IMPACT Wrestling may be making a big reveal soon…
A few months ago, WWE released a number of talented men and women from their roster. Some of the names included Heath Slater, Rusev, Luke Gallows, Karl Anderson, and Hall of Famer Kurt Angle. Any longtime pro-wrestling fan will tell you, once a big talent leaves WWE, it’s not long until they find a new home elsewhere. History tells the story of Hulk Hogan jumping ship to WCW in June 1994, or the aforementioned appearing in TNA in December 2006.
