JD McDonagh On Why He Thinks He Has Gotten His Flowers From Fans As Of Late: I Think They See That I’m Willing To Give It All In The Ring And I Wrestle Like A Psychopath Sometimes

JD McDonagh comments on why he has gotten his flowers from fans as of late from wrestling fans, attributing it to his wrestling style.

Since making his debut in NXT 2.0 under his new ring name, McDonagh has been a staple of WWE television not only in developmental, but on WWE Monday Night RAW since he was added to The Judgment Day faction.

While speaking to Adrian Hernandez in a new interview, JD McDonagh was asked why he thinks fans have given him his flowers recently.

“Well, I’ll let you in on a little secret. When I got my chance to come from NXT UK to NXT to land in America, I was 32 years old, and I was thinking, okay, this is finally my shot that I’ve worked for. I’ve finally gotten a nice pitch that I can swing at. So I said to myself, every single match I have in America, whether it’s on NXT 2.0, it’s on a live event, if I’m lucky enough to get on a PLE, I’m gonna give this 100%. I’m gonna full send it gonna go and not like worry about the repercussions of it for my body or any of that and I think that’s what’s kind of gotten me my flowers the fans I think they see that I’m willing to give it all in the ring and I wrestle like a psychopath sometimes. (laughs)”
