Jay Lethal Comments On If He’d Join The Bullet Club, Talks His Black Machismo and More

Jay Lethal recently took part in an interview with Sports Illustrated to discussĀ  Ring of Honor, whether heā€™d be interested in joining The Bullet ClubĀ and his ā€œBlack Machismoā€ character. Below are the highlights, courtesy of WrestlingInc.

If heā€™d ever team up with the Bullet Club:

"If I have my way, no. But who knows what different opportunities will present themselves, but if I have my way, I would say no. I love the fact that there is always that person to rival and go against them. I love that stand, and I want to be the one standing against them. Every time youā€™re going against those guys, whether itā€™s the Bucks or Cody or any of them, itā€™s always something special. If I have my way, I want to go against them."

ROHā€™s roster revolving and how this title run differs from his first run:

"The same fears from my first title run are still there in my mind now. Even though weā€™ve lost some pieces of our puzzle, like Ring of Honor always does because itā€™s a great roster, and losing Roderick Strong was like losing a pivotal piece of the Ring of Honor puzzle, we have moved on and still strive to have the greatest roster. As the champion, I have the stress of following all of them, and that stress makes me a better wrestler.

It is a different character, and only my name is the same in this run. I had a different persona and a group following me around, and Iā€™m doing everything I can to make this run as good and as interesting as the run before. Itā€™s shaping up to be a good trip, especially when you put me in the ring with a guy like Jonathan Gresham, who is one of the best technically-sound wrestlers Iā€™ve ever seen, and getting the chance to wrestle the best high-flyerā€”Will Ospreayā€”in all of wrestling today."

Portraying Black Machismo at ā€œAll Inā€:

"There was a funny thing about the ā€˜All Inā€™ show and me doing the Machismo character. When you have a show that is loaded with the best talent from around the world, you know every match is potentially going to be the greatest match ever. Every wrestler is going to go out in front of a sold-out Sears Centre and be the greatest match youā€™ve ever seen.

I decided to bring something to the table that only I can bring and no one else can. I could go out there and have a great match, but hell, so could Kenny Omega, who is possibly the greatest wrestler in the world. So I tried hard to think of something only I could bring, and it was definitely the machismo. Flip was amazing. And when the ā€˜Pomp and Circumstanceā€™ music hit, I knew I made the right choice."
