Speedball Mike Bailey decides to compliment Ricochet instead of getting into a war of insults.
At AEW Dynasty, both Speedball Mike Bailey and Ricochet will challenge AEW International Champion Kenny Omega for the gold after they both achieved a pinfall victory in a number one contenders match on the March 19th edition of AEW Dynamite.
While speaking to WrestleZone in a new interview, Speedball was asked about a recent interview where Ricochet said 'he had a face made for slapping'.
"I mean, he's not wrong, evidently. I can't be the judge of that, but a lot of people have. attempted successfully and unsuccessfully to slap me in the face. I would argue that I have been slapped way more in a professional wrestling context. I don't think I've ever been slapped or at least in my adult life in the face outside of a professional wrestling context. Thank the Lord. But I mean, I think I appreciate that he was nice about it. He could have said a lot of mean things, but he said he complimented my face. I don't want to go into a war of insults, right? I think that that's a lame way to go about promoting a wrestling match. I mean, I think we have enough good sides, Ricochet and I, we can just rely on that and I mean I think there's a lot, there's a lot of good to say about Ricochet and I'd like, rather focus on that, right? Like, obviously he's done a really, really good job, talking about his character work, right? The new persona he developed and how that really helped him stand out as a wrestler. I think he is right now one of the best promos in AEW, and one of the promos I can't wait to hear from him is how unfair it was that he lost to Speedball Mike Bailey because I kick too hard. I don't wear shoes. Whatever excuse he's going to come up with, I'm sure it will be absolutely amazing, and I can't wait to hear him in his beautiful voice talk about why he lost to Speedball Mike Bailey."
Speedball recently spoke about who they would like to face in All Elite Wrestling now that he has signed. You can read more about that here.
