10 Questions With ROH’s Brutal Bob Evans

7. Micheal Bennett's Success

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HivnHfMZRVc Give us your thoughts on the success of Michael Bennett, the man who you trained and is currently one half of the IWGP Tag Team Champions for New Japan Pro Wrestling. BBE: Sure! They don€™t call them (Bennett and Taven) the #internetdarlings for nothing. It€™s obviously an ironic, sarcastic nomenclature because those guys were always the internet darlings, but I told everybody to give it time because when words gets out about how good Bennett is, it will slowly seep into the wrestling fans. It must be satisfying to see it all unfold after years of hearing people criticize Bennett to the point where they said he can€™t even wrestle. BBE: I think the fans and Mike have come to an agreement. He not always be their cup of tea, but that€™s not going to stop him from being who he is and winning the IWGP titles have given him and Taven more credibility. I want to give a shout out to Brick House Baker who Mike started out and learned some basics with until he came over to me. But yes, I€™m extremely proud of him!
