LAUREL VAN NESS CONTRACT UPDATE, ALBERTO TALKS GIVING UP THE TITLE AFTER PAIGE INCIDENT AND MORE IMPACT NEWS

Current Impact Wrestling Knockouts Champion Laurel Van Ness did an interview with the Orlando Sentinel  talking her favorite theme park rides, the journey to get into the wrestling business and the responsibility as champion.  In the article, Van Ness states that she is under contract with Impact until June.   Squared Circle Sirens originally reported that she asked for her release at the last tapings in Ottawa. From the sound of things that doesn't appear that request was granted.

Alberto El Patron also did an interview a few days ago with The Orlando Sentinel  where he suggests that he wanted to relinquish the Global title this past year, after being indefinitely suspended over a possible domestic abuse charge involving himself and WWE superstar Paige at the Orlando airport: “When there was a talent meeting about what to do about the title, I raised my hand and said I should give it up,” said El Patron, 40. “I used to work in a place where main eventers were difficult to work with, and I didn’t want to be that person. ‘Here’s the title; give it to someone else. I’ll eventually get it back, but I lost it and I want to earn it. I’ll take responsibility for my actions.’ ”

He talks about his appreciation of the Impact brand, wanting to be a wrestler,  his favorite moment of 2017, being a heel and more.
