Matt Menard gets heated about his recent struggles.
Matt Menard, Angelo Parker, Daniel Garcia, Anna Jay, and Tay Melo left the Jericho Appreciation Society in August. The group has struggled to build meaningful momentum since then. Menard and Parker have especially racked up several losses. Most recently, the duo teamed up with Jake Hager in a losing effort against Orange Cassidy, HOOK, and Katsuyori Shibata on the November 22 episode of AEW Dynamite.
AEW shared a post-match promo by Menard on social media, in which he was asked to describe what happened.
“You want to talk to me? Where am I looking? You want me to look at you? You want me to look at George? You want me to look at the camera? Who knows [what happened]? What’s happened for the last six months? What’s happened for the last six months? That’s what I wanna know. I know we left Chris Jericho in August. It wasn’t supposed to be like this. You know the balls that it took to leave that man? You guys know the story. I gave him everything. Everything. But at some point, at some point in everybody’s life and everybody’s career, you realize that you reached the ceiling. You reached the ceiling. Is that what you want to hear? You have to make a move. So that’s what we did. That’s what we did," Menard said.
Menard then expressed his frustration with Daniel Garcia's dance and Angelo Parker's behavior around Ruby Soho. He told Garcia to get his head in the game because he has a major opportunity with the AEW Continental Classic. Menard also made it clear that he does not have any time to waste.
"I thought I was on a team with men. I thought I was on a team with a bunch of men. But it’s dead! I find out. I find out that I’ve got a guy that wants to run around and dance like like he’s at a nightclub. Garcia, I love you, I love you. You’re in this tournament. You’re in this tournament now, okay? Do you have any idea how big this opportunity is for you, I know you do. Get your head in the game. On the other hand. I’ve got Angelo Parker, my friend since the third grade. He’s running around like he’s never seen a woman in his life, like he’s never kissed a girl, like it’s his first time. Are you kidding me? Are you kidding me? Do you think I have this kind of time to waste? Huh? Do you? Do you think I have this kind of time to waste? Running around kissing girls? Running around and dancing? I got a [family] who depends on me to come home every week. I can’t let that boy down," Menard said.
Daniel Garcia will face Claudio Castagnoli on the November 25 episode of AEW Collision. More information is available here.
