Crazzy Steve Is Opened To Being X-Division Champion, But Would Rather Be In Consistent Storylines

Crazzy Steve isn’t specifically looking to win the X-Division Championship, but he’d be opened to it.

Crazzy Steve was a mainstay in IMPACT Wrestling from 2014-2017 before leaving the company. He then returned in 2020 and has been running wild ever since. He is a former tag team champion, but has never won singles gold in IMPACT Wrestling. Speaking with Bill Pritchard of WrestleZone, Steve was asked if he’d like to focus on the X-Division, but he said that while some fans may want him to chase the gold, winning the championship isn’t a goal of his. Instead, he’d be just as happy to have a consistent storyline. He also stated that, if the opportunity to win the the title came along, he would certainly take it with the best intentions.

I will say there is a core group of the fan base that definitely wants me in that X-Division hunt or to see me with the X-Division Title. It’s never really been a goal of mine. I guess you can prejudge that based off my size, that that would be a thing, but it really isn’t. If the opportunity was to come my way, I would take it with the best intentions in mind, but that is not something that motivates me as far as a wrestler is concerned. I would be just as happy, if not more happy, with just a storyline that carries on from week to week to week, that builds from pay-per-view to pay-per-view with a single character. That would do something for me. The idea of me having the X-Division Title, I think, is intriguing. I don’t know where I would do with it, but I would be excited to have that opportunity just as much as anything else, I suppose,

Steve continued by saying if he did win the title, it would be different from everyone else’s reign, feeling as if Chris Bey, Ace Austin, Trey Miguel, and Laredo Kid can do the more athletic style better than him and he’d like to make a title reign it’s own thing.

I also think, if I was to hold the X-Division Title, it would be different in the sense of, when you think of the X-Division Title matches in 2022, there’s a certain [level] of athleticism that the audience has a preconceived notion is already be involved, with your Mike Baileys, your Ace Austins, your Chris Beys, Laredo Kid, Trey Miguel, all these guys. These guys are all far more athletic than I am for various reasons. They’re younger, they have 20/20 vision. So I think if I was to hold it, it would be a different style or pace. I’m not saying I’m not athletic. Obviously my work speaks for itself. But there’s a reason why I don’t do a lot of things that those guys do because they do it better, and there’s no way I can compete with that style. Again, that’s not to say that I wouldn’t take the opportunity and make it my own thing, and it could be just as successful as any other X-Division Champion, but those are my initial thoughts going into a scenario like that,

Crazzy Steve finished up by saying that the X-Division style isn’t his bread and butter and would rather lean into a more story based side of wrestling.

There is a preconceived notion when it comes to these X-Division matches, and rightfully so. We’ve been giving it to the audience for years, but I have never really put myself in that category because to me, those guys [have] a lot more athleticism and stuff that goes into that match, whereas I’m more of a story-based performer. At least, that’s my bread and butter. I can do that style, it’s not my favorite style,
