Matt Cardona recently spoke with WrestleZone for an in-depth interview to promote the upcoming NWA Crockett Cup pay-per-view.
During the discussion, the NWA World's Heavyweight Champion spoke about his main goal since joining the promotion, why he couldn't celebrate his title victory and taking great pride in being the world champion.
Featured below are some of the highlights from the interview where he touches on these topics with his thoughts.
On his goal the minute he walked into the NWA was to become world champion: “Of course it was my goal from the moment I walked in NWA to become the world champion. I honestly did not think I would get the opportunity that fast, and I’ve made a career out of capitalizing on opportunities. But Trevor is no joke. If you watch the match, he gets busted open pretty early, but he kept fighting, he did not quit. He’s a tough son of a bitch, and I give him credit for that. But I wouldn’t stop, and I wouldn’t stop beating him down. Hit that Radio Silence, 1-2-3.”
On he couldn’t even celebrate his title win because of Nick Aldis: “But I couldn’t even celebrate because out comes Nick Aldis, that jealous egomaniac, you know, trying to put himself in the spotlight once again, and that’s fine. If he wants to get the rub off me, that’s fine. If he wants to get some buzz off me, that’s fine. But one thing he will not get off me is the ten pounds of gold.”
On why he takes great pride in being the NWA world’s champion: “I’m very proud that my name is on that list. I take great pride in the fact that I’m the NWA Worlds Heavyweight Champion. Man, listen, I say I’m here to save the NWA, and I am. And I think me being the champion will save the NWA because for instance, I actually get booked other places. So [at GCW shows], I’ll be walking out with the NWA Worlds Heavyweight Championship. As opposed to Trevor or Nick, who don’t really do anything but NWA. So if you’re just promoting yourself to the people who are already watching, it’s not really promoting.”
