Daniel Garcia doesn't want to let anyone down in 2024, including himself.
After only picking up one victory in the Continental Classic Tournament, Daniel Garcia is at a crossroads in his career. Following his loss to Swerve Strickland on the January 3 episode of AEW Dynamite, Garcia spoke to Renee Paquette about what the future looks like for him.
"I went almost a year here just wanting and being hungry for opportunity after opportunity. I mean, I basically sat a year in the back or a year just walking out Chris Jericho to his theme song and you know, not doing anything on my own. I just feel like, you know, Now is my time to show what I can do to have these matches, and getting put in the Continental Classic was such a blessing," he said.
Furthermore, Garcia said he doesn't want to let anyone down, including the fans.
"I think if I had that answer, I think it would be a much different position that I'm in right now. You know, I lost tonight. So I hope it's not another case of me getting to the biggest wins in my career. Losing the next big match that I have. I don't want to be somebody that people look at as what could have been. 'Daniel Garcia has so much potential, but he fumbled. Garcia had so much potential, but he kept losing. Daniel Garcia had so much potential, but he just couldn't get the job done.' I don't want to be one of those people. I don't want to have regrets about my own and I don't want the audience to have regrets about my own career."
