Juice Robinson recently did an interview with Uproxx where he talked about his time working with WWE in NXT, who he thinks would be a good fit in NJPW, and more. Here are a few highlights from the interview:
Juice Robinson on working in NXT:
When I was in NXT, I didn’t really wrestle that much. They don’t really wrestle that much there, maybe a couple times a week. I think my first four, five months in New Japan I’d already wrestled more than I ever had in my career… I hadn’t done too many ten-man tags or eight-man tags, six-man tags.
On changing his in-ring style in NJPW:
I think that it just became a little more physical. I didn’t consciously do it. I just played along. Just whatever was happening to me I just gave back. It didn’t take very long, two or three weeks, to be pretty much how I am right now… I’ve never been shy to lay it in… I think that’s better than some of the stuff you see in other companies… I like seeing sweat fly and spit fly… I think it’s good for the business.
On who he thinks would be good fits for NJPW from WWE:
In WWE there’s a lot of guys. I always think Cesaro would be just so good in New Japan… I think Cesaro, Luke Harper, Jason Jordan – I think those guys would be great. Obviously, the Club. I mean, they were already here, so, yeah, they would do good. And then on the indies, nothing’s coming off the top of my head. There are guys, but… My friends who are flyers, well, we have Ospreay. Who can do more tricks than him? He’s the best in the world at that. We got Lance Archer, he’s a real good big man. Fale, he’s a great big man, so it’s kind of full over here.
