Je’Von Evans Explains Why He Sometimes Purposely Overshoots His Moves

Je’Von Evans is keeping realism alive.

With a large chunk of his moveset relying on dives and springboard maneuvers, Evans knows that you need to throw some mistakes and/or miscues in there to make things seem real and not rehearsed. ‘The Young OG’ explained his mindset on the latest episode of the No Contest Wrestling Podcast.

“Sometimes I try to overshoot only because, from a fan perspective, if I hit something 100% clean now it looks like we dancing. I don’t want wrestling to look like that, I want true emotion. It’s kind of like, if you get me mad or I’m too excited and I jump in the air — sometimes if I’m in a real fight and I’m feeling myself too much, I’ll swing something crazy, I’m not going to hit that right hand every time. So, sometimes when I do a dive, if I’m too serious or if I’m too locked in, I’ll overshoot but I still get them and I’ll almost hurt myself. At the end of the day, I know I’m going to be okay, you know what I mean? I’m going to be sore but I know I’m going to be okay.  I’ve been wrestling for eight years, I know how to land.”

Elsewhere in the interview, Evans talked about potentially turning heel in the future. Fans can check out his full comments by clicking here.
