Richard Holliday Says GCW Debut Was ‘Electric’, Comments On The Possibility Of Doing A Deathmatch

Richard Holliday reflects on his debut for GCW.

On July 8, 2023, Richard Holliday made his promotional debut for GCW at the company’s ‘Clean Up Man’. At the show, Holliday faced Blake Christian in a GCW World Championship match.

Although Holliday lost the bout against Christian, he is scheduled to return to the company at their ‘Crushed Up’ event on September 10, 2023.

In a new interview with Nick Hausman of Haus Of Wrestling, Holliday reflected on his recent debut for the company.

“Awesome. It was electric. GCW, some people do have that perception of [the company] being grizzled, deathmatch, hardcore, blood, guts, all of that. But I think that they recognize when a star is a star and the time was right to have me there and it was an electric environment. My first match was for the heavyweight championship, and what an environment it was and it was such a good showing, I’m back for GCW on September 10.”

Holliday was then asked if he’d ever participate in a deathmatch within the confines of GCW. 

“Let’s go with the word no. I would say no, I think that’s fair to say. I’ve been known to get blood on other people, ask my friend Hammerstone, which I have made up with by the way. Me and Hammerstone are cool again. I bloodied him up, so, you know? Let’s go with the very classic wrestling term of never say never.”

Elsewhere in the interview, Holliday talked about the speculation surrounding him and All Elite Wrestling. Fans can learn more by clicking here.
