BDE talk Khao, Irish wrestling, their goals for 2025 and more.
Fightful's Corey Brennan recently interviewed BDE, a faction based out of Ireland including Bittersweet Josh, Big Bad Dirty Nicky and Cory Zero. The faction is set for a trios bout on May 31st's Khao Jour de Paye event in Wissous, France, where they will take on The Idolatry.
You can check out the interview below.
Q: With Khao coming up on May 31st, what are all of your thoughts on the promotion compared to others in France and what sets it apart from the rest?
Cory: After taking part to the first KHAO event, it was probably the most electric crowd I have ever performed in front of. It brings together the most hardcore pro-wrestling fans in France, showcasing compelling stories and breathtaking action.
Q: At the event on May 31st, you will face The Idolatry in trios action. What are your thoughts on your opponents and Cory's shared history with them?
Cory: This is a personal match. As BDE knows, I'm a very introverted person, I don't open up to people, I don't show who I am to people. But Idolatry, they know everything about me. They've seen every side of me. We used to train and spend every weekend together. So I dont understand how we could go from that to them kicking me in the head.
Nicky: Personally I think they should stick to selling clothes and stay out of BDE's way.
Josh: We've met the lads before, we don't know them much, but one thing that we know for sure is that if you mess with one you mess with all.
Q: What does the future hold for BDE in Khao following May 31st?
Cory: On May 31st we will make a statement, after we're done with Idolatry we will see what's next in store, all the other factions in KHAO are on notice.
Q: Outside of Ireland, what are each of your favorite countries to wrestle in?
Cory: Definitely my home country of France and Germany, which seems to have adopted me as in the last period I'm wrestling all over it.
Josh: You can't really beat a home crowd, so on top of Ireland it has to be Italy for me and now that I am starting to have a taste of it I can't wait to take over all of its regions.
Nicky: I had some of my best times in Belgium and Italy.
Q: What is the origin of BDE's toilet paper throwing entrance, how do you all feel about the spot?
Nicky: The origin? Allegedly, Aonghus McAnally decided to mess with us at first and then everyone joined it, Personally I'm just very glad it has stopped.
Josh: One thing is for sure though, as annoying as it was, it showed us that them idiot OTT fans cared enough to shower us in toilet roll and that takes a lot of attention.
Q: Are the OTT Tag Team and Women's championships the goal for you all in the near future?
Nicky: Obviously.
Cory: BDE wants all the gold in OTT.
Josh: As you should know, we are currently the number 1 contenders for the OTT Tag Team titles and of all teams we beat to gain such advantage, it was self-proclamed best tag team in Europe The Social Elite. Something tells me we may still have unfinished business with them, as for the made-up team of Sammy D and Trent Seven...their days days are numbered.
Q: Cory, how did it feel to win OTT's Queen Of The Ring tournament last year?
Cory: It was an honour, to not only beat women from all over Europe, but also walk away with the crown.
Q: Outside of championship gold, what are all of your goals for the remainder of 2025?
Nicky: To spread the word of BDE as far and wide in as many places as possible.
Cory: To continue to conquer the world, I'm currently on country number 13 and I don't plan on stopping any time soon.
Josh: To face all of the best teams in Europe and beyond, just bring it.
