The worst kind of wrestling fans will complain, but this is great. IMPACT needs big names if they wanna grow & one of the biggest positives of IMPACT is how they can restart careers, see: EC3, Lashley & Drew.
Trinity will do big things here & as a fan, I hope the best for her https://t.co/pC2uk2OMDi
