TNA International Champion Steve Maclin spoke with Fightful Overbook’s Jeremy Lambert and Joe Pearl on In The Weeds about various topics, including his experience fighting through the copious amounts of blood in the Dog Collar Match.
Maclin said, “I was perfectly okay with that. It was very hard to see towards the end. Once you see me giving Judas the backdrop, hit shirt skimmed my face so everything draped over my eyes. I’m waiting for Travis to come in and I see him charging me. I was like, ‘I guess I’ll throw one.’ Didn’t know where it was going to land. We got to where we needed to and somehow he was upside down. I caught him, hit him with a backbreaker, which was nice.”
On how it was hard to see and maneuver around:
“I enjoyed that I came out on top in that moment, but it was very hard to see and hard to maneuver around, but the entire match I was very coherent and very responsive to the referee asking me every ten seconds, ‘Are you okay?’ ‘Yes, I’m fine. Leave me the f**k alone.’”
