Kit Wilson Says Pretty Deadly Was Inspired By The Revival (FTR) And American Alpha
Pretty Deadly (Kit Wilson & Elton Prince) had a throwback vibe to their team, not only in presentation, but their in-ring work as well.
Appearing on What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes, Wilson was asked who inspired the duo to go in the direction they went.
“The big team that kind of start it off was The Revival. They were the big one. I’m a massive American Alpha fan. The American Alpha NXT run, I think, is 10 out of 10. I think it’s flawless. That’s my favorite tag team, but length-wise, they didn’t get the longevity. Jason Jordan, incredible. They were firing as I was starting wrestling. The Revival got us to Midnight (Express) and all those classic teams. We very much had an old school approach and feel that we wanted to capture,” he said.
The Revival is now FTR (Dax Harwood & Cash Wheeler) in AEW. American Alpha consisted of Jason Jordan and Chad Gable.
Unfortunately, Prince is sidelined with an injury, putting a halt to Pretty Deadly as a team for the time being. Wilson has continued on television as a singles star.
