Daniel Garcia will close the gap to the best in the AEW locker room or he will die trying.
On Saturday's edition of AEW Collision, Daniel Garcia racked up another singles victory, defeating Angelico on the program in the latest in his streak of singles wins against some of the top young talents in AEW.
After the match, AEW camera's caught up with Garcia backstage. While Garcia admitted he's not close to being the best in the world right now, he's going to do everything he can to close that gap, or die trying.
"Man, Angelico's really good. Angelico's really good, man. He almost ripped my leg off my body while I was out there the entire match. My leg's in a lot of pain right now. That's why clearly I'm sitting, can't be standing. But it feels good to pick up a lot of really good key wins lately against really talented people. Bryan Keith, Komander, Angelico, Lee Moriarty the other week. It's good to pick up these wins, but I'm not delusional. I'm not gonna be like everybody else in this locker room who every week goes out on TV and is saying in locker room to anybody that will hear it. I'm the best. No, I'm the best. I'm the better wrestler. No, I'm the better wrestler. That's not me, and because I'm not. I know I'm not. I'm not foolish. I'm not delusional. I know I'm not one of the best in the world right now. I got a lot of holes in my game that I need to fill, and I got a lot of a big gap that I need to close in the locker room at AEW that is a lot separating me from the best right now. I'm not the best. I'm not the strongest. I'm not the fastest. But I think I might work the hardest. I'm going to keep working until that gap is narrowed a little bit. Or at least I'm going to die trying."
