IWGP Global Heavyweight Champion David Finlay spoke with the company on a number of pro wrestling related topics, including his issues with El Phantasmo.
Finlay said, โELP, when I took over Bullet Club, you put up a lot of resistance. You made my job harder than it needed to be, Mr. โOh, what we said in the group chat, we werenโt going to kick Jay out.โ I was never part of that group chat. Clearly, that means you went soft. Now, I told you my Bullet Club, my War Dogs are for killers only. Now, youโve come a long way from being a killer. Matter of fact, I donโt think you ever were a killer. But hereโs what I really want to know. Do you regret it? Do you look yourself in the mirror, and do you regret not listening to me? I told you Jay [White] was a piece of s**t, I told you Juice [Robinson] was a piece of s**t. I said, โFollow me, and I will make sure you get all the gold and all the money that you could dream of.โ But no. You wanted to be Mr. Nice Guy. Hikuleo left you. Tanga Loa left you. Tama Tonga left you. All you have left is Jado, and where has that gotten you? You said yourself, your career has been the absolute drizzling s**ts, and I couldnโt agree more. Matter of fact, you took the words right out of my mouth.โ
On his plan to beat Phantasmo:
โLook what Iโve gone on and done. Iโve created the War Dogs. Iโve created this [IWGP Global Heavyweight Championship]. I have made myself champion time and time again. I have made my boys champions time and time again. The people out there wear War Dogs merch. It is a sea full of War Dogs fans. I havenโt seen one damn ELP shirt. When they cheer for you, itโs not because they love you. Itโs because they motherf**king pity you. But I will put you out of your misery, motherf**ker. Hereโs the thing. You say youโre gonna beat me within an inch of my life? What is more realistic, you beating me within an inch of my life, or me beating you within an inch of yours? I have ten points. If I make it to 12, if I got the brackets right, thatโs an automatic first place for me because I win all the tiebreakers. Not only am I gonna beat you. Iโm gonna make sure you feel every bit of pain. Iโm gonna powerbomb you so many damn times ELP that you wish you never became a professional wrestler. I mean that from the bottom of my heart. I despise you. I look at you, and I think youโre a disappointment. I hate everything about you. So when we face off, it will be my absolute pleasure to torture you.โ
