10 Free Agents Impact Wrestling Should Really Sign
9. Brody King
Recently pinpointed for WWE or New Japan success by Dave Meltzer, 31-year-old Brody King is another wrestler set to occupy the void left by Vince McMahon's latest independent talent raids. He's currently breaking out in a major way, with promotions like AAW, MLW, and PWG handing him regular spots, though he barely has three years of experience under his belt.
King is already an outstanding performer. At an imposing 6'5", 285lbs, the first thing to catch the attention is this tattooed bruiser's appearance, and he lives up to it. The Santino Bros-trained scrapper is one of the independents' pre-eminent brawlers, but there's more to him than clubbering blows. Physics-defying topes and dives are a fixture of his arsenal, and barely a match passes without him flying out of the ring, prompting all in his landing zone to flee through fear of being flattened.
The North American talent pool is restocking, and King is one of its brightest prospects. Impact can't afford to sit on their hands while a larger promotion snaps him up. He's a perfect fit from both a stylistic and aesthetic standpoint, and they should reach out immediately.
