Last night on Impact Drew Galloway became the TNA World Heavyweight Champion for the first time. He defeated Matt Hardy after cashing in his Feast or Fired briefcase and the rest is history. But the history making moment almost didn’t happen for Drew Galloway.

Before arriving at the Impact Zone, Drew Galloway had to take a flight from Germany to Orlando and he apparently had one of the worst travel days ever. PWInsider noted that there was some concern about whether or not he was going to make it to the tapings in time, but obviously it worked out.
I didn't think I would make @IMPACTWRESTLING w/ flights from Germany. I'm now World Champion & WILL be first traveling champ since Ric Flair
