At PROGRESS Wrestling: 100 Volts, Gene Munny finally
captured gold, becoming the new Atlas Champion. What began
with him crashing through a doghouse in 2019 has culminated
in a career-defining victory six years in the making. In an
exclusive interview with PWMania.com, Munny opened up about
his journey, pandemic struggles, emotional feuds, and why
this title run means everything to him. You can read the

Here are some highlights:
On finally winning championship gold:
“Until this moment, I’ve had nothing to show for my time in
the company. I’ve had some fantastic matches, but this is
the first time I can hold something tangible in my hands.”
On proving himself as champion:
“I like to make people laugh, but I don’t think people
understand how good I can be at this. This is an active
call-out to every tall boy, fat lad, big kid, and muscle
daddy. If you’re over the weight limit, come and try for my
championship — and I’ll help you count every light on the
ceiling of the Ballroom.”
On his upcoming defense vs. Will Cruse at Chapter 184:
“If he wants to apologize and admit he’s been a very silly
nephew, maybe I’ll take it easy on him. Otherwise, I’m going
into this match to give that ungrateful piece of trash the
comeuppance he deserves.”
Munny also discussed his pandemic reinvention, his feud with
Warren Banks, teaming with Session Moth Martina, and his
mission to make the Atlas Championship the centerpiece of
PROGRESS Wrestling. You can check out the complete interview
