Matt Lancie Details Life On The Road For An Independent Wrestler, And Talks Not Having Enough Time To Be A Fan
"The Outlaw" is ready to take on New Orleans.
'Wildkat Sports'' Matt Lancie will be a part of the wrestling festivities in New Orleans as the 6'4 big man will be competing at WrestleCon tomorrow at the Sugar Mill. Prior to the show he spoke with Gambit and the two parties discussed all that had to do with wrestling in New Orleans this week/weekend.
Being an independent wrestler can be testing for as many of the top stars in the business can attest to. That is no different for Matt Lancie as he constantly finds himself on the road making his way across the country.
"I’m actually on the road right now. Me and a couple of guys are in a van on our way to Maryland for this show tonight at Maryland Championship Wrestling. That’s a good 17 hour drive from New Orleans. A few days ago it was Dallas. Guys like us, we’re on the road most likely over half the year, especially on weekends." Lancie stated.
Matt Lancie will be competing against Danny Flamingo at WrestleCon and along with that, he added that he would like to partake in other events during the weekend as well from a fan's perspective.
"Well, the last few years WildKat has been going around with WrestleCon, having a table out there WrestleMania weekend, doing a couple of shows and between behind the scenes work and working shows. I don't really have a chance to take a step back. Even as a fan you’re never going to get to see everything you know? I would love to go to WWE Axxess or the Hall of Fame, anything like that. I’ve never been, because I’ve always had shows. I’ve always been working. But WrestleMania coming to a town is one of the biggest things if you’re a pro wrestling promoter or worker. You have 100,000 plus coming in, and if you don’t take full advantage of it then you know you’re squandering that, you’re wasting the opportunity, and I want to make the most of it. We’re definitely ready here. I’m ready, it’s going to be a fun weekend."
Matt Lancie also discussed battling back from an ACL tear, revealed an experience that made him humble, and more. To take a look at Matt Lanice's full interview, click here.
