Curt Hawkins was recently profiled by Newsday ahead of WrestleMania 35; Hawkins talked about how he turned his losing streak into a great story:
“People were tweeting me that someone wrote some article that it was my 100th match in a row [that I lost]. And I was like, well that’s not untrue, for sure. That’s gotta be true, because I haven’t won . . . So I was like, if I’m going to be a loser, why don’t I just be the best loser they’ve ever seen.”
Hawkins says he was scheduled to win a match at one point before it was nixed, but he says he’s still enjoying his role:
“I look forward to wrestling so much more now, because when I go out there people truly care whether I win or lose,” Hawkins says. “Some of the most popular guys on the roster can’t say that.”
Hawkins also said he’s looking forward to getting a chance to compete in MetLife Stadium, as he watched from the press area the last time WWE was there six years ago:
“I watched it with my family in the press box, never even opened up my gear bag in my dream stadium where my favorite football team, the Jets, play. It would have been something very special for me. So, it’s cool to kind of come back home with all that has happened since then and get some redemption.”
