Trevor Lee reflects on his lengthy matches in CWF Mid-Atlantic.
Throughout his time with the company, Trevor Lee competed in a number of long matches, with some of those bouts even eclipsing the one hour mark. Even in his final match for the promotion in 2019, Lee went 75 minutes with Cain Justice in a match for the CWF Mid-Atlantic Heavyweight Championship.
While speaking to Fightful for a new interview, Lee reflected on his time with the company and how they had a special style.
"So I was very fortunate that with CWF Mid-Atlantic in Burlington, North Carolina, that I had a home that believed in me and trusted in me to just be able to try whatever I wanted to try, right? We had something very special there with that Mid-Atlantic style. We had we had fans that were there every single week. We ran two times a month and we had the same fans there every single time. That really makes it easy when they can follow that story and they can get emotionally
attached to it."
Lee went on to talk about how the long matches came easy to the locker room, as most performers were training at the school on a regular basis.
"So we had so much story coming into those matches that we really just got to take the time and feed off of those emotions throughout that whole time. A lot of those guys were my training partners every single day. I was training every single day at CWF Mid-Atlantic. So it was nothing for us to be in there and wrestle for an hour with no fans, right? So then to have the fans there and to be able to have the reactions off of it and to get the most out of all those reactions—man,
it was just so beautiful. At the time too, I was wrestling for PWG. So with that, I was able to travel the world and I was able to see all these different styles. I was able to see these wrestlers like Zack Sabre Jr. live and to be able to watch them and how they did these things and then be able to bring it back to that town and then try it myself. It was just so much fun, man."
Lee then recapped his 100 minute match with Lee Wilkins in 2016, saying that it is one of his best pieces of work.
"I think the match was an hour and 40 minutes was the longest one we ever did. With Roy Wilkins. It was a lot of fun and it's all free on YouTube, so you can go check it out if anybody has any interest in that. But it definitely is like a movie length. So I understand if you don't want to watch it, but it's one of my best pieces of work. It was before I even got to learn under the best in the world. So imagine how much better it could be now."
Elsewhere in the interview, Lee talked about producing a big match at WWE WrestleMania 40. Check out his full comments here.
