Former WWE NXT Star and pro wrestling veteran Chris Hero recently appeared on the Grapsody podcast to speak about a variety of topics such as how him being a booker or a matchmaker for West Coast Pro was something that wasn't even supposed to happen, but he just kind of felt it.
Chris Hero said:
“That wasn’t even supposed to happen. I just kind of felt it. Scott and I had been talking, you know, leading up to the show. We had some ideas, and man, the first half of the show was going, I was feeling good and I went and talked to Scott and I was like, ‘Hey, I’m about to run up after the intermission. Should I let the ring announcer know?’ He’s like, ‘No, don’t.”
Chris Hero also spoke about how he is not yet retired from pro wrestling and how he's just biding his time and waiting for the right moment to come back.
Chris Hero said:
“If I was retired there would have been some kind of a celebration, a ceremony, a festival. A week long, month long thing. No, I’m not retired. I’m currently inactive. I just can’t stay away from wrestling in any way. So as I bide my time and wait for the right thing to come back for and start having matches again, I have kept pretty active. I’ve done a bunch of seminars, I’ve done signings, of course. Then I kind of dabbled into the world of producing. It’s funny, we use this term producing, but it’s kind of like directing. Directing is probably a better [term], but I’m not going to start calling myself a director.”
