During an interview on Insight with Chris Van Vliet, Kyle Fletcher revealed that John Cena, The Miz, Roman Reigns were some of his inspirations for his promos. The AEW star claimed that he grew up watching The Miz.
“This always gets a bit of a laugh. Growing up, I’m a little bit younger than a lot of wrestling fans. One of the people who first drew me with their promos was The Miz. A lot of people have things to say about him now, but I still think he’s one of the best. I think I’ve always thought that. That’s always how it happens as well. It’s like, when they’re on the way out, it’s like, oh yeah, you know what? He’s pretty good. But I was 12 years old in 2011 going, This is the best. ‘I’m awesome!’ So, yeah, that was probably my first one,” Fletcher said.
The former TNT Champion also praised Cena’s ability to get people watching on their television screen through his promos and also named Reigns as one of the best talkers in the business today.
He added: “I think Cena is far and away the best promo guy I’ve ever seen. The stuff in his final run, there have been a couple where I’ve just been sitting there glued to the screen like how is this guy just so amazing at what he does? Roman, obviously, now,”
