Perhaps Blackpool Combat Club has cracked the code.
Blackpool Combat Club has been featured on AEW programming since 2023. The group was founded by Bryan Danielson, Jon Moxley, and William Regal. Since its inception, the group has added Wheeler Yuta and Claudio Castagnoli but lost Regal. They continue to compete on AEW programming, and the faction may have a secret ingredient to their success.
Speaking with Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated, Bryan Danielson confirmed that there is a Blackpool Combat Club book club, and it helps keep them connected.
“Yes, there is a BCC book club. We recommend books to each other. Reading is fantastic. Once you open the door to the world of books, there is so much to learn. The BCC book club helps us stay connected. We share the belief that reading can enhance your life," Danielson said.
As for the members of the group, Danielson noted that Jon Moxley is a big reader, though Claudio Castagnoli reads a little less than them. He also joked that he was unsure of Wheeler Yuta's reading status, though they were all focused on trying to read more.
“Moxley is a big reader, too. He loves to read and think and analyze. He’s very creative. Claudio reads a little less than we do, but he likes to read. Wheeler, I’m not sure of his reading status [laughs]. We are focused on trying to read more," Danielson said.
Danielson also noted that he tends to read three books at a time, and he has been encouraging a lot of Mary Oliver's Devotions recently as an introduction to poetry.
