“The Last Real Man” Silas Young recently conducted an exclusive interview with the Ring Of Honor website ahead of his match with Jay Lethal at Best In The World this weekend; you can read a few highlights below:
Silas Young comments on why he attacked Jay Lethal after he had already defeated him:
Why make it so personal? Jay Lethal is the type of guy who has been handed things by Ring of Honor. He’s the type of guy who gets preferential treatment. Even after beating Jay Lethal, was anything talked about me getting world title shots, was I offered any Ring of Honor World Television Title shots? No, I wasn’t. Instead, a few weeks later Jay Lethal all of a sudden has a world title opportunity. Jay Lethal gets more main event opportunities after losing. That’s my problem. My problem is that Jay Lethal has everybody believing that he’s this great guy, that he’s the type of guy you want to build a company around. The fact of that matter is that Jay Lethal is no different than me and that is exactly why I attacked him. The only difference between me and Jay Lethal is that I’m a hundred percent who I am to your face, at home, on TV, it doesn’t matter, where Jay Lethal has to put on this act.
Young says Lethal is not a real man and calls him a kiss-ass:
Jay Lethal isn’t a real man; Jay Lethal’s a kiss-ass. I don’t walk around in the back and glad-hand everybody and call them “buddy.” I don’t kiss the asses of the guys who run things so I can try and move myself up the card. Jay Lethal’s nothing but a kiss-ass and no real man has ever been a kiss-ass.
What is Young’s final message to Lethal before they meet at Best In The World:
I’m glad you asked that. Jay Lethal, I want you to get yourself a good night’s sleep the night before this show. I want you to come in well-rested and feeling like you’re at 110 percent. I want you to bring your “A” game, because after Best in the World when I do beat you again — and you best believe I will beat you again — there aren’t going to be any excuses. And then finally I can stop hearing about how you’re the greatest first-generation wrestler. So, Jay, bring your “A” game so I can shut your mouth once and for all.
ROH’s Best In The World pay-per-view takes place at the Lowell Memorial Auditorium on Friday, June 23 at 9:00 EST/6:00 PST! Tomorrow night, you can watch it live, right here on WrestleZone!
