Former Impact Tag Team Champion Jake Crist was interviewed by Interactive Wrestling Radio. You can see highlights below, and the full podcast and interview at this link.

Being more polished since Sami Callihan joined the group at Bound for Glory:
"I do find that is the case. Sami is our best friend, our legit best friend. He brings a whole different approach as far as my brother and my game. I feel very comfortable beside not only my brother (Dave) but also beside Sami Callihan as well."

 

What "Ohio Versus Everything" Means:

"It is in our water. There is a sense of pride when you're from Ohio! There's a reason we are the heart of America!" He continues, "As far as I can remember, it has always been my brother and I versus everything. That is kind of the approach we take in our personal life as well as our professional life is us versus everything. If you fall into everything, I'm sorry! (laughs) But, it is Ohio Versus Everything!"

 

Rumors of WWE trying to acquire the HWA Heartland Library:

"That has been a rumor for as long as I can remember. We actually started there. Sami Callihan as well. As far as the video library, I have no idea. That could be the office being the office. But, I remember that rumor going as long as like 10 years back."

 

OVe versus LAX in a no-ropes barbed wire match on Impact:

"I think hardcore wrestling was altready legitimized by guys like Tommy Dreamer, Terry Funk, Cactus Jack, guys like that. As far as us, we're happy to be a part of the first no rope barbed wire match ever ti air on national television.
