You can check out some highlights from the interview below:
On how the audience responded to a technical match at the show: “That line was after I lost to SANADA, and I remember the crowd being loud for it- and me losing, so I think that was a sore loser and shit talker there (laughs). But I was curious to see how the crowd would have reacted. I like a hostile crowd, and if they didn’t like what I was doing that would just make me double down, but it was satisfying to have an American crowd react that much to Bryan wrestling a British guy and it predominantly being two guys exchanging holds.”
On what his defeat at WrestleDream 2023 meant in his mind: “Results are everything though. I can acknowledging Bryan Danielson somewhat graciously, but I’m still furious that our bout in Seattle did nothing to settle the matter of who is the best technical wrestler in the world is. Only that he’s a scoundrel that resorted to a strike because he knew he couldn’t match the tekkers. So there’s no doubt we have to run it back when the time is right.”
