Charlie Haas is hoping for a big 2022.
Haas has re-remerged on the wrestling scene, making appearances at SWE in 2021 before coming to IMPACT Wrestling for a match with Josh Alexander.
Haas suffered a concussion in the bout, which airs on January 20, but is doing fine and is thankful for the IMPACT staff.
"I'm feeling fine. I want to thank IMPACT, they are very professional. First, Josh Alexander for being a great pro in the ring. I'm just happy I was able to finish that match. He's the ultimate pro and he is the pinnacle. IMPACT itself, the personnel from Scott D'Amore, Tommy Dreamer, D'Lo Brown, Gail Kim, all the way down. The utmost respect. I'm feeling great and feeling fine. I'm back on track," said Haas in an interview with Mat Men Wrestling.
On Wednesday, Haas posted a message on social media announcing the Haas of Pain tour, saying he is accepting bookings and wants to wrestle everywhere in 2022.
Haas elaborated on his future plans by saying, "My plan is to get back out there. I would love to work with IMPACT, AEW, any promotion that would have me work with them, not only as a wrestler, but to help teach. The knowledge that I have I can pass on. I can work with these people in the ring, teach them what I learned, how to slow down, how to tell a story. I would like to keep wrestling for another year or two and at the same time work as a coach or a producer to going and working in talent relations and being in the ring like Arn (Anderson) does, Fit Finlay does, working with these individuals and tag teams to teach them what's missing."
