Davey Richards & Eddie Edwards Talk Team 3D, Hardys, TNA Leaving Spike, More

– TNA tag team The Wolves, Davey Richards & Eddie Edwards recently spoke with the UK’s Liverpool Echo promoting Maximum iMPACT 7. You can check out the full Interview here. Below are the highlights:

TNA leaving Spike and finding a home with Destination America:

Davey Richards: “I always had faith personally. It wasn’t a matter of ‘if’, it was just a matter of ‘when’. But it’s definitely put a shot in the arm of everyone, it’s like “now let’s get back to work and really kick this off’. Because Spike was really tough on us with not advertising us too much, whereas Destination America, we’re like a flagship thing, and they’re going to invest energy in us. Energy builds more energy and I’m really excited about it.”

“I can’t tell you how many live events we went to and fans were like ‘we didn’t know you guys were in town’ and it was kind of like… and then I’d get a Facebook message from fans saying ‘that was a great show’ and I’d be like ‘tell a friend!’.

Eddie Edwards: “One hand washes the other. I think we’re in a situation where they want to promote us and we want to promote them, it’s a team effort. As far as Spike, Impact was one of the top, if not the top rated show, yet you wouldn’t know it from their advertising.”

“Especially at live events we do the meet and greets, we meet pretty much all the fans there, everybody is out there signing stuff, and it’s a cool atmosphere.”

Facing Team 3D & The Hardys and proving they belong alongside great tag teams:

Davey Richards: “”Absolutely. That was our statement. We belong. We did say that and it was. You’re outside that bubble, that brass ring bubble I call it, of royalty in tag team wrestling. And we said ‘now we’re going to kick through’, we won it and that was us kicking that door in.”

“And we can’t thank them enough, because none of that would have been possible without them, so huge respect to all four of those guys.

Eddie Edwards: “Before that people maybe saw those guys as being steps and steps above us, but finally we’re in there at the same time, we’re going back and forth promo wise and match wise, to prove we belong.”

“Tag team wrestling in general owes them thanks.”

Upcoming Maximum Impact 7 UK Tour and British Bootcamp 2 finalists being apart of it:

Davey Richards: “We can confirm we will be there and we’re going to be hunting for our titles.”

“I think Dave Mastiff is going to be a huge star. Well literally! I think he’s phenomenal. I think Noam Dar is really, really good, Rampage, I just saw him wrestle with Ligero, and he was good last time I saw him but he’s even better now. I think those guys… I saw Grado up in Scotland, and he reminded me of a Colt Cobana, a really entertaining guy. And that’s good because it’s something different. But if I had to choose one guy, I think I’d say Dave Mastiff, he’s really talented.”

Eddie Edwards: “They’re going to be feeding off that crowd for those matches and it’s going to be quite the experience for them, I’m sure. I think Mark Andrews is going to give a shot in the arm of the X Division.”
