Top IMPACT Wrestling Star Trey Miguel made an appearance on the Refin It Up podcast to discuss topics such as his least favorite title defense as X-Division Champion, which was the 3-Way Match with Steve Maclin and Laredo Kid at the 2021 IMPACT Wrestling Turning Point Event.
Trey Miguel said:
“I remember not being the biggest fan of that match afterward if I’m being quite honest [three way with Steve Maclin & Laredo Kid at Turning Point 2021]. Afterward, that was probably one of my least favorite title defenses as X Division Champion and I don’t know, something felt like it just — I don’t know if it wasn’t clicking or what but, we approached it the best way that we could’ve I believe. I don’t know how the other two feel about the match but, it wasn’t my absolute favorite and those are two of my favorite wrestlers separately. Maclin was one — I’ve only had less than a handful of one-on-one feuds but I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed my feud with Maclin, and Laredo Kid and I have wrestled each other in probably more matches together than I’ve shared with anyone else on our roster at this point… Some people like lemonade and some people like ice tea and they form together and don’t like Arnold Palmer and this, for me, was one of those scenarios. I can’t tell you in great detail what the approach was or what the mindset was but I just know coming out of it, I was like…”
Trey Miguel also discussed never working a match with Mike Bailey before he got to IMPACT and how his match against Mike Bailey on last Thursday's episode of IMPACT would probably be his favorite Singles Match he has ever done with the former X-Division Champion.
Trey Miguel said:
“I actually hadn’t worked with Mike Bailey at all before he got to IMPACT. I think I had only been on two shows with him and both of them were overseas. One was for Fight Club: PRO in Wolverhampton and the other was O.T.T. in Cork, Ireland and it was him and PAC that night and I remember that night, that was one of the most memorable matches I had ever watched, from any perspective, being a fan or a wrestler. That match was just absolutely insane and after it, I remember saying like, ‘If I ever do get to wrestle Mike Bailey, I hope we do half of what they did out there’ and getting to do that at IMPACT, for that being our first time, I think that is really cool and [our match on the 11/10 IMPACT on AXS] will mark match three if I’m not mistaken and they only get better if you ask me… I take a lot of pride in the match that Bailey and I put on at Against All Odds earlier this year. I think that would probably be my favorite singles match I’ve ever done was with Mike Bailey.”
