MMA legend Josh Barnett recently appeared on Comedy Store Wrestling to talk about a variety of topics such as how he wants WWE Superstar Shayna Baszler to compete in a future Bloodsport Event because she was meant to be a part of an event like Bloodsport.
Josh Barnett said:
“I want Shayna Baszler. If there was anywhere else that was really meant for her, it’s this.”
Josh Barnett also talked about even though he has good relationships with people in the WWE, they are very protective of their talent, but he wishes he could use WWE talents for future Bloodsport events.
Josh Barnett said:
“Those rumors were incorrect. Whatever that could have been, isn’t how the rumors were trying to describe it, they didn’t understand. As much as I have good relationships with people in WWE, they are very protective of their talent. Even if I was proposing to do something where I was going to do nothing but elevate that talent, they still have a big control on what they do and where they go. I understand it. I wish I could use WWE talent, some of them, there is some very quality people there, but it’s a machine.”
Josh Barnett then talked about AEW wrestlers he would love to see compete at Bloodsport.
Josh Barnett said:
“Malakai Black. I would love to have him there. I have spoken to him about it. Samoa Joe, I would like him. Kyle O’Reilly. Bryan Danielson. We’ve been on the road together, I’ve coached him a little bit on some submission and catch stuff. He’s a phenomenal example of professional wrestling where he would do jiu-jitsu and submission wrestling on his own time to just become a better wrestler, whether he’s going to go work matches or really fight someone. It’s really commendable.”
