Earlier this year in April The IInsperation (formerly the IIconics in WWE) were released from their WWE contracts after six years with the company. The two have recently inked a deal with Impact wrestling after dealing with visa and immigration issues.
At Bound For Glory in their very first match for the company, the two secured the IMPACT Wrestling Knockouts Tag Team Championships after defeating Rosemary and Jessica havoc and have since secured their spot amongst the rest of the Knockouts Division and have staked their claim in the tag team division.
while recently Speaking on the Wrestling Daily podcast with Alex McCarthy, The former IIconics explain why they feel at home in IMPACT Wrestling and what they hope to accomplish during their time with the company.
Cassie began, “I feel like it was a perfect fit for us or not to toot our own horn but we’ve had many options and what it came down to Jess and I just felt like we just fit perfectly with IMPACT in the knockouts division they just use their talents so incredibly well and the women are just you know put on a pedestal which they should be they’re so good and I just feel like we slipped right on in you know became not hesitating champs did the damn thing and you know, [we fit in IMPACT] like a missing puzzle piece.”
Jess added, “We found a home because that’s how it really felt. We wanted it to feel like the best decision and it really did, it fits so well. We were so happy. We’re just incredibly grateful to be part of IMPACT and The Knockouts Division I’m super stoked. That’s all I have to say.”
Jess later went on to emphasize the great communication in IMPACT, saying it’s a huge positive for them.
“Cass and I are big on one thing and we like to call it ‘Big C’ and that stands for communication. So when we were talking to Scott, we, first of all, complete gentleman, complete gentlemen. But the one thing we appreciated was the communication. We had everything that we needed, we had all the information that we needed, we knew that this was going to be incredible. We were excited to join IMPACT. But that’s something that we don’t take for granted because we understand how people’s time is very limited. So when people take the time to talk to us, we appreciate that. So it’s been great. He’s been incredible.
“The freedom that we’ve had is, I mean, it just makes me so freakin’ happy. Because we know The IInspiration better than anyone we have built this from the ground up is a 17-year-old friendship, you cannot force anything on that and they respect that and they respect us as performance. It’s just beautiful and that was a big decision in us joining IMPACT. We felt that respect and we felt wanted, to be honest, and that’s it. That’s an awesome feeling to have.”
Cass followed up, “These are women we have looked up to for so many years as well and just see how much emphasis that IMPACT puts on the women’s division, that meant a lot to us, especially the tag team division because that’s where our heart and soul is. So yes it makes me proud to be a part of a company that has women in such powerful positions.”
Now that the IInsperation have found a home with Impact and have already made their mark on the division we will have to see what is next for the team and maybe we will even get a singles run from each of them. Only time will tell but now that the IInsperation are getting the time they deserve the sky is the limit for them both.
