On a recent episode of Kerry Morton’s “The Family Business” podcast, current MLW wrestler Lance Anoa’i commented on his respect and history with independent wrestling legend Homicide.
Morton also shared his thoughts on the veteran competitor.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
Anoa’i on Homicide’s backstage reputation: “When I first started, man, I went into the ring with Homicide. I went into the ring with Eddie Kingston, my own uncle Afa Jr., Dan Maff, who is a monster up here in the Northeast. Just learning from them and then growing up, especially with Homicide — man, in the locker room, I always heard of Homicide’s stiffness. So, I was like, Man, when I first had to get into the ring with him, I was kind of worried, but man, I was like, ‘Man, alright, here we go. I’m going to throw his shots back at him,’ but he’s cool to be in the ring with and smooth. He may look stiff, but it’s nothing but love and respect for both sides.”
Morton on Homicide’s ability in the ring: “That’s exactly it. I just finished up — NWA Hard Times 3 in Chalmette, Louisiana, I happened to beat Homicide for the NWA World Junior Heavyweight Championship, and I’m telling you, I went to war with Homicide there. I got the hell beat out of me, but you know what? It was an experience I hope to never forget, that’s for sure.”
