Zicky Dice On How His Deal With Impact Wrestling Came Together, Working With MLW

Zicky Dice was recently interviewed by Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful, and he discussed how his deal with Impact Wrestling came together, his experience working with MLW, and much more. Here are some highlights:

Zicky Dice on how his deal with Impact came together: “[The IMPACT Wrestling offer] came out of nowhere. Right before that, MLW had made an offer, like the week before. I was in this waiting period, just keep pushing and seeing what happened. It was the next week that I had gotten an email from Scott D’Amore. We sat and talked, then we met in person and talked in person. I felt that, where I was in my career, that was the right choice at the time. I’m very happy with the choice I made. With IMPACT, I can still show up at AAA, New Japan, I can go to NWA, AEW if I’d like. The door is open, if you will, and I’m looking to really turn things up a bit. If you’ve seen Zicky in the past, expect it when you least expect it, because it’s coming.”

On his experience working with MLW and participating in Battle Riot: “Their production is great and wrestling in that building alone, come on. I was very honored when they reached out to me to be part of it. I’ll be honest, I was a surprise entrant, I wasn’t announced, I didn’t know what the plan was. I think I was number 23. You hear the buzzer going off and the crowd is popping for some and you hear the buzzer go off and it’s quiet for others. I’m like, ‘Oh, shoot, I don’t know how they are going to react.’ They haven’t seen me for a bit, it’s been a minute, my contract with NWA expired. I showed up at Dark, but where had they seen me other than that? Buzzer went off, my music hit, WOOOOOOOO BABY! BRING IN A CLIP WHEN THE MUSIC HIS AND THAT BUILDING SAW OUTLANDISH ZICKY DICE WAS IN PHILADELPHIA FOR THE FIRST TIME! I FELT IT! I can still feel it right now.”

On his interest in WWE and AEW before signing with Impact: “They [MLW] also have a great team and boy, they can pack the house. The office is very easy to talk to and a great experience overall. It was a tough decision. When I was thinking, I was taking it to the wife, I’m bouncing things back and forth and thinking, ‘should I wait?’ back and forth emails with Regal for a little bit. I was sitting and waiting and was in this weird floating area and I was hoping I would hear back from AEW and I was in this weird zone. I had to let things play out the way they were supposed to. After some long hard thought, I said, ‘I’m gonna go to IMPACT.’”
