9. Finally Wrestling On National TV After 20 Years
Fast forward three years, Ring of Honor now airs on a national television platform with Destination America while maintaining its syndication with Sinclair Broadcasting. How does it feel now that youve finally wrestled in a feature match where the focus and the shine is on you instead of augmenting someone elses role? BBE: Its pretty cool. Its great. I know a lot of people in my area who saw it. Its been very exciting to see not only myself, but to see Michael Bennett and Matt Taven on, who are two guys I trained. I pretty much trained Mikey from scratch and had a lot of input in the early stages of Matts career, and now they are the IWGP Tag Team Champions. It was definitely a nice little moment to share. It was a really fun experience because we got (Evans vs. Cheeseburger) the second biggest reaction of the night up in Toronto. I mean, youre not going to get a bigger reaction than AJ Styles and The Young Bucks.
