AEW Star JD Drake spoke with Wrestling Observer's Josh Nason on a number of topics such as how he has been having the time of his life in the company, but he is never satisfied and if given the chance as well as the opportunity, he and Anthony Henry will become a household name because they're one of the best tag teams the pro wrestling industry has yet to see.
JD Drake said:
“I’m never satisfied, ever. I feel like myself and Anthony Henry are one of the best tag teams you still haven’t seen yet. You give us the opportunity, and we’ll become a household name. End of discussion, period. To say that I’m disappointed with my run would be the furthest thing from the truth. I am living a dream that I should have never had the opportunity to live, especially according to what others have told me in other companies in other places that I wasn’t fit to compete for them. Hold my beer and watch. It’s been the time of my life. Five-year-old me is literally excited that I get to wrestle on television and be known by fans all over the world and work with guys like Arn Anderson, Jake Roberts, Dustin Rhodes, Tony Schiavone, Jim Ross, Dean Malenko, Jerry Lynn. The list goes on and on.”
JD Drake also spoke about how he absolutely loves professional wrestling as well as how he cannot say anything but good things about his current run in AEW, though he hopes it gets better and before he's done with pro wrestling, the fans are going to see the real him.
JD Drake said:
“Guys I grew up watching as a kid are now my co-workers. How can I be upset about that? Would I have liked to have won more matches in my time? Well, of course, but I’m still able to step foot into a professional wrestling ring for a company that is the second largest company in America, will soon be the largest company in America, in my opinion, the best company in America, and do the thing I love the most, next to raising children and being a husband. I absolutely love professional wrestling. I love performing, I love teaching. I can’t say anything but good things about my run. Hopefully, it gets better. I’m going to make sure it gets better. Before I’m done, you guys are going to see the real me.”
