Kyle Fletcher: The Biggest Thing Don Callis Thought Me Was To Revel In The Moment

Kyle Fletcher talks about the biggest thing Don Callis thought him.

Kyle has been a member of the Don Callis Family for several years now, leading him into some of the biggest storylines of his career including a blood feud with Will Ospreay and his capturing of the AEW TNT title. For Fletcher, one piece of advice in particular stands out from amongst the rest when it comes to Callis.

While speaking to Forbes in a new interview, Kyle Fletcher highlighted what he believes to be the best advice given to him by Don Callis.

“Don is so cool—he’s been around wrestling for so long that he’ll come up with these random tidbits and pieces of advice. Sometimes it will be literally standing together right before we go out on stage, and he’ll just say, ‘Just remember blah blah blah blah,’ or ‘Today, maybe try blah, blah, blah.’ And that’s always really helpful. The biggest thing he’s taught me is to not be afraid, to stand there and just revel in the moment. With wrestling, it’s so easy to think about say, for example, in a promo, I go out there and I know what I want to say, but he always encourages me to stand there and take a moment to just listen to what’s going on, and to hear the reactions and just play off that, as opposed to trying to get in whatever I had in my brain that I wanted to say beforehand. He says that the heat from the crowd is better than anything that I could say, right? So, when the reaction is there, he’s always encouraged me to soak it in and not stress myself out too much about everything else.”

Kyle was then asked if he keeps the advice in mind with his most recent heel antics involving Kenny Omega and Hangman Adam Page.

“Oh, absolutely. Every time I’m out there, I try to think about that, and I think that’s why it’s the best piece of advice he’s given me. Yeah, I think after the Kenny Omega thing, and then on Collision—very much so. It’s something I’m still working on, but, yes, definitely something I’m trying to think about more.”
