On working Blood & Guts: “Yeah, it’s become quite a familiar landscape event, like marquee event in the AEW calendar. Blood and Guts, it’s once a year, it’s coming around, kind of understand and anticipate a little bit what you’re gonna get from it. For me, I’ve been wrestling for 20 years, and I’ve never even been in a steel cage match, so it’s been a double cage, and it’s like completely enclosed, and then like the rings are… dude, it is a completely different beast. Like, the nature of it is insane, and when you’re in there, it’s just like go, go, go, go, go.
“By the end of it, there’s 12 different bodies, and there’s explosions and thumbtacks and people are like shoving barbed wire chairs in your head, and it’s just, it’s just everybody in the ring wants to give their 100 percent and produce and show everybody why they’re the best wrestler, or why they’re the best, and they want to come into the pay-per-view with momentum.”
“Dude, there’s so many times in my AEW career where I’ve looked across the ring, and I’ve been like, ‘Whoa, this is completely surreal.’ This is not a situation that I ever thought was gonna happen in my entire life. There’s loads of those moments where I feel like I gotta stop and pinch myself, so, definitely one of those. And then the fireworks start happening, and you’re like, ‘Oh, okay, time to lock in, time to just get to work.’ So it’s a pretty cool, pretty fun little rush. It’s a good experience.”
On why he and Jake Doyle wore bibs and long long-sleeved outfits during the Blood & Guts match: “That’s just what we wear. That’s just what we wear usually. That’s what we show up to work in, so we just thought we’d just wear that for the match. No, I think we just knew we were gonna get nitty and gritty and get dirty, so we just wanted to wear the appropriate attire.”
On Blood & Guts making him and Doyle look strong going into their match against The Young Bucks at Full Gear, as well as Kyle Fletcher heading into his AEW World Championship match: “Oh, it was awesome, dude. It felt great. And then the most surreal moment from it was obviously standing inside of the ring looking up, seeing Darby [Allin] and Wardlow on the cage, and then I looked from the screen, so I watched like the view of Wardlow throwing him on the screen, and then I just saw Darby’s body fall in front of the screen through the tables. I was like, ‘Yeah,’ It was awesome. It was great.”
