Jeremy Borash has had an interesting career, it’s safe to say.  From becoming a hit radio host in his teens to working for World Championship Wrestling during it’s darkest days, and now being one of the public faces of the group’s spiritual successor, TNA.

With Impact now airing on Freeview via Challenge TV – making it the most watched pro-wrestling group in the UK by some confortable margin – he’s also no stranger to these shores, regularly hosting fan parties this side of the Atlantic to engage with TNA’s vocal British support.

Last night The Thumbcast’s Iain had the chance to sit down in a noisy Glasgow nightclub (where else) and chat to the long-time announcer and presenter about his career with both companies – taking in his period working for free during TNA’s troubled early days, the end of WCW, controversial booker Vince Russo, whether the company could sustain a UK-only touring group… and why the main event of Bound for Glory has a special significance for him.
