ODB Interview: Returning To IMPACT, Knockouts Division, Food Truck, AEW, More
The OG Knockout recalls hugging Hulk Hogan in her undergarments among other fun, inspiring stories.
When you think of the early days of IMPACT's Knockouts division, it's impossible for ODB's name to not come to mind.
ODB arrived in IMPACT in late 2017 and quickly became a huge hit with fans. Her organic connection with the audience led her to not only four reigns as Impact Knockouts champion but also a lengthy, successful stint with the promotion that is ongoing to this day.
Her latest return to IMPACT saw her immediately set her sights on Deonna Purrazzo, who has had a stranglehold on the Impact Knockouts Championship and the rest of the Knockouts division for many months. Taking exception to her actions, the OG Knockout challenged the champ to a title match at this Saturday's Sacrifice event streaming on Impact Plus.
If she is able to emerge victorious, ODB will have gotten her first taste of gold in nearly eight years. Even without an audience in attendance, she never ceases to bring the fun to her matches and entertain the masses with her eccentric antics.
Ahead of her huge upcoming opportunity this week, ODB took the time to talk to WhatCulture about her recent return to IMPACT, how her food truck business has taken off, her thoughts on the current state of the Knockouts division, matches she still wants to have (including in AEW), her favorite matches and memories, and more.
