Eddie Edwards is reflecting on some of his best matches during his tenure in IMPACT Wrestling.
Eddie Edwards has been one of the faces of IMPACT for several years now. During his time with the promotion, he has held many championships and wrestled legends like Bobby Lashley, Matt Hardy, Jeff Hardy, and more. Edwards is also a significant part of the promotion today and wrestles modern stars like Josh Alexander, Jonathan Gresham, and more.
In a new interview with PWMania, Josh Alexander named several of his favorite matches during his time with IMPACT. Two of those matches include his world title victories. He also calls his most recent Championship opportunity against Josh Alexander at IMPACT Bound For Glory 2022 one of his favorites.
"You know, I can go pretty recently against Josh Alexander at Bound For Glory," he said. "Although I lost, I felt it was a match that represented myself and IMPACT in the way myself and Josh would like it to represent. It was hard-hitting, leaving everything out there, and though I lost, I would do battle with Josh each and every day if I could.
"Of course, winning the World Title for the first time from Bobby Lashley was an amazing, surreal moment," he continued. "There are a lot of ups and downs in life, and especially, professional wrestling, where I never thought I’d get a shot or be in that position, but to be able to do it against someone like Bobby Lashley was very special and something I hold very close to my heart."
Regarding his victory at IMPACT Slammiversary 2020, Eddie Edwards says it was very special for him to become the top champion of the promotion in the thick of the pandemic.
"To become the World Champion again at the weirdest of times during the pandemic, winning at Slammiversary against top talent such as Rich Swann, Eric Young, Ace Austin was something very special. People believed in what I was doing, they had confidence in me being the World Champion at the toughest of times, and that means a whole lot to me," said Edwards.
Regarding any future World Championship runs for him, Edwards said elsewhere in this interview that he believes 2023 is the year he becomes World Champion again. Fans can read more here.
