible” that he will work additional dates for the company.
Fish was recently announced for the 20-person Call Your Shot Gauntlet Match at the pay-per-view. The current Bound For Glory card can be found by clicking here.
Impact confirmed in a press release to local media that Fish will also be in action at the TV tapings held the night after Bound For Glory, as seen below. The full press release can be found below:
