Wheeler Yuta recently discussed how big of a transition it was when he joined the Blackpool Combat Club alongside Bryan Danielson, Jon Moxley, and William Regal. He talked about it while doing a virtual signing for K & S WrestleFest.
“It was definitely very different,” he said. “Part of it is like Chuck Taylor and Orange Cassidy, they are my friends in real life. I’ve known those dudes for years. Early on, it kinda felt like I’m in this big position, it’s still a huge position but it’s with my friends, I’m in my comfort zone. But when this started happening, it was like, alright, this is a step up, this is something completely different than what I’ve been doing. Now I have to earn these guys respect as well, the same that I did with my friends before. It was definitely a big step up, it was like a leg switch. But, now we’re rocking and rolling.”
A fan also asked him what he thought of Cesaro possibly joining AEW and Yuta is a big fan of that happening.
“Cesaro’s awesome. I would support him in any role anywhere I can see him wrestle. He’s incredible. But I think he would fit in very well with us, he’s got history with [William] Regal as well.”
