Impact Wrestling issued the following locally to the Albany, NY media. We were forwarded the release from an outlet that received the promotional push for Bobby Fish's in-ring Impact debut at Bound for Glory this Friday, which reads:
Bobby Fish, a 1994 graduate of Colonie Central High School, returns to Albany on Friday night, October 7 for the first of back-to-back IMPACT Wrestling shows held at the Albany Armory.
Fish will participate in the BOUND FOR GLORY extravaganza on Friday night, the showcase event of the year for IMPACT Wrestling, headlined by the main event of Josh Alexander defending the IMPACT World Championship against 2-time former World Champion Eddie Edwards.
Fish also will be in-action on Saturday night during the BFG Fallout Show.
Both shows start at 7:30 p.m. EST.
Fish was a 3-year varsity football player (linebacker) for the Raiders and a 2-year lacrosse player. He also was the MVP of the football team during his senior season and was football teammates with Mike Kwarta, owner of the Albany Empire, the back-to-back National Arena League (NAL) Champions.
IMPACT Wrestling and the Albany Empire are holding a fan-focused event Saturday night, October 8, before the wrestling starts at the Albany Armory. Fans can meet Brandon Sesay, the Empire captain, along with the Championship Trophy that the team won as the NAL Champions in 2021 and 2022. In addition, Empire mascots Jack and Mac will be at the IMPACT show.
Fans can get their photo taken ringside with Sesay, the NAL Championship Trophy and the mascots pre-show, from 6:30 – 7:30 p.m.
