Alec Price discusses WWE ID.
Since being introduced in 2024, the WWE ID program has done great things for the independent scene, highlighting performers like Marcus Mathers, Zayda Steel, Jack Summit, and Jackson Drake.
Along with the name recognition, the program has also shared a ton of exclusive digital content involving the wrestlers and the matches that they participate in.
Many fans have been calling for the program to recognize Alec Price. Price has been at the top of the independents for years now, even holding the IWTV World Championship back in 2023.
While chatting with Fightful for a new interview, Price was asked to talk about the program.
"I have no issue with it. If WWE wants to do that, they are the top dogs and I’m really happy for everyone that has gotten signed off it. Some of the people I know, these are all people that have worked their butts off. Without the ID program, it’s not that they wouldn’t have had a shot, it was a lot harder for them to have that shot and have the eyes of WWE on them. It’s the WWE. They are the top in the world. They are the tastemakers and have been the tastemakers. I honestly think it’s a great way for us on the indies, that may take a couple of years for us to get a tryout or four or five years to get an extra spot. It just quickens it. It’s not a bad thing that people are ID’d, I think it’s great for them. WWE is honestly helping us out and taking care of us. They aren’t taking care of me, but the people who got signed, they are taking care of people on the indies and making them stars. Think about the way they are building up these independent wrestlers, it’s going to help them not only be better wrestlers and superstars in the future, but build up the quality of the indies. If you have people producing this work, and it’s actually good work, why would people not follow suit?”
Elsewhere in the interview, Price reflected on both of his AEW Rampage appearances in 2024. Check out his full comments by clicking here.
