Keeping a lid on big information, especially that which may affect others, is a tough thing to do.
Roderick Strong knows this first hand.
The pro wrestling star recently appeared as a guest on the AEW Unrestricted podcast for an in-depth interview, during which he spoke about how difficult it was for him to keep his AEW contract signing a secret.
“It was very difficult," Strong said. "I feel bad because I misled some people. I didn’t outright lie, but it’s one of those things where you realize, especially nowadays, there are no real secrets anymore in wrestling."
Strong continued, "To actually be able to be one is huge. It’s something people remember forever. Having Killswitch Engage, that song means so much to me. It was too perfect. Definitely difficult (to keep the secret). Even some of my family I wasn’t being honest with because I know they’re so eager, ‘I can’t wait until this.’ You never know who is going to say anything. It was something I’ll never forget. I was so nervous. That’s when I felt, ‘this is right.’ I haven’t been this nervous in so long. It was too perfect."
