Matt Menard says he has been having the time of his life in recent months.
Last June, Menard and his tag team partner, Matt Lee (now known as Angelo Parker), were released by WWE. The duo subsequently landed in All Elite Wrestling, where they have become featured members of the roster. In March, they became founding members of the Jericho Appreciation Society alongside Chris Jericho.
During an appearance on Good Karma Wrestling (@GKW_Wrestling), Menard looked back on the last year of his life, dating back to his WWE release. He recalled how he signed with AEW, welcomed his son into the world, and wrestled Sting. Menard also called working alongside Jericho a dream come true.
“It’s the time of my life. The last year of my life has been so unbelievable. From being released by WWE in June of last year, to August being picked up with AEW, my son was born, we’re wrestling Sting, fighting CM Punk. I don’t know what is going on. To bring it around and the end of the winter to get into this thing with Jericho has been a dream come true, honestly," he said.
Menard was also asked to name the impact that Jericho has had on him, and he responded by describing some of the ways he has learned from the legend.
“I get to watch Jericho, the way he carries himself in the back, the way he handles his business, the way he presents himself as performer. I’m just constantly learning. I try to model myself after him. The one thing that I learned from being with him is that you can do no wrong," Menard said.
Menard and Parker recently re-signed with AEW. More information is available here. You can find out more information about the injuries Menard suffered during AEW Blood & Guts by clicking here.
