Scott D’Amore, the president of IMPACT Wrestling, has recently hinted at some exciting news for fans of the promotion in Europe. During a recent appearance on Press Pass, D’Amore discussed the possibility of bringing a Slammiversary event overseas and shared his own experiences with the U.K. wrestling scene.
D’Amore reminisced about his time in Europe during the mid-90s, particularly in countries like England, Ireland, and Wales. He acknowledged that the wrestling scene in the U.K. was somewhat depressed back then, with the exception of occasional WWE tours. However, D’Amore noted the significant growth in the market over the years.
The president also mentioned how the opening of NXT UK had initially caused a dip in the U.K. wrestling scene, as many talents were signed by the brand. However, this created an opportunity for other wrestlers to step up and showcase their skills. D’Amore commended the U.K. wrestling fans for their passion and support, describing them as loud and vibrant, comparable to the energy of a soccer game.
D’Amore concluded his remarks by teasing some exciting news for the European market from IMPACT Wrestling in the near future. He expressed his belief that U.K. and European fans have become more educated about the wrestling industry and praised the scenes in countries like Switzerland and Germany.
In other Slammiversary news, it was revealed during the Press Pass that the pay-per-view event will be headlined by a match for the Knockouts Championship. Deonna Purrazzo will defend her title against Trinity. This highly anticipated match is sure to captivate fans and deliver an unforgettable showdown.
