Reigning NJPW Strong Openweight Champion Gabe Kidd spoke with Fightful on a number of topics, including how you can’t compare AEW with NJPW as he believes they are a pro wrestling company while AEW is a TV show.
Kidd said, “I came in and beat people up in five minutes. Easy to me. Then I stole, well I didn’t steal, I was rightfully entitled to it. I took about five boxes of catering. That’s the best thing about AEW, their f***ing catering. We get salmon rice bowls over there. I’ll take a nice little steak dinner for the next three days. Going there is easy for me. I’m used to doing tours. If I go there and do one show a week, come on. These guys can’t compete. You can’t put us on the same level. ‘They are a high level pro wrestling because they’re on TV.’ Are they? F**k. New Japan is where the s**t is. We’re on the road every single week. G1 finishes, a week later, we’re on the next tour. We keep moving. You can’t [compare] the two. We are a pro wrestling company. You are a TV show.”
