Morrison debuted in Impact Wrestling under the name ‘Johnny Impact‘ last year. The company features a six-sided ring, which the company has used for the majority of its existence. Morrison went into detail on his opinion of the ring.
“AAA uses the six-sided ring, Impact uses them as well. Minor differences, like the corners are a little more unstable. I don’t think there is a major difference to the people who are watching the show, but to me, the six-sided ring seems a little bit unnecessary.”
“Best way to explain it is that wrestling should be an escapism; you shouldn’t have to sit there and try to process a six-sided ring. You have to get lost inside the characters, and if they are not, then something isn’t working.”
Morrison also spoke about which promotion he personally feels has the coolest wrestling around right now.
“It is really the coolest wrestling that exists right now; perhaps number 2 behind WWE. I would love to go over there and wrestle more. They have a roster full of characters. After watching them, after not watching them for a while, I felt captivated by the cast of characters that really felt like they knew what they were doing. They have a specific style that made it feel interesting to me. Every once in awhile you hit fire; whether it’s the popularity of independent wrestling, or the sentiment that WWE has grown a little bit stale. It’s the perfect alternative to me.”
