Jonathan Gresham recently appeared as a guest on the Kurt Angle Show for an in-depth interview covering all things pro wrestling.
During the appearance, the former ROH World Champion spoke about trying to remain optimistic during the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as how he was fearful that he wouldn't get to wrestle anymore.
Featured below are some of the highlights from the interview where he touches on these topics.
On how he was trying to stay optimistic when the COVID-19 outbreak shut everything down: "Yes. I try to stay optimistic. I’m a pessimist from the start, but when it hit I was financially in a pretty good situation but I was more concerned about my comrades, guys that were coming up and on pay-per-appearance with Ring of Honor. So, I was really thinking about them. ROH did a really good job of keeping us on payroll the entire pandemic, so I was concerned but I was also thinking, ‘Okay, I’m going to jump to what next?’"
On how he was kind of scared of not being able to wrestle anymore: "I spent my entire adult life becoming a professional wrestler, so there was really nothing else I could really use that knowledge for, so that was kind of scary. But yeah, I thought it was over for me. But I was just going to ride the wave of the contract. Money was still coming in and hope for the best."
