Jeremy Borash: The Opportunities in India are Ridiculous

– Jeremy Borash recently spoke with Pratyay Ghosh of sportskeeda.com, here are the highlights…

His Opinion of India: Great. I love it here. Every time we come here we see different things. I got to see more of Mumbai this time than last time we were here. Last time we were based in Pune. It’s an amazing city and there are about 75 amazing cities I want to go see in India. So there’s a still a lot to do, a lot of traveling.

On The Crowds at The TV Tapings: It was so much fun. I want to put them in a bag and fly them all to Orlando with me. We can use them there because the excitement and enthusiasm they exuded was incredible. Well, I wouldn’t put them all in a bag because it would be a terrible way to travel. We’ll give everybody a business class ticket from Mumbai to Orlando to come to the Impact Zone because I love it, the enthusiasm of fans in India. Across my storied career in pro wrestling, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a crowd as responsive and excited as we had the last two nights. Hit me up in about a year and if I have enough money, I’ll fly everyone to the Impact Zone. That’s how much I loved everyone there.

On Impact’s Future in India: India is such an emerging market with different cultures and the more that you’re here, the more you realize that. The opportunities are just ridiculous here. An old codger myself, I’m a little bored with the American fans, to be honest. Well, not exactly bored, but it’s taken on a whole different kind of turn – the fan-wrestler relationship in the States and in a lot of places is different. Here, I think it’s just genuine enthusiasm and excitement. Most of all, the fans appreciate good drama and they like a good show. I think that’s what brought me to wrestling – the show, the spectacle, the lights and the glamour and everything that goes with it. I think that’s really appreciated here in the presentation of it all. Sometimes I think that part is lost in America.

On Slammiversary 2017: We have 4 weeks of television building up to it on Sony Six which is going to be incredible. We were talking about this last night, I don’t remember a PPV that had a build like this one on Impact so I think over the next several weeks getting to Slammiversary, you’re going to see some really good shows. I’m so excited over Lashley taking on Alberto El Patron. LAX will be involved in a big matchup that we will announce. Top to bottom it’s going to be a stellar card so I can’t wait for Slammiversary. I can’t wait for you to sing me happy 15th birthday Impact Wrestling because 15 is a big one. It’s a long time to be around and we’re happy to be here.
