Dirty Dango Signed A One-Year Contract With IMPACT, Wants To Be A More Serious Wrestler
Dirty Dango made his return to IMPACT Wrestling at IMPACT Bound For Glory 2022 to challenge Brian Myers for the IMPACT Digital Media Championship.
It was reported by PWInsider on January 31 that Dango had signed with IMPACT Wrestling.
Speaking on Windy City Slam podcast with Mik Pankow, Dirty Dango confirmed he has signed a one-year deal with IMPACT Wrestling.
“Everything in life and professional wrestling is full circle. I started my career in IMPACT back in 2003 when they were filming at the Nashville Fairgrounds. I’ve always had a working relationship with them over the years. A lot of my friends wrestle there; Brian Myers, (Matt) Cardona, Tommy Dreamer. I was a free agent at the time, I got a phone call. Myers and myself are really close, we came up in developmental together. Albany is a great crowd. It was kind of a no-brainer,” said Dango.
Asked about his goals in IMPACT, Dango replied, “I’m a real big fan of Josh Alexander. Some of the X-Division guys, I’m a huge fan of their work, I just don’t know if I can keep up with them. Heath, Myers, guys like that. In the past, I was in more of a comedy shtick wrestling with them. Now, I’m working a little bit more of a serious style. My match with Myers in Albany, it felt good to get out there for 10-15 minutes and give a good wrestling match and not have to do a complete comedy act. I don’t have my eyes set on one person, just prove to management that I’m not a comedy act. When the bell rings, I can go.”
Dango portrayed a dancer and a detective during his time in WWE. Dirty Dango is set to compete in a No Surrender qualifying bout against Brian Myers on the February 9 episode of IMPACT.
