There’s part of Joe Gacy that misses death matches, but the NXT Superstar is in no hurry to return to a life of ultra-violent bouts.
Prior to arriving on WWE NXT TV in 2021, Gacy was part of CZW, where he is a three-time former World Heavyweight Champion.
Speaking on a recent edition of the “Out of Character” podcast, Gacy reflected on his CZW run and said WWE colleagues were shocked when they watched his matches. He added,
“Before I got to CZW I was a big CZW fan and growing up an ECW fan I was like, ‘Yeah, I want to go out there and I want to do this and this and prove that I belong in hardcore wrestling.’ So there was a point where I really wanted to go out there and try to do the most brutal stuff that I could. Now part of me is kind of happy I don’t do that anymore, but it was fun while I did it.
“I would say that if there was a time in your career that you’ve done that, there is maybe a little bit inside of you that does miss it. I don’t want to go back and do all the things I have done again, but I wouldn’t mind dabbling in some stuff again if the opportunity arose.”
Gacy and The Schism have been feuding as of late with The Creed Brothers, who will face the Dyad in a steel cage match next week.
