Ring Of Honor (ROH) World Champion Jay Lethal recently spoke to Windy City Slam on a variety of professional wrestling topics. Lethal explained why he doesn’t like being referred to as a veteran, discussed his record-breaking ROH World Title reign, and his reaction to competing on the G1 Supercard from Madison Square Garden in April. Here are the highlights:
Why he doesn’t like being referred to as a veteran:
I don’t even like hearing anybody referring to me as a veteran,” said Lethal. “I feel like there’s still a lot that I don’t know, there’s still a lot that I’m working on. Every wrestler can always strive to be a little better than they are now.
His record-breaking ROH World Title reign:
It feels amazing,” said Lethal. “In Ring of Honor, everyone who walks through the curtain, their goal is to make Ring of Honor bigger and/or better than it was yesterday. I think that puts us all on the same playing field.
I’ve always had a tough time looking at myself as someone great or something great. I don’t have that view of myself. Although, I don’t think I’m awful (either).
Competing at the G1 Supercard in April:
I’m so nervous. It’s amazing. No one thought it was possible,” Lethal said. “The little kid inside of me is jumping for joy right now. He can’t contain himself. He knows he’s about to wrestle in the same building that he watched on his couch with his brothers, countless wrestling events. It’s unreal.
