During a recent interview with The Sun, Matt Riddle commented on Booker T’s comments that he needs to wear boots in the ring, and more. You can check out some highlights from the interview below:
On Booker T saying Riddle needs to wear boots on the main roster: “I don’t know what’s up with this guy. He’s always got something to say. I’m not gonna wear shoes. I’ve been doing this stuff for a long time now, been doing it barefoot, pretty successful. I’m not saying there isn’t a toe injury out there. That could happen. But at the same time, you can say the same thing about my hands, like I don’t wear gloves or I don’t wear a mouthpiece so I’m gonna lose a tooth. It’s pro wrestling, it’s sports entertainment. It’s a crazy live show. Anything can happen, you know. So eventually, I might stub a toe. I might twist an ankle or I might break a finger. You know, I might lose a tooth, I’ve already lost a couple, things happen. You know, so, I mean (Booker), I respect you. But I’m probably still not gonna wear shoes bro. I’m sorry.”
On Vince McMahon’s strut vs. Conor McGregor’s: “Well, let’s be honest Vince is the originator, he’s the original and his bank account is probably way bigger than Conor McGregor’s. Even though Conor McGregor is the showpiece and he’s the fighter and he can create a lot of controversy and money but this is the original. But I’ll say this, Connor does it and then usually knocks you unconscious, or after vice versa, you know, so it’s a more intimidating walk.”
