– We go around the ring with Gabby interviewing Joey Ryan. Ryan is happy to be back with Impact and feels it’s a great environment. He feels he disappoints fans when they meet him because the real him is really introverted. He grew up watching wrestling and was a big fan during the boom in the 90s, went to college and did backyard stuff and eventually went to wrestling school. He likes being his own boss so to speak and loves learning other aspects of the business and promoting. One thing people may not know is that he loves baseball, and loves the Angels and attends about 30 games a year.
