Various News: Mario Bokara Comments on Impact Appearance, Titus O’Neil Named Lightning Community Hero

– Mario Bokara spoke with Prvi.tv about his getting the call to appear at last week’s Impact Wrestling tapings. Bokara told the site, “I got a phone call on February 22nd from Impact Wrestling about an opportunity to work and be in Orlando, Florida a week later, from March 2nd to the 5th. It was a chance to be seen and perform on a national and global scale and I was not going to let that opportunity pass me by. It was an opportunity for everything I have ever worked for throughout my whole life.”

He continued, “It’s a phone call that you are waiting for a long time, and sometimes you never receive it. It was a chance for all the hard work to pay off. It was pretty much like an interview for a job to sign a contract with a main stream major wrestling promotion in the United States, to be seen on national tv. A chance to make my family proud, my wrestling promotion, and to represent Croatia in the professional wrestling world.”
