Ring Of Honor Pure Champion Wheeler Yuta recently spoke with the DEFYANT ONES podcast, for an in-depth interview covering all things pro wrestling.
During the chat, Yuta explained how a 2022 AEW Dark: Elevation match with Penta El Zero Miedo boosted his confidence level.
Featured below are the highlights from the interview.
On the match with Penta El Zero Miedo:
“I’m trying to think of some of the earlier matches but kind of more fresh in my mind, I think about AEW stuff,” Yuta said (per Fightful). “Like I had this match with Penta when I was still with the Best Friends before all of the Blackpool Combat Club stuff and that was really the first time that I’d say I felt comfortable like in AEW. Like, okay, this is what I was doing on the independents, these are the kind of matches that I can have.”
On the months following the match:
“Then that sort of snowballed, that was I think a month or two before the Blackpool Combat Club stuff started to roll, so that was a really good confidence booster for me. From then on, it just kind of snowballed and I got to have some really good matches with some really good people.”
Yuta is a two-time ROH Pure Champion.
