Brandon Cutler: You Have To Be Top Shelf, I Can Be A Top Shelf Comedy Guy

Brandon Cutler has found his role. 

Brandon Cutler has become a “stooge” for The Young Bucks (Matt Jackson & Nick Jackson) as he follows them around with cold spray and makes sure they are pampered and taken care of. Though Cutler has positioned himself as a manager, he has plenty of wrestling experience and hasn’t always dabbled into the comedy side of things. 

Speaking on Comedy Store Wrestling, Cutler was asked if he could change course and be a more serious competitor. 

“There is that part of me where I think I could do something with a dragon or something again, a serious wrestler type, or just something completely new that I haven’t even thought of. There is something I think to the comedic and the stooge at the moment because when I look at the roster of AEW, there are dozens of great wrestlers. How many people are the funny guy? You have Orange Cassidy [and Danhausen], and the list stops. If you think of great wrestlers, it’s stacked, especially in a company like this. You want to be a great high flier, you have Vikingo, Fenix, PAC, Komander. There are so many and they are top level. You can’t just be like, ‘I can do a good rana.’ No, the game has elevated. You can’t just be kind of good, you need to be top shelf of whatever you’re going for. Yeah, I’m a good wrestler, but am I the best of what class I’m doing? In comedy, I believe I am. I think I can be top shelf of one of the comedy guys. I’ll go for that. I don’t mind that,” he said.

Cutler was taken off television in April as part of the Blood & Guts feud.

Elsewhere during the interview, Cutler revealed that he pitched the idea to be beaten up to the point where he would not be on TV as the Blackpool Combat Club and The Elite geared up for Blood & Guts. You can find his full comments by clicking here.
