Tommaso Ciampa recently spoke with Talk Sport for an in-depth interview covering all things pro wrestling.
During his appearance on the program, the WWE NXT Superstar spoke about how Rick Steiner was supposed to be at the NXT Halloween Havoc 2021 special event, on the ending of his rivalry with Johnny Gargano was disheartening and more.
Featured below are some of the highlights from the interview.
On how Rick Steiner was supposed to be at NXT Halloween Havoc 2021: “So, [Rick Steiner] was meant to be at Halloween Havoc. He pulled out last minute. Maybe because I retained, but I won’t say that’s why [laughs]. I would love to be friends with him. I said to Bron ‘I don’t want to meet your dad, I want him to be my buddy.’ I want us to exchange numbers and whatever Rick Steiner does. He’s probably not a big phone guy, I don’t know [laughs]. But I just wanna be friends with him.”
On how the ending to his feud with Johnny Gargano was disheartening: “It was disheartening. I’ll be honest, a lot of our feud, I can’t think of something that’s had more obstacles than that, between Aleister [Black] getting injured and my injury. It would have been perfect if we’d gone to TaekOver New York like we were supposed to. So it hurts a little sometimes because I know it’s tarnished in some people’s minds, but I know how much we put into it and that’s what hurts. We know the passion that went into that work, so yeah, it’s a bummer that we didn’t get to finish it the way we imagined.”
