Former ECW World Champion Rhino has signed a two-year contract with Impact Wrestling.

This is according to the man himself on a recent episode of Talk is Jericho, on which 'The Man-Beast' confirmed he'd inked the deal.

"I'm really excited about Impact," he said (h/t Fightful for the transcription). "I’ve signed for two-years there. They allow me to do Indies too because it’s important to find new talent. The cool thing about it is, you can find talent and there’s places for them to go. The worst thing is to find talent and have them go someplace and they’re not able to use that talent to better wrestling. Impact is a good area to hone their skills. That’s what’s exciting about wrestling. We have a lot of great things happening with wrestling right now."

Rhino isn't the only ECW legend to appear with Impact recently, with the likes of Rob Van Dam, Sabu, and Tommy Dreamer all slotting into roles.

A former WWE Hardcore Champion, Rhino challenged for Sami Callihan's Impact World Championship at December's collaborative event with Border City Wrestling, losing a 15-minute street fight. He had previously been feuding with Van Dam to close the year.
