‘Speedball’ Mike Bailey Signs Contract With IMPACT Wrestling

By Colin Tessier

IMPACT Wrestling has signed “Speedball” Mike Bailey.

At a Destiny Wrestling show on October 31, IMPACT Executive Vice President Scott D’Amore offered Bailey a contract, and he signed it. Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful shared the news in a tweet; in a separate tweet, Ross Sapp posted a picture of Bailey signing the contract on Josh Alexander’s back.

Alexander responded with a tweet in which he wrote the signing will be a “steal” that people will be talking about five years from now. He also called Bailey a “killer.”

Bailey is a renowned competitor in the Canadian wrestling scene; he was reportedly in talks with WWE earlier this year after his US travel ban was lifted in March. WWE had been trying to resolve Bailey’s visa issues, and these talks eventually stalled. Bailey’s ban lasted five years after he was prevented from illegally entering the United States on his way to compete at an EVOLVE show. Bailey has risen to stardom in Canada and in other promotions throughout the world, such as wXw, PROGRESS and Revolution Pro.

Bauiley also tweeted about the signing; he thanked everyone for their support and promised to keep doing his best.

WrestleZone will provide more details as they become available.
