In an interview with The Huffington Post, Drew Galloway promoted his title match with EC3 this Sunday at Bound for Glory. Here are highlights:
On his initial WWE run, and being prepared for success with TNA: “At that time, I wasn’t ready. In-ring wise, I was, but mentally I wasn’t. Now I’m ready in every possible way. I just turned 30, but I feel like I’ve been doing this forever.”
On being dubbed “The Chosen One” by Vince McMahon: “That is something Vince will never do again, and it’s something that will live in history forever — that I was ‘The Chosen One. It’s still cool to look back and know I’ve done that.”
On his BFG opponent, TNA World Heavyweight Champion Ethan Carter III: “EC3 is somebody that not only have [TNA officials] done right with, he has done right. They’ve presented him with opportunities, and he knocks it out every time. He’s so, so good.”
On why EC3 is a good adversary for him: “We both want to work with each other; we talk about it all the time. The fans talk about it to both of us on social media all the time. As far as I’m concerned, that’s an angle promo-wise and in-ring wise which will get more attention on TNA. We both love wrestling. We’re passionate about what we do. We’re perfect fodder for each other and giving 100% to make it work.”
