Matt Taven Recalls Bobby Fish Taking An Edible Before Having To Do A Run In At ROH Show

The eyes of the wrestling world were on San Antonio for the WWE Royal Rumble to close out January, but at an ROH event in 2015, Bobby Fish’s eyes were everywhere in San Antonio. 

Matt Taven recently appeared on Undisputed with Bobby Fish, and shared the story of what happened one night in San Antonio when Bobby Fish was just looking to have a little fun after his match. 

“San Antonio, it was like 2015, we were doing an angle where it looked like Cole was going to join with reDRagon and leave us and we were teasing that. Earlier that day, we had a wrestler’s court. Wrestler’s court is always good for the locker room morale, it gets everyone hyped. Everyone is full of piss and vinegar. This show is going off without a hitch, everyone is having a great time. Bobby and Kyle go out and have a great match. You came back, everyone is like, ‘what are we doing tonight?’ Someone had edibles. Bobby is like, ‘I’ll take one.’ You eat an edible. I kind of don’t think about it. I come back over to Bobby and was like, ‘Bobby, did you eat that edible?’ ‘Yeah, why?’ He’s getting dressed, about to leave, I go, ‘You have to come out for the main event. You have to come out and run me off.’ Bobby’s face, instantly, was like, ‘Oh, shit.’ He stopped getting dressed and there was this whole thing where we end up jumping Cole, it looks like he’s going to have Kyle’s back, no, Cole turns on Kyle, Kingdom jumps on Kyle, Bobby is supposed to come out, come running through the curtain, house of fire, jump on me, get me out of the ring,” Taven explained.

It did not go down like that. 

“We’re on Kyle and I’m looking at the curtain because no one is coming. All of a sudden, I see Bobby come through the curtain like he just stepped into the wrong room. Looking around on the ramp, looking at the lights, I look at (Mike) Bennett like, ‘Oh shit, stay here with Kyle.’ Bobby, finally, slowly walks to the ring as his tag team partner is getting beat up. It’s taking so long that I’m reaching toward Bobby to get him in the ring. Bobby gets in the ring, we’re playing patty cake a little, and I’m like, ‘Bobby, throw me out. Bobby, throw me out! Bobby, you have to get rid of me.’ Nothing is registering on his face to the point where, I just tackled you, we rolled through the ropes, and we lay on the outside to get us out of the situation,” recalled Taven.

Fish said, “I just wanted to be safe. I remember thinking, ‘I gotta get out of this. Somehow, I have to get to some place.'”

Taven concluded by saying, “I’ll never forget the look on your face when you came through the curtain. ‘What, how did I end up here?'”

Taven said he’s looked for video of Fish making his entrance, but in all the footage he’s seen, the camera doesn’t show him until he gets to the ring.
