In an effort to promote the new short film Tito, Erick Redbeard reflected on Survivor Series 2014. Redbeard also discussed his brief partnership with Daniel Bryan, and more. Check out the highlights from Redbeard's Reddit AMA below.
On landing the role in Tito:
“I have a very talented friend in Anthony Notarile who co-wrote Tito with Andy Tworischuk with the role of Hammer in mind for me. He reached and after reading the script I was drawn to the character because it was something different than you’re used to seeing, which is the stereotypical angry 6’7, 300lbs giant. He is a very articulate, well-read man on socialism who treats people with respect but demands it as well. I was honored to play the role.”
On competing for Team Cena at WWE Survivor Series 2014:
“One commercial break before I was fully dressed. Michael Hayes ran out in a frenzy telling me to get dressed in my gear and I was needed for after commercial. No one on either team knew I was coming out. A good lesson for future wrestling stars: stay for the whole show.”
On his brief pairing with Daniel Bryan:
“I loved it because it led somewhere. To me feeling like a second wheel, which is funny because I’m twice the size of him but the story of feeling like a background character was one that was a blessing to tell. Plus we were the greatest tag team of all time #Fickle”
