Voices from the Wrestling World

Several wrestling personalities have recently shared reflections and updates. Bill Eadie, known as Demolition Ax, credited fans as a vital force behind Demolition’s WWE Hall of Fame induction, stating,

“We owe our career to the fans and to the unselfish sacrifice of our families. As for fan support, we have always said that without their support, there is no drive to excel.”

He continued,

“The fans drive the sport. They give you a reason to do your best. They drive you to do your best. After all these years of support, we truly believe they were a great part of the decision making to induct us into the Hall of Fame.”

Rey Fenix congratulated his brother Penta on winning the Intercontinental title, saying,

“Congrats brother, you will always be my favorite luchador, i love you @penta_zero_miedo I miss sharing the ring with you, but now I think; would it be good to relive old times?”

Bayley revealed an overwhelming response to her upcoming women’s wrestling seminar in Las Vegas and noted,

Xavier Woods reflected on his lengthy wrestling career, sharing,

“I’m 22 years in wrestling, and that is shocking to me. I’ve very much enjoyed myself. I think I’ve had the chance to show what I can do in a lot of situations and with different opportunities. It has given me the chance to go and perform in places like Japan, Australia, the U.K., and South America, and other places I may have never got to have been in my life. We were able to build what we were able to build with the New Day and inspire a generation to be themselves. We have shown wrestling doesn’t have to be seen in one specific way. It can be fun at the end of the day. That’s what we are here to do at the end of the day, have a good time. It feels great.”
