The Grizzled Young Veterans are sick and tired of being called the “British FTR.”
In a “Digital Exclusive,” Zack Gibson and James Drake discussed the comparisons to Cash Wheeler and Dax Harwood they often receive.
Gibson said, “Are you messing, lad? Are you messing? That we’ll never be FTR? You know, for 18 years we have done this job. And when we started collecting titles around Europe, when we won titles in Asia, when we broke into America, do you know what people said? They said, ‘These guys are great! Just like a British FTR.’”
He continued, “Do you know what that’s like? You want to come and stick that camera in my face and tell me what the FTR have got to say about us? Are you messing? Do you know what it’s like for your entire life’s work to culminate in comparison? They are the very reason why I hate this job that I once loved. I hate it!”
James Drake added, “FTR, it’s as simple as this. When we’re done with you, they’re gonna look at you and say ‘Wow, just like an American Grizzled Young Veterans.”
