Jade Cargill: I Tried Technical Wrestling, I Had No Reaction From Fans. They Want To See Me Throw People Around And Talk My Smack
Jade Cargill tried her hand at technical wrestling.
During her time in AEW, Cargill was open about frequently training with Bryan Danielson. As one would expect, ‘The American Dragon’ taught Cargill a lot about technical wrestling.
Speaking with Complex Graps for a new interview, Cargill recalled fans not being receptive when she tried her hand at technical wrestling in AEW.
“Daniel Bryan taught me so much technical wrestling and I tried it. I tried to do some technical wrestling, it’s funny because when I tried technical wrestling — I have tried it, go back at my old stuff at my previous company. I tried it, I had no reaction out of fans. I learned so much, I was training with him every week. You know what fans want to see? Me picking somebody up and throwing somebody around, me talking my smack. They don’t want to see me on the ground grappling. I know how to grapple, I know how to do it, they don’t want to see that. They cheer, they boo, they get up out of their seats, they do what they need to do when I’m pounding to the ground, that’s what they like.”
Continuing on, Cargill noted that she’s applying the advice from Booker T and Billy Gunn.
“The person I can say that, [their] technique and advice I’m using, it’s two people. One is Booker T and the other one that I’m using is Billy Gunn. I kind of went away from what Billy Gunn was telling me initially. If you look at Billy Gunn, look at his size, he knows how to use his size. Other than Lash and Nia and probably Raquel, I’m amongst Raquel right now. I’m 5”10. I’m a big girl. There’s no reason why I should be going toe-to-toe with little girls. Look at the way I look, I’m just aesthetically pleasing. I can go, I pick people up, that’s what I do. I whoop ass, that’s what I do. I just look good with it too.”
