Big Damo's SAnitY partner, Eric Young, is currently a part of IMPACT Wrestling. Speaking to Sportskeeda Wrestling, he praised Eric Young quite generously, not just as a wrestler but as a person as well. He claimed he loved and adored Young and alluded to their in-ring chemistry which saw them produce a great match for IMPACT Wrestling in 2015.

"I mean Eric Young, I don't think I have enough time to tell how much I love Eric Young as a person, as a wrestler, as a performer. When I watched him I used to think he was incredible. He's so varied he can do any role you put him in. Then I got to wrestle him in IMPACT Wrestling in 2015 or 2016, and we packed as much as we could in such a short time. I just jammed with the guy right there and then. And then, a year later, I was in SAnitY with him," said Big Damo. (H/T: Sportskeeda)

Big Damo went on to mention his desire to work with Rich Swann and shared a few stories about Eric Young. He does sound eager to reunite with Young and a stint at IMPACT Wrestling could be in line for the talented big man. You can check out the whole interview below.
