Les deux membres de l’équipe FTR, Cash Wheeler et Dax Harwood, s’affronteront mercredi à Dynamite. Et ce n’est pas l’idée de Tony Khan.
Ce match servira de qualification pour le tournoi de la Fondation Owen Hart.
Harwood a mentionné sur Twitter que ce sera la seule fois qu’il affrontera son ami Wheeler dans le ring (“First time. Only time.”).
Sur le podcast Wrestling Perspective Podcast, les deux lutteurs ont toujours voulu s’affronter dans un match de lutte.
Et ils ont dû être convaincants afin que la AEW accepte ce duel. Harwood considère que le tournoi était le bon moment, car la famille Hart leur tient à coeur et FTR veut honorer la mémoire d’Owen Hart de manière spéciale en tant que fans.
“That was our idea, totally. We had to fight for it, but that was completely our idea.”
“There had to be a reason and this is the perfect reason to do it. The Hart family means a lot to both of us personally and professionally. So being able to show respect to Owen Hart and his whole family, what better way to do it than allowing the two biggest Hart family fans in the world compete?”
Harwood ajoute que le duo se séparera avant qu’un autre match l’opposant à Wheeler soit sur la table.
“I’ll retire before we ever even entertain that idea. I’ll say that right here right now. Print it. Tattoo it. I don’t care. We’re never going to do a breakup angle.”
Il soutient que Khan aimait l’idée, mais avait de la difficulté à se décider sur la pertinence de tenir ce match.
“[Tony Khan] did like it, but he was like, ‘Okay, I gotta see if I can make it make sense.’ We just stayed on him about it, ‘Hey, can we? Can we? Can we?’ Finally, he was like, ‘Alright, I got a way where we can make it all work. You’ll do it in Philly. It’s going down.’ So yeah, he liked the idea, and he finally gave us the nod, and here we are.”
