During a chat on “Tru Heel Heat Wrestling” podcast, UK wrestling personality Leon Slater spoke about his journey in the UK wrestling scene and his experience being the UK’s representative in TNA Wrestling.
Here are a few notable points from the discussion:
Discussing his heritage from the UK, he said, “Being from the UK and trying to make a mark in America is not easy. Aside from inspiration, there are practical issues like visas, and flight costs which are substantially higher for us. The fact that I am amongst the fortunate ones who have managed to cross into TNA and America, is something I take immense pride in.”
Speaking about his role as a representative of UK, he commented, “It keeps me motivated, even on those days when I don’t feel like hitting the gym or designing new gear. I have to remember that I’m representing not just myself or my family, but my entire country. Right now, Joe (Hendry) is leading us in TNA, and one day I hope to be in his position with the championship belt on my shoulder.” [embedded link]
On a separate note, during a conversation on the “Q101” podcast, Rocky Romero teased some thrilling updates about a partnership between AEW, NJPW, and CMLL.
A few prime highlights from this chat are:
Discussing Tony Khan’s plans of conducting an AEW event in Mexico, Romero stated, “I believe there are some interesting things coming up very soon. I agree with Tony, it would be amazing for AEW to expand internationally. They had a successful Grand Slam in Australia, and the last two shows in London, All In, have been spectacular.”
Commenting on AEW’s current stage, he shared, “I believe AEW is trying to go international. I’d also like to see AEW head to Japan and host a proper Dynamite or Collision or a pay-per-view there. So, yeah, there’s some really exciting news that will be revealed pretty soon.” [embedded link]
