Wes Barkley had a great time as an extra.
Barkley recently made a bit of history in WWE, securing two straight extra bookings to appear on the February 24 and March 3 episodes of WWE Raw.
As it turns out, things went very well for the Cleveland native, as he was able to connect on a bit of a personal level with The Miz.
"From the segments? Not really, but I did have a lot of great convos in Cincinnati and Buffalo with some of the talent. I’m not going to name everybody, but I will say The Miz was super awesome. It was great to finally meet him. His dad comes to some of our shows. I have that little connection. His dad has been telling me, ‘If you see him, say hi to him.’ He did the dark match in Cincinnati. I caught him before he left and we had a good conversation and we have the Cleveland connection. I’m hoping to run into him again soon. He gave me some good advice about getting some buzz going and his path. Everyone’s path is different, that’s what I’m thinking about. Seeing all the talent there, these are the best wrestlers in the world. Everybody there, whether is LA Knight, Punk, Seth Rollins, Tozawa, Gunther, everybody has a unique path that got them there. Hearing The Miz talk to me about that really opened up my eyes to it even more. I have to keep grinding. Keep figuring out who I am as a performer and what I offer. Just stay rolling. That’s pretty much what he said, ‘Keep it rolling.’ It was awesome to meet him." Barkley said while chatting with Jeremy Lambert and Joel Pearl of Fightful Overbooked's In The Weeds podcast.
Elsewhere in the interview, Barkley joked that he was going to contact Guinness World Records about his feat in WWE. Check out his full comments here.
