Impact’s Acey Romero Drops 100 Pounds With More Than Wrestling in Mind

Impact Wrestling’s Acey Romero was pushing 500 pounds when he decided he needed to change his lifestyle, for his own health as much as for his wrestling career.

Acey Romero made his Bound for Glory debut in October in memorable fashion.

Romero was surrounded by a talented assortment of wrestlers in Impact Wrestling’s X-Division title ladder match, including rising star Ace Austin. Looking to stand out, the 475-pound Romero, best known throughout his time on the indies for a willingness to put his body through torturous spots to light up the crowd, was on the receiving end of a table spot off the top of a ladder.
