B Cool speaks on his matchup against AEW’s top superstar, Jon Moxley.
The Irish-sensation spoke about his hardcore showdown at OTT with Mox during a recent interview with Fightful, where he admitted that wrestling the Death Rider was an absolute blast of an experience.
Well, I’ll tell you a small little story before that. Mox was meant to do ScrapperMania, wasn’t it? It was meant to be a Big Damo. I wasn’t wrestling at the time. I was asked to do something on the show. I think Joe wanted me to do a promo or host it or something. I didn’t want to do anything on it. I remember I was saying it to my partner. I said, ‘I actually would have loved to have done the show, but not to host it. I would have loved to have had a match on it.’ ‘Who would you want to have wrestled?’ I said, Moxley. So I was thinking, that’s who I would have wanted to wrestle. I think I only ever told Renzo that, that that’s who I wanted to wrestle. I always thought I could have had a really unique match with him. She was like ‘oh well why didn’t you pitch it?’ I said, ‘I’m not going to pitch that well i’m not going to pitch me and Jon Moxley.’ That’s so egotistical. It’s just something in my head I think would have been cool. You know what i mean? Then the match obviously came to fruition for me that I got to have it so it was a wild experience. I kind of regret bringing my mam. My mam came, my niece came my brother was there I think that was the first time he saw me wrestle and you know he got me into wrestling all those years ago so I think he might have been sitting in the crowd kind of regretting that but honestly, from the minute I came out to the minute I went to the back, I had an absolute blast. It mightn’t have looked like that. It was the experience. It was the experience. Everything about it, I know I… I don’t have the best memory, but I remember everything about that day. It was such a high-profile match, not just for me, but for OTT. I was representing OTT, how far we’ve come, from how many people at the Tivoli to National Stadium, Jon Moxley. He was wrestling in WrestleMania not too long ago. It was a big match, and I feel like we delivered, I think we went out and done a different match. I don’t think anyone else would have had that style of match, that kind of match with Jon Moxley.
Moxley picked up a victory over Dax Harwood last week on AEW Dynamite. He and Claudio Castagnoli will be taking on FTR on this Wednesday’s episode. You can check out B Cool’s full interview about Mox here.
