Much like Madison Rayne and Taeler Hendrix before him, Joey Ryan appears to be leaving iMPACT Wrestling with a level of gratitude and professionalism that is exceedingly rare in some corners of the older generations of professional wrestling. With his positive and gracious attitude, here’s hoping that Ryan lands on his feet somewhere in the wrestling business. We wish him well!
