The Rizzler got a little banged up back at AEW Full Gear.
The Rizzler made a special appearance at the show. He rang the bell ahead of Big Boom! AJ’s match against QT Marshall.
Speaking on Fightful Overbooked’s In The Weeds, Joey Janela revealed that The Rizzler hurt his hand when he rang the bell.
“The Rizzler got injured at AEW,” Janela said. “From ringing the bell, he hurt his hand. He hit the bell too hard. Giancarlo was the Rizzler’s handler that day. He had to get him a little wrap and ice pack. He sent me a picture of Rizzler icing his hand. He bashed the ring bell too hard and got injured. His first wrestling injury. That’s why he’s not showing up too much. He’s like, ‘This wrestling life is not for me.’” (H/t Fightful for the transcription)
Vinny Pacifico On The Costco Guys
The Costco Guys crossing over to AEW has sparked plenty of buzz in the wrestling world. Vinny Pacifico recently discussed what he learned from them in an interview with Bill Pritchard of WrestleZone.
“A tip that I learned was to take everything seriously,” he said. “Not in a way of ‘be serious’ but in a way of like, even if you mess up a video and have to go back and re-cut it, its worth it. Every second counts,” Pacifico explained. “Taking the extra step to make the video better is worth it.” Vinny Pacifico said.
“For example, I do promos after a show, I sometimes stay later to do it. Get out a half an hour later, but guess what? It was worth it. I think betting on yourself and taking initiative to better your career, your content and your character, is better in the long run,” he noted. “Getting into acting, getting into really high-level interviews, you have to be mindful of saying “um”. You have to catch yourself doing it. These last few months have been a whirlwind of learning and growing and getting experience from people I never thought I would. I’m trying to soak it all in and ride that wave.”
