AEW star Big Bill appeared on Talk Is Jericho to discuss a number of topics, including visiting WWE’s Luke Gallows.
Bill said, “Finally, in… November of 2020, I went to visit [Doc] Gallows, because I was in Atlanta. I had a conversation with him, we were all joking around, and I was like, ‘Man, maybe I should try and get back into wrestling.’ I don’t know, something about that day, being at Gallows’ place in Atlanta lit that fire back into me. So, I started taking it seriously.”
On getting support from Finn Bálor:
“I talked briefly to Finn when Impact offered me to go there. Because I was like, ‘Dude. WWE has done so much for me in terms of rehab and they’ve paid a lot of money. I don’t want to insult them.’ He said, ‘Just talk to [Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque.] He’ll understand.’ So then before I went to Impact I just texted Hunter, wanted to let him know [I was] super appreciative.”
On joining AEW:
“I’m like, ‘What the heck is this?’. It was QT [Marshall] reaching out and MJF reaching out, and they were asking if I could do this match with Wardlow. I said, ‘Yeah. Why not? This is a good opportunity.’ I don’t know if maybe they thought I was going to be afraid to do a job. I don’t know. Who gives a f***? Winning, losing, who cares man.”
