Dalton Castle recently spoke with Justin Barrasso for Sports Illustrated Extra Mustard‘s Week In Wrestling; you can read a few highlights below.
Castle challenges Cody Rhodes for the Ring Of Honor World Championship this Friday night at Final Battle in New York City.
Castle comments on how far he’s come, and the opportunity in front of him on Friday:
“It’s pretty intense to think back to when I started and where I am now. It’s a lot of responsibility, and there is a lot of pressure I put on myself, but I’ve got nothing but excitement for the biggest spot of my life.”
“This is, by far, the biggest moment of my life. I am walking into Final Battle and proving I belong in that spot in the main event. Only one thing is true about the match Cody and I are going to have: it’s going to be memorable.”
Castle comments on what makes him confident:
“I know exactly who Dalton is. Over the years, I’ve learned I have what it takes to make this work. I am confident and fearless in every move I make.
“It’s not just a costume or an entrance that makes me confident. I know I have the talent to make everything work. And once I get in the ring, I’m a great wrestler. That’s why I feel confident in every move I make.”
Castle talks about proving himself every time he’s in the ring:
“I still tell myself every time I’m about to go the ring that I’m starting back at zero. Even though the anxiety that stirs within me disagrees, I feel like it’s good for me. That reminds me that I need to prove myself every time.”
