Suge D: America Is About To Get Familiar With Leon Slater, He’s Kept The U.K. Indie Scene Afloat

Suge D has high praise for Leon Slater.

Leon Slater has been a hot topic of discussion in the world of wrestling as of late, as the young star recently signed a deal with IMPACT Wrestling/TNA. Slater made a name for himself on the independent scene in the United Kingdom, competing for promotions like PROGRESS and RevPro.

In a new interview with Fightful Overbooked’s Indied podcast, Suge D said that America will get familiar with Slater very soon. Suge also gave props to Slater for being one of the stars that has helped elevate the independent scene in Europe.

“America is about to get familiar with somebody real soon, Leon Slater. Congratulations to him, real talk. I met Leon at a NORTH show in Newcastle and when I tell you he’s one of the most respectful kids, he’ll always ask questions. The thing is, when I was over there, it was booming. A small weekend was three shows and I could get up to as much as 5 or 6 shows a weekend sometimes. I was making enough money where I was paying all my bills back home and still taking care of stuff over there, had enough money to go crazy and ball out a little bit. I miss that time, I really miss the people and the culture and stuff was booming, and then speaking out, the pandemic, other things happened and it’s a broken scene over there right now. So, I’m really proud for these young kids that are stepping up and they’re like, we don’t care if the scene isn’t what it was, we don’t care if the money ain’t what it was, we got to keep this thing pushing. Leon was a part of that, Warren Banks was a part of that.”
