Eric Young is flesh and blood, but as a symbol can be everlasting.
Eric Young returned to IMPACT Wrestling at IMPACT Slammiversary after seemingly being killed by his Violent by Design stablemate, Deaner, who stabbed him in cold blood at the end of the December 1, 2022, IMPACT episode.
On August 3, unaired footage was shown of how exactly he survived. After Deaner left the scene, Eric Young spat up blood. He crawled his way to his motorcycle, where he proceeded to hop on, applying a helmet and goggles for maximum safety so as to avoid another brush with death and ride away.
All the while, a voice-over told the audience that Eric Young had lived a thousand lives in wrestling and plans on living a thousand more, and he now considers himself an unkillable idea that will live forever.
Fans can read his thoughts on leaving WWE for IMPACT, as was first reported by Fightful Select, at this link.
At IMPACT Slammiversary, Eric Young donned his Team Canada wrestling gear for one last time. Young has now said IMPACT will be auctioning off the year, with the proceeds benefiting Joe Doering. Learn more here.
