Scott D’Amore Weighs In On Impact Signing Leon Slater, Harley Hudson

Impact Wrestling (soon to be TNA) has two new future stars in Leon Slater and Harley Hudson, and Scott D’Amore has discussed the new signings. As reported, Slater signed a long-term deal with Impact over the weekend and Hudson won the Gut Check Challenge on the UK tour to earn a developmental deal. D’Amore appeared on the WrestleSlam Podcast and talked about the two signees; you can check out the highlights below (per Fightful):

On signing Hudson: “Gut Check was an amazing experience seeing talent from all over Europe come together and, and seeing how vibrant the scene is. It’s fantastic. Having Harley there and the opportunity presented to her, I think there was at least 20-to-30 people that were in the running that we could have looked at. She just — when you looked at everything; looks, presentation, passion, athletic ability, wrestling ability, and potential. I think it was all there. So, I look forward to having her come to Canada. She’s got a scholarship to the Can-Am Dojo where she can get to train with Josh Alexander, Chris Sabin, Alex Shelley, and myself among others. I think she’s gonna do great at that. With that in mind, I think there’s probably a time in the not-too-distant future where you see her join Leon Slater on the TNA wrestling roster.”

On Slater: “Leon’s as good a prospect as I’ve ever seen. It’s hard to believe he’s only 19 years old. He’s mature beyond his years. He’s got all the athletic ability under the sun and is a wonderful young man, great attitude on him, and we look forward to him being part of TNA wrestling starting in 2024. I’d say the sky’s the limit for him.”
