Gia Miller interviewed Impact Wrestling Champion Josh Alexander about facing Tomohiro Ishii at Under Siege.  He said he once told her he was going to be the face of the company and now his bruised face is the face of Impact Wrestling.  If he wants to keep doing that, he has to face the best in the world.  He got Tomohiro Ishii's message last week and he wants the world to see that Ishii is a legend not just in Japan but around the entire world.  He will be watching Ishii's match tonight and after this weekend, the world will know that the man who holds the Impact title is the best wrestler on Earth.
