Ring Rust Radio sent out the following:
Ring of Honor Wrestling star Jay Lethal was a recent guest on Ring Rust Radio.
Highlights of the interview are below:
On ROH’s 12th Anniversary: “Well, already signed for the 12th Anniversary Show is myself versus the returning AJ Styles which I’m really excited about and it’s something to be excited about, because as a company, Ring of Honor is showing growth. Guys are coming back and there’s a lot of controversy and such around AJ’s return, because he was somewhere else before and now he’s back with Ring of Honor and of course with the acquisition of AJ, there’s a few more eyes on Ring of Honor who may not have been watching before, but they are now and that is exciting.”
On the CM Punk-WWE situation: “Would I like to see CM Punk return to Ring Of Honor? Of course, mainly the reason would be from a business standpoint. The fact that AJ Styles is returning brings a couple of new eyes paying attention to Ring of Honor, that situation would carry over to the fact that I would love CM Punk to come back to Ring of Honor, because then, there would be a few more eyes watching Ring of Honor that perhaps weren’t watching Ring of Honor before and they’ll see a couple of matches and they’ll see that Ring of Honor actually has one of the greatest wrestling products out there and they would continue to watch much after CM Punk’s matches. I do think that there is a big chance that Punk could return to Ring of Honor, because before CM Punk left ROH to go to the WWE, I was there for one of his last matches and I was there for a lot of CM Punk’s career in ROH and CM Punk’s blood and his DNA strands have Ring of Honor written all over it. The way he acted, he just loved Ring of Honor so much that I really do believe that CM Punk could return.”
On getting the chance to work with Ric Flair: “I’ve never been married, I don’t have any kids, so at this point in time, any and every single interaction that I’ve ever had with Ric Flair, namely when I got to wrestle him, is considered to me to be the greatest day and greatest night of my entire life. Like I said, I don’t think I’ve grasped and really tried to understand exactly what has happened in such a short time and when I realize it, I think I’m going to explode, that was the greatest time I’ve ever had in my life.
On being a well-known young guy: “I really don’t think about it that often, I just feel like it has all happened so fast that I haven’t had a chance to sit down and think about it. I know for a fact that once it slows down and I can sit and think about everything that has happened I’d go insane. I don’t think that I have fully grasped everything, because I have been extremely lucky and blessed.”
Jay also talked about Ring of Honor being on the rise, wrestling AJ Styles now in comparison to years ago, match preperation, his hopes to be in the WWE in the future and showing the wrestling world how good he truly is. The interview is available in full at this link.
