“There’s so much to him.”
WrestleZone recently spoke with Mr. Stone about his alliance with Von Wagner. Stone and Von Wagner have worked together for nearly two years, and fans have embraced them as a duo.
Mr. Stone said Von Wagner is his friend outside of the ring, as they started at the WWE PC on the same day. He believes that’s one reason why they’ve caught on.
“When you first saw him, I’m sure you thought and everyone else thought he was a monster that doesn’t really talk that much,” Stone said. “[He] doesn’t really have that much personality, but he does. He just wasn’t showing it. I think they’re getting to see now he looks like a monster, but he’s really a big teddy bear and he has that soft side, which most people do.
“They just see the way we’re connecting. Even in the past few months, our friendship’s been taken to a new level,” he added. “So the fans feel a part of that, and I think they get a kick out of it. They like it. I like it as it’s happening.”
Stone said there’s more to Von Wagner than meets the eye.
“There’s so much to him. I feel like people just saw, ‘big guy, monster, growls,’ that’s it. I’m just trying to let everyone see that there’s so much more. It’s kind of like in Guardians of the Galaxy with [Drax]. He’s this guy that you know can kill people, you know that he could. If you just looked at him, that’s probably what you would think. He’s got humor, he’s got a soft side,” Stone said. “That’s [who] Von is; he’s a lovable guy, and I’m glad that people are seeing it now.”
