Matt Sydal Says More Independent Wrestlers Should Be Like The Young Bucks
WWE, ROH, and NJPW veteran, and Impact Wrestling star Matt Sydal recently spoke to Wrestling Epicenter's Interactive Wrestling Radio. You can see highlights below, and the full interview at this link.
The wrestling scene now with so many options for talent:
"I just want to thank the Young Bucks for all the houses. That was cool of them and all the guys from New Japan that popped this generation. I remember when I had just left WWE and I was wrestling in England and Germany, I could just tell that this influx of this new wave of wrestling was coming much like it felt when I began wrestling back in '99. What was coming out of England was original acts, people doing it on their own, people not looking for permission. The ECW mentality was reborn! Those guys generated new crowds that are generating a new era of wrestling where the underground is the overground. The Internet has given pure equality to everyone. THe cream rises to the top. It is the era of not take a job but create your own job. That carries over from wrestling to fans at home and whatever they want to do with their lives. Be more like the Young Bucks! The #1 thing they we did, when they told us not to try it at home, we did! When people told us "no", we knew that they were wrong and we were right. We should try it home, we do understand it. And, we indeed understand it mroe than anyone else. That way when we put on our performances, we connect deeper than anyone else has to this date. Wrestling continues to be an excitement generating monster. You go to a Ring of Honor show to watch the Young Bucks. You go to an Impact Wrestling show to watch Pentagon, Fenix, me (Matt Sydal), Brian Cage, John Morrison (Impact). You're never going to run out of incredible wrestling to watch! It is an era of abundance and we're all lucky to be a part of it!"
The future of Impact Wrestling:
"I think the most important thing is for everyone to open their third eye and see things from a higher perspective. Things are not going to be what is expected. The way things will be presented will be different than ever before. The opposite of everything you've ever seen can be expected because that is the way I will be producing. I will be the person to keep the spotlight on. Keep that fog machine on, for the love of God! Everybody's going to tune in to the song I"m singing. Everybody's going to move with the beat. The third eye is open. Everybody's going to get the transmission. I've always said "Wrestling is a chance to find the others". Lets just say Timotthy Leary said that first. Find the others, stick with them. We're all stronger together!"
