Eric Young speaks on his favorite match since returning to TNA.

In 2023, Eric Young returned to TNA after leaving WWE. Young made his return to the promotion at Slammiversary in July to team with Scott D’Amore. Since then, Young has continued to be a familiar face on TNA programming.

In a new interview with WrestleZone’s Bill Pritchard, Eric Young was asked what his favorite match has been since returning to TNA, with Young choosing his match with Moose for the TNA World Title at TNA Sacrifice earlier this year.

“Yeah, I think for me, one of my really special ones is me and Moose in Canada. It’s about 15 minutes from where I grew up. So I had a lot of friends and family there for the world title, obviously coming up short, but sharing the ring with a guy like him. I mean, he’s, I said in promos leading up to it, I think when it’s all said and done, he’s going to be one of the best to ever do it. A bit of a smart when it comes to it and just understands it on a level and is obviously physically imposing and like one of the best athletes to ever do this. That’s a long list. You know, it’s a really long list. That’s probably my favorite one since coming back. Wwhat I’m doing right now, this kind of team up thing with, with Maclin obviously, you know, our last match on the lead up to the pay-per-view, for Emergence and, we wrestled Hammerstone and Jake and coming up short again, but there’s something really special happening with me and him and also happening with Jake and Hammerstone. So the tag division is really strong right now. Having the Hardy’s, they’re kind of leading the charge, has energized it. That whole thing energized TNA in general. But yeah, there’s something really special. I’ve been friends with Steve Macklin for going on. I mean, I guess that we first met in 2016 when I started NXT and we’ve been pretty close friends and talk all the time. So there’s something really special happening there and I can’t wait to see where it leads.”
