During his recent appearance on The Wrestling Perspective podcast, Young revealed that after a dark match at RAW early in his career, WWE Legend Shawn Michaels told him it was one of the best he had ever seen.

Eric Young further spoke about how words of encouragement from Michaels made him believe in himself and determined to never quit the wrestling business.

Eric Young would go on to join NXT later in his career, where he led Sanity and became an NXT Tag Team Champion on one occasion. However, his main roster run turned out to be lackluster, and he departed the company in April 2020.

Eric Young will be out of action for several months

Since his return to IMPACT Wrestling in July 2020, Eric Young has been in top form as he became the IMPACT World Champion in a matter of months after his arrival. Later, he formed his own stable, Violent By Design, which was on the cusp of success before injury struck Young.

His character work has also been particularly praised by fans, as they felt his mic work was not given importance during his run on WWE’s main roster.
