Action Bronson discusses his recent match with AEW and his future in wrestling.
Back in September 2022, Action Bronson made his debut inside in the squared circle in a tag team match alongside HOOK against Angelo Parker & Matt Menard. Bronson, who's a popular rapper, received quite a bit of praise for his performance in the bout.
In a recent interview with GQ, Bronson went into detail about how the match came together and even noted that his new shoes, the New Balance 990v6 Baklavas, helped him perform in the ring.
"I debuted my own shoe, Arthur Ashe Stadium in Flushing motherf*cking Queens in front of 20,000 [people]. I’ve done a lot of crazy shit and it’s hard to articulate sometimes what I’ve done and I don’t really like to talk about it, but this was f*cking crazy. I’ve been watching wrestling for my entire life. I got the call from the ECW legend Taz, I hear that they’re doing some sort of big show in Queens at Arthur Ashe Stadium, grand slam situation. Taz lets me know, ‘Listen man, we want to do an angle.’ So I start training. Ten weeks of training and being in the ring and it all culminated to me performing a song that me and Harry Fraud made in 2014. Arthur Ashe Stadium, 20,000 people, sold out. Motherf*ckers screaming. After I did the song, I got in the ring and I wrestled. I did moves, you know? I did a f*cking running power slam. I showed athleticism and it was because of the grip that I had from the shoe.”
When asked about his future inside of the ring, Bronson gave a short, but hopeful answer.
“I’m training. You see all of these medieval utensils around, so I’m always ready. If you stay ready, you don’t have to get ready.”
Bronson recently told TMZ that he feels like there are many storylines to explore with him in wrestling. Click here to learn more.
