Daniel Garcia talks pain and motivation following his loss in his first AEW Continental Classic Tournament match.
Claudio Castagnoli defeated Daniel Garcia on the November 25 AEW Collision, earning himself three points and giving Garcia something to think about. Garcia put his thoughts into words in a very vulnerable post-match promo.
"Why can't we come back and just be honest with ourselves? I'm going to be vulnerable with you every single time. I just had one of the toughest matches of my life against somebody who, I didn't think I was better than, but I thought I had a chance. I had a little bit of a chip on my shoulder coming into this match and he European Uppercuted that chip right off my shoulder. It came back on my shoulder and he knocked it back off. I had my family sitting in the front row and I got my ass kicked in front of my family," Garcia said in the digital exclusive. "If that's not pain and — I don't want to say motivation to do better, I don't think I need more motivation. earlier, I said I felt like a loser. I feel like just losing matches doesn't make you a loser. If you lose a match, you're not a loser, but for some reason right now, I lost a match, and I feel like a loser deeper than that. It's deeper than just losing a match. I feel like a loser myself and I don't know how to knock that feeling out of here."
