Wheeler Yuta speaks on his rivalry with Daniel Garcia.
The AEW star and current ROH Pure Champion discussed this topic during an appearance on Renee Paquette’s The Sessions podcast, where he praised Garcia for being a perfect foil for him, then looks back on their extensive history together that dates back to the independent scene. Highlights from the interview can be found below.
Says he and Garcia are so similar:
Anytime I get to get in there with Garcia, I think that we’re very similar wrestlers. There’s two ways you can have a very good match, it’s either that you’re very similar or you’re so far different that it’s unique in that way. But I think that we are just so very similar.
How they are really good foils for one another:
The first time we wrestled, it was on the independents. I got there an hour before the show and then we wrestled for an hour. We’re just such good foils against one another that it’s really fun. At the same time, it’s fun to have to come up with creative stuff because it was the fourth time we wrestled so it’s like, how can we make it different? How can we have a slightly different match than we had before but still give the fans all of the things that they’ve wanted?
Getting to wrestle Garcia on AEW television and ROH pay-per-view:
Being able to have that match was really fun and it was awesome to do it on such a big stage. Being able to have these matches on Pay-Per-View or on Dynamite has been awesome. I think that he and I thought we’d be able to do it one day, but I don’t think we thought it would be so soon.
