During a recent appearance on the “Tru Heel Heat” podcast, Chris Bey discussed teaming with his Bullet Club partner Ace Austin and winning tag team championship gold. Bey and Austin will defend the Impact World Tag Team Championships against the Motor City Machine Guns, Aussie Open, and TMDK at Impact x NJPW Multiverse United this Thursday.
“Man, it’s been great, you know,” Bey said. “Ace and I had a pretty good relationship before the tour and you know especially being teamed up, we’re both creative and we’re both professional so we wanted to make it work. But Japan really made us brothers, you know. Japan can turn people into the closest friends or it can split people, you know. Any time of tour can, you know, it can be stressful, but I think for me and Ace, we thrived through it and we became a better unit. And we were able to come back and take everything that we learned and apply it to our game right now and apply it to our craft right now.”
Bey continued, “It took us so far as to finally defeating the Motor City Machine Guns for the World Tag Team Championships, so like, it was a great experience. It’s been a great experience, it’s a great ride right now. I’m enjoying it, I know Ace is enjoying it. The ABC 2023 Title Tour is just beginning, these are only the second belts we picked up on the tour. So it’s only the third month out here, it’s just our third month out here.”
