IMPACT Executive VP Scott D’Amore appeared on today’s edition of Busted Open Radio to discuss a wide range of topics, which included D’Amore’s thoughts on the Mercedes Moné and KAIRI IWGP Women’s Championship matchup from last weekend’s NJPW Battle in the Valley pay-per-view.
While talking about the match D’Amore had high praise for the two former WWE stars and believes that KAIRI still doesn’t get the respect she deserves. He also reflects on his first meeting with Moné later that night, as he was at the event doing commentary. Highlights from the interview can be found below.
On getting to meet Mercedes at Battle in the Valley:
Got to meet Mercedes, our paths had never crossed. Obviously, I’m a huge fan of her and everything she’s done. It was a great opportunity to meet her and chat with her after an unbelievable match with her and KAIRI.
Doesn’t think KAIRI gets the respect she deserves:
I don’t think KAIRI has ever gotten the love and respect she deserves. She’s outstanding. That elbow of hers is among the best in the business and maybe the coolest to watch. Her and Mercedes went out there in front of a packed crowd and put on a world title match that I thought was outstanding.
How passionate Mercedes is about wrestling:
The wrestling was amazing, the emotion was fantastic. Talking to her afterward, Mercedes is obviously a very focused and passionate professional. Her wrestling is top notch, her attitude seemed great.
