PCO has his sights set on the gold.
Former ROH World Champion PCO joined IMPACT Wrestling in January 2022, and he was initially featured as a member of the Honor No More stable. In October 2023, PCO signed a new contract with the company that will reportedly keep him with IMPACT/TNA Wrestling until December 31, 2024, per Haus of Wrestling.
Speaking on Knockouts and 3 Counts, PCO was asked to name his goals in TNA in 2024. He made it clear that his main goal is to win the world championship. PCO also stated that he wants to improve his character.
“My main goal is always…when I first signed in 2019 with Ring of Honor, I believe it was 2019, my goal was to become the world champ. This is the same goal with TNA, to become the world heavyweight champion in the company, and also to keep improving the character in a way where there is no other option, you have to go to that route because people are wanting it. It’s there. That’s my main goal. Get more people on the bandwagon. There’s a lot of kids on it with their parents, which is kind of a double generation thing because either the parents explain to their kids, ‘Okay, I know this guy from before,’ but…I think that’s why kids like monsters and things like that. It feels like to them not a superhero because I’m their favorite wrestler, but they don’t want to come by for a picture because they’re afraid. But in the meantime, it’s a double-edged sword for the kids. But I see in their eyes when they get in close, they’re afraid, but in the meantime, they’re happy. I go through that a lot. Just growing this thing bigger and bigger and bigger, I think that’s the challenge," PCO said.
PCO was then asked about a potential match against the reigning IMPACT World Champion, Alex Shelley. He noted that it would be a clash of styles, and the veteran stated that this could make for a good match.
“I don’t know, it’s kind of a matchup [of] a pure wrestler with a monster, which is a different matchup. It’s always cool when it’s clashes of style. It’s not always good to have two monsters going at it or two of the same kind going at it. I think two good pure wrestlers always delivers a good match. But I think a clash of styles always can bring out a good match. So I think there’s ways to make it interesting," PCO said.
