Action Bronson wowed fans with his debut in-ring performance in All Elite Wrestling.
The hip-hop star is still training, so another in-ring showing could be coming in the future.
Bronson recently spoke with GQ and looked back on his in-ring debut with AEW in a match involving the man he provides the official theme music for, HOOK.
Featured below are some of the highlights from the interview.
On how his debut match at AEW Grand Slam Rampage came together: “I debuted my own shoe, Arthur Ashe Stadium in Flushing motherf*cking Queens in front of 20,000 [people]. I’ve done a lot of crazy shit and it’s hard to articulate sometimes what I’ve done and I don’t really like to talk about it, but this was f*cking crazy. I’ve been watching wrestling for my entire life. I got the call from the ECW legend Taz, I hear that they’re doing some sort of big show in Queens at Arthur Ashe Stadium, grand slam situation. Taz lets me know, ‘Listen man, we want to do an angle.’”
On how he trained hard for weeks to be in ring shape: “So I start training. Ten weeks of training and being in the ring and it all culminated to me performing a song that me and Harry Fraud made in 2014. Arthur Ashe Stadium, 20,000 people, sold out. Motherf*ckers screaming. After I did the song, I got in the ring and I wrestled. I did moves, you know? I did a f*cking running power slam. I showed athleticism and it was because of the grip that I had from the shoe.”
On whether he’ll return to the ring: “I’m training. You see all of these medieval utensils around, so I’m always ready. If you stay ready, you don’t have to get ready.”
