Anthony Bowens recently spoke with Pink News for an in-depth interview about a number of pro wrestling topics.
During the discussion, The Acclaimed tag-team star spoke about Bryan Danielson requesting to work a match with him, being on the short list of wrestlers to work with Sting in AEW and more.
Featured below are some of the highlights from the interview.
On how it is mind-blowing that he was on the short-list of stars to wrestle Sting and Bryan Danielson thus far in AEW: “To be on the shortlist of people that both Sting and Bryan Danielson have wrestled so far in AEW, or even just in general, is mind-blowing. That match in particular (Danielson) was a turning point for me as a performer. I was always very confident in myself and my abilities but you don’t truly know until you get in the wring with someone who I consider to be one of the best wrestlers in the world right now, if not the best. It was such a big confidence boost to go out there and know that I not only hung with Danielson, but I beat his ass… and then he actually got me at the end, but that’s not the point of the story! (Laughs) Everyone cheats against The Acclaimed, it’s very unfair!”
On Bryan Danielson actually requesting to wrestle him: “I don’t know if I’m supposed to go into the insider stuff, but Bryan personally requested that match with me, which made me even more confident. And I stepped up and hit it out of the ballpark. It unlocked this side of me where I’m so confident out there now. I thought, ‘If this guy believes in me just like Tony does, I can literally do anything.’”
