AEW star QT Marshall spoke in an interview with Wrestling Inc about the various wrestlers he trained during his time at the Monster Factory in New Jersey, which included Matt Riddle.
Here is what he had to say:
“He was a prodigy because he was a giant fan of pro wrestling which helps. He also wasn’t getting smashed in the face like he was in UFC so he was really easy to coach. He was a little knuckleheadish with some of the stuff he did back then but he’s a good kid. He’s not just a ‘yes man’ and if you’re a ‘yes man’ all the time, it’s great but you’re not happy. Then it will end up coming out in the end and you can’t have that happen.”
