Impact Star Caleb Konley Reveals His Insane Methods To Watch The Show Growing Up
Impact Wrestling Superstar Caleb Konley was once interviewed by means of James Walsh on Interactive Wrestling Radio the place he printed quite a lot of insane strategies he used to observe the product when he went to college.
On being paired with Trevor Lee because the Cult of Lee:
“Well, Trevor is from about 2 hours away from where I live in Charlotte. I’ve known him since he was about 16 years old. We’re both from the same area, we’re both second generation guys. We’re both tired of the bullcrap that comes along on the indies and on Impact. Some guys want to go out there and be fancy and do all the flips and all the cool spots. We’re just going out there to bash heads and we’re going to talk crap to you while we do it!”
On converting his glance to suit the Cult of Lee character:
“It didn’t take much! Just stop shaving, basically! (laughs)”
On the Cult of Lee’s feud with LAX:
“Feud is a good way to put it! I like wrestling those guys. They bring out the best of me and Trevor. But, at the same time, we clash. We are oil and water. We don’t mix very well. They like to talk trash, we like to talk trash. They like to fight, we like to fight. Hopefully, it makes for great TV. It is just a stepping stone to what’s next for me and Trevor and that is for us to win the Tag Titles!”
On his first TV publicity with Paragon Pro Wrestling on POP TV:
“I really enjoyed Paragon. It got off to a very slow start. By the end of it, I felt they had really found a place for themselves. But, it just didn’t work out. For me personally, as far as finding a place for yourself and being a character on TV, Paragon really helped me out a lot. It got me ready for Impact. I didn’t have any weird transitions that some other guys have had from just coming from indy shows. Plus, the management there (at Paragon) of Matt Striker, D’Lo Brown, Sinn Bhodi, THe Grappler Len Denton. It was great learning from those guys. I really enjoyed Paragon and I wish it had stayed around a little longer. I feel like right when it was taken off the air, the ball was really starting to roll with them.”
On difficult for the World Tag Team Titles towards the New Champions:
“Oh yeah. Obviously, me and Trevor (Lee) both know Andrew Everett very well. We also know DJZ very well. DJZ was actually in the match that I was signed to Impact Wrestling for. I look forward to getting back in the ring with both of those guys and I look forward to beating the crap out of them and taking their titles.”
On the adjustments in control for Impact Wrestling over the time he’s been beneath contract there:
“We’ve obviously been in a weird transition period for a little while. That is no secret. It takes a little while but I feel like the ball, just like I was saying earlier with Paragon, the ball is starting to roll downhill. I don’t want to speak for anybody and I don’t mean this super negatively towards anybody that was in past management (laughs), I always feel the wrestlers want to go out there and kill it. But, some of the management guys were kind of slacking off. I wasn’t really there for it so I don’t know too well but I think they were just trying to get a payday. As of now, the guys in charge like Don Callis, Sonjay (Dutt), Scott D’Amore, and everyone that is involved in management at Impact Wrestling, they really want to see everything work! They’re really putting their heart and souls into the product and I think that translates to the wrestlers. I think that translates to the TV and the fans notice that and appreciate it.”
On the June 1st and second Tapings in Windsor, Ontario, Canada:
“Definitely looking forward to Windsor! Everyone, get your VIP passes at ShopIMPACT.com!”
On Impact doing go promotion displays like they did with Lucha Underground at WrestleCon:
“I think it is great. We live in a time where so much wrestling is seen online. There are all these people who fantasy book these cross promotion shows… You can’t really act like other promotions don’t exist like has happened in the past hundred years of wrestling. You really have to be open and say, “This is Impact but also, Lucha Underground exists and everything else in the world exists.” It is sweet to get out and strive against guys I almost definitely would no longer ever get an opportunity to strive against with if this was once a unique time. I feel 2018 is an excessively bizarre and other time in wrestling and I feel it’s going to simplest get well from right here.”
On promotions he’d additionally like to look Impact paintings with instead of Lucha Underground:
“Well, we’ve done stuff with WrestlePro, Big Time Wrestling out west, in July I believe we have one of the Twitch pay per views with my local company in North Carolina AML Wrestling, I enjoy the cross-over shows. It is a more intimate feel than the TV tapings. It is like going to a concert at a bar where you’re right there in front of the band instead of going to an arena show where you have nosebleed seats and you have to have binoculars to see the band.”
On what it manner to have a good time Slammiversary as a part of Impact Wrestling:
“It manner a ton. Back within the early days of the Wednesday pay in line with perspectives, me and a few friends would go away college early on Wednesdays, pressure to Nashville which was once a couple of four and a part hour pressure from the place I used to be residing in Georgia and move to these pay in line with perspectives for a number of months. As a top schooler understanding I sought after to damage into the industry, this is all the time considered one of my fondest reminiscences being proper there proper and the start of Impact. They weren’t essentially nationwide or world at the moment however you knew they have been onto one thing new and thrilling. Here I’m 15, 16 years later and I’m part of it. It is superior!”
