One of the hardest hitters in the world of professional wrestling is former NXT World Champion Ilja Dragunov. The Mad Dragon is known for always putting his body on the line in every match.
Recently, Ilja Dragunov was interviewed by Metro.co.uk. During the interview, the former NXT World Champion revealed that his son, who is seven years old, has not watched any of Dragunov’s matches. He also thinks that his family is not a fan of his wrestling style.
“I think my family hates my wrestling style. Literally, until this day, my son didn’t see one match of me. He’s seven, and he’s going to turn eight this year. So, because I know what I do in that ring, and I know how I do that, it would be a bit too much for a seven year old to understand. He’s going to need a bit more time until we get to that point.”
Ilja Dragunov can’t think about the pain too much
Dragonuv also mentioned that while he indeed takes a lot of beating and is handling a lot of pain. But at the end of the day, the Mad Dragon mentioned that his body takes a beating only as much as he know how much his body can take.
“It sounds a bit ruthless, but I really can’t think about that too much, because I think as more you pay attention to something, the more you create a self proclaimed prophecy,’ he explained. I just have the belief that my body is able to take what I expect from my body, to take in a certain performance that I do, because if I don’t do it like I do, then I have no place in this business, and I have no business doing anything, right?” Ilja Dragunov said.
