Speedball Mike Bailey: Every Time I Get Close To Winning A Championship, It Just Slips Through My Hands

Speedball Mike Bailey says that every time he gets close to winning a championship, he manages to let it slip through his hand.

At AEW Grand Slam Mexico this past Wednesday, Speedball would challenge for the AEW International Championship and would come up short at the event marking the latest in a long line of title challenges where Bailey has come up short in AEW.

While speaking on his latest vlog, Speedball Mike Bailey spoke in the aftermath of the bout.

“I feel pretty bad. These are huge opportunities and I go out there and I give it my all every single time. I pour my heart and my soul into every single performance. I go out there, I sacrifice myself, and every time I get close to winning a championship, it just slips through my hands. I’m grateful for all the support, all the comments. Thank you so much for watching this match. Thank you for saying how much you enjoyed it. I’m glad to be able to put on good, entertaining performances every single time. That feels fantastic and that means the world to me, especially in Arena Mexico, the arena in the world that has the longest history, the most culture, that draws the loudest, most appreciative audiences in the world. Kyle Fletcher is undoubtedly not the- one of the best, if not the best professional wrestler in the world, and he has the championship, kudos to him for that. I am glad that Don Callis didn’t get involved. Like last time. But I’m sorry I couldn’t get it done.”

Speedball will feature in a triple threat match for the number 2 slot in the Casino Gauntlet match slated for AEW All In on this coming week’s edition of AEW Dynamite. You can read more about that here.
