In an interview with Sports Illustrated’s Extra Mustard, Global Force Wrestling superstar Eli Drake commented on several topics, including the decision to make him the company’s World Champion.

“Once I heard the decision was made (to win the world title), I put a lot of extra pressure on myself to not relax or be complacent. I actually started doubling up my workouts and I was in the ring two or three times a week extra just because I wanted my work in the ring, on the mic, and my conditioning to be second to none. If I’m going to be the face of the company, then I’m going to make sure I can go like nobody else.”
