WWE Cruiserweight Classic participant TJ Perkins recently spoke with GMA News about the tournament and more. Below are some of the highlights from the interview.
On joining the CWC after meetings with other promotions, such as New Japan:
“It came up along with a lot of other offers. I think, for the first time in a long time, I wanted my heart to decide where I go. I thought this would be good for me and good for my wrestling soul.”
On the CWC being a landmark and potential change in his career:
“I feel like everything was changing already, but when the CWC came, and now that it’s progressing, it feels like it’s actually like, a landmark or an anchor to all the change because it kinda represents something on a visual level in the form of an event that people can look back and say you know what, that’s when everything changed.”
On his dream scenario with Zack Sabre Jr. in the CWC:
“If I had a dream scenario, it would be Zack… We could do it a thousand times, we’re like Batman and the Joker. I think people kinda forget, because I could do a lot of different things, but in my heart, I’m really a technical wrestler. Being in there with somebody like Zack where he’s, you know, pure technician, I think it would be really fun and it’d be cool and we’ve done it in the past. To be able to do that in that sort of a way, it’d be kind of a special moment to look back at one of my long-time opponents and say look at what we’ve done, and look at where it brought us.”
