Jimmy Havoc was interviewed by the Inside the Ropes podcast back at Starrcast III in Chicago during Labor Day weekend.
Havoc was asked questions regarding his hardcore style for televised matches and who is his dream opponent in AEW.
Havoc had this to say when asked about his hardcore style for television:
“Absolutely. For me, the [reason] why I always do hardcore matches before was like, a lot of the time I’d want to see what I could get away with and how I could create this art in a way that wouldn’t actually hurt me that much but would still be kind of disgusting and a bit f**ked up in the head. Because I love horror movies. So I’d get inspiration from horror movies and Jackassand [British comedy] Bottom. The frying pan thing comes from Bottom. I feel the challenge for me now is how I can do this sort of style of match within the confines of the company I’m in now. My biggest problem is, they’re not telling me what I can’t do yet. So I’m worried that I’m the sort of person who will go, ‘Well, you didn’t tell me I couldn’t do it.’ And I’ll do something and then [it will be too far].”
Havoc also spoke on who he would love to face in an AEW PPV:
“[Jon Moxley], 100%. Me and Moxley did a bunch of shows in Germany back together in like ’08, ’09. We wrestled in tag matches a couple of times. We meant to do a no-rope barbed wire match together. [But] Sami Callihan got a staph infection, so he couldn’t join the match as well, so they changed it and I wasn’t in it. And that has been one of my biggest f**king regrets, like I never got a chance to do it. So now he’s back, I’m pretty sure we won’t be able to do a no-rope barbed wire, but…I’d love to, yeah.”
