The wrestling duo Private Party recently dethroned The Young Bucks to clinch the AEW World Tag Team Titles on the show Dynamite.
In a freshly aired episode of Chris Jericho’s podcast, “Talk is Jericho”, the pair reflected on the memorable moment of their championship win and shared the pivotal role played by the audience at AEW WrestleDream 2024.
Isiah Kassidy of Private Party shared, “The crowd made us have a rematch. I feel like if the crowd wasn’t there and they weren’t invested in us, we probably wouldn’t be tag team champions. That crowd made us that night.”
In response, Chris Jericho noted, “There were some other plans that were kind of in the wind, but that really stuck after that match.”
Marc Quen, the other half of Private Party, said, “We were promised stuff early and I was like, ‘I’ll believe it when I see it.’ I think it was the day of when it hit me. We came in, ‘Can you sign this, sign this. You got new t-shirts, but you can’t wear this until after the match.’ That’s when I was like, ‘Okay, it’s going down.’”
Kassidy further recounted, “We got told this the week after (WrestleDream) we were going to win the belts. I don’t believe it because anything can change. We had the six-man and then I cut a promo against the Bucks saying if we lose, we split up. I said, ‘I’m not going to believe it until I cut that promo and see the graphic.’ I cut the promo and was like, ‘We can’t go back now.’ I see the graphic, ‘If Private Party loses, they split up.’ Okay, now I believe it. That’s when I call my mom and said, ‘Hey, take off of work. I’m going to fly you guys out.’ I told her a lie. ‘This is going to be our last match.’ I didn’t tell her we were going to win the championships because I wanted her to be surprised. ‘This is our last match. I want you to be there to witness it because you witnessed all of our career.’”
