Wheeler Yuta discusses the Blackpool Combat Club and Cesaro.
The formation of the Blackpool Combat Club has done wonders for Wheeler Yuta's career. Since leaving Best Friends, Yuta has been racking up win after win and even recently participated in New Japan Pro Wrestling's Best Of The Super Juniors tournament.
While doing a virtual signing with K & S WrestleFest, Yuta was asked about how he handled the transition going from Best Friends to the Blackpool Combat Club.
"It was definitely very different. Part of it is like Chuck Taylor and Orange Cassidy, they are my friends in real life. I’ve known those dudes for years. Early on, it kinda felt like I’m in this big position, it’s still a huge position but it’s with my friends, I’m in my comfort zone. But when this started happening, it was like, alright, this is a step up, this is something completely different than what I’ve been doing. Now I have to earn these guys respect as well, the same that I did with my friends before. It was definitely a big step up, it was like a leg switch. But, now we’re rocking and rolling."
Later on in the signing, Yuta was thrilled when a fan asked him about the idea of Cesaro joining the Blackpool Combat Club.
"Cesaro’s awesome. I would support him in any role anywhere I can see him wrestle. He’s incredible. But I think he would fit in very well with us, he’s got history with [William] Regal as well."
Fightful Select recently had a report on what promoters were being told when they tried to book Cesaro following his WWE departure. To see the full details on that, click here.
