EFFY talks The Collective and future goals for himself.
EFFY is FINE. Everyone knows that whenever they go to see any events that EFFY competes on. Perhaps the most electrifying of all EFFY performances comes during his special event at The Collective, EFFY’s Big Gay Brunch.
Recently, EFFY spoke with Fightful’s Stephen Jensen at the GCW Astronaut event at Center Stage in Atlanta, Georgia. During the interview, EFFY spoke about The Collective and how wild the stream of events can be across the entire world of wrestling and what he does to get through all of it.
"I’ve tried to reset myself before this March and April time, but it's going to be non-stop starting next week. Your body goes into a secret WrestleMania mode where you just rock it out and get through it, and your brain turns to wrestling and you’re going, ‘Oh, I’ve got to wrestle in another five hours’ or ‘I’ve got to wrestle in twelve hours.’ So, it’s a different mindset completely and if I don’t have these times of mild hibernation then I can’t fully jump in and assess them as well as I’d like to," he said.
Speaking about future goals for himself, EFFY revealed he would like to have a career that is just like Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson's but in Reverse. He says he wants to become popular outside of wrestling and then bring all of that notoriety back to the world of professional wrestling. For him, it all comes down to making new fans for the entire world of wrestling.
“I think what’s really exciting for me is these weekends are very important and hit big in wrestling, but I think throughout the wrestling year I’m focusing on a serious thing called the Reverse Dwayne,” he explained. “Where Dwayne got popular in wrestling and made all his money in movies after. But I want to get popular in all that crap and bring it back to wrestling because Tom Cruise does all his own stunts, but he can’t improv like the fucking boys at GCW. So, we’ll keep bringing people back to wrestling because the more people that find out about us outside our niche, core audience to jump in, the more excited they are about what the heck we’ve even got going on. So, I want to bring those outside voices in and hold court, and instead of trying to impress wrestling fans, make new fans and that’s going to blow their minds.”
We will have full coverage of all of the events held at this year's GCW Collective in addition to everything else happening in the world of professional wrestling during WrestleMania 38 weekend.
