CJ Perry recently appeared on the “Insight with Chris Van Vliet” podcast to discuss a variety of topics, including the difference in the presentation styles between WWE and AEW, and more.
You can check out some highlights from the interview below:
On her time in WWE: “I think in WWE, I often would — for better or for worse — do what I’m told. Sometimes people would want me a little bit more over-the-top, or a little bit more annoying, and … I feel like I did it very well.”
On the difference in presentation styles between WWE and AEW: “You go and you watch John Cena or The Rock or a lot of WWE-style promos, they are slower, especially live. And it’s because they’re trying to get the whole arena to get as loud as possible. … I personally feel that that style in WWE … is what is losing the younger demographic, and I think AEW has a faster-paced match style, [and] a faster-paced promo style. It’s very natural, it’s very organic.”
In other AEW news, Daniel Garcia recently took to “The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy” podcast to express his desire to see Adam Copeland & Christian Cage vs. The Hardy Boys take place in All Elite Wrestling.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On his dancing: “I would just do it [dance] when we would go out. I think we were in El Paso for the first time in like a big Latin community, I had a match with Ricky Starks, and was like, ‘You know what I’m going to get this crowd into it right now.’ I started busting out like a little dance, the crowd started like, coming up for it and I’m like, ‘Okay, that was cool.’ Maybe it’s something that I will throw in the heat, every once in a while, maybe it’s something I throw in as like a little taunt. Then, you know, by the time Forbidden Door this year in Toronto, it took on a life of its own.”
On wanting to see Copeland & Cage vs. The Hardys: “Edge was one of my favorite wrestlers growing up. I was always a huge fan of his. Obviously, they do everything to the best of their abilities, but I know they would do it justice … You would go into the match knowing how to make it the best version of what it can be in this year, which I think is amazing, perfect, and I think a lot of people could learn a lot from that.”
