Impact Wrestling's own Sami Callihan recently spoke with the Wrestling Perspective Podcast.
During his interview with the show, Callihan explained the reason why being considered a deathmatch wrestler "is and isn't" a hinderence to a performers overall career. Check out the comments from Sami below:
“I think it is and it isn’t. I know a lot of deathmatch wrestlers that are amazing technical wrestlers too but have gotten stuck in that. But they’ve got stuck in that because that’s what they allowed themselves to get stuck in. One thing me and Moxley really did when we were younger…we didn’t do death matches for that long. We did death matches for eight months. We probably did them a handful of times when we were younger, like eight to ten death matches. And then we used that reputation… I see so many deathmatch wrestlers now in particular, but they’re in their late to mid-30s, they never got on television, and they’re stuck doing deathmatches each and every week, and sure, you can make a name doing death matches, and sure you can make money, but you can’t do that forever. Your body’s going to give out.”
