Ace Austin on Reaching the Main Event Level, Why He’s Big on Presentation

– Sportskeeda and Darren Paltrowitz recently interviewed Impact Wrestling talent Ace Austin. Below are some highlights.

Ace Austin on his work ethic: “I didn’t work so hard from the time that I was so young to not be where I’m at right now. This was always the goal, and how fast I got here was nothing but a testament to my work ethic, my raw talent, the raw potential that I possess, so I can’t say that I’m surprised. This is where I’m supposed to be. That’s why I’ve been using the hashtag ‘#Inevitable’ a lot lately. I think I’d like to add that to my moniker, I am ‘The Inevitable’ Ace Austin.”

Ace Austin on his unique presentation: “I’ve always been big on presentation. It’s something that I was taught, and innately, it was something I kind of knew. I was big into musical theater when I was in high school and stage presence is something we talked about a lot. Being able to draw attention to you and be the most important person in the room. I knew that I had to do something with this staff to encompass that. Now, working as a young man on the independent level, when you’re working these shows in gyms and VFW halls, there’s not going to be pyro. There’s almost never gonna be smoke, nothing like that. So I decided to create my own sense of pyro. That’s where the staff comes in. It’s something that you can’t look away from, it’s something that no one’s ever seen before, and it was a combination of what I used to do for my entrance — the one-handed cartwheel thing — when I was in high school I used to do that one-handed cartwheel all the time when I was on stage or anything like that.”
