During a recent appearance on the “Gabby AF” podcast, TNA wrestler AJ Francis praised Penta’s debut on WWE RAW.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On Penta making his WWE debut: “It was cool. Seeing that was really dope. I actually met him for the first time two years ago at like a convention and he was really cool. Obviously I’m a fan, so to see him go out and have such a great match and then be able to … see, that’s the thing is that promo — he won a lot of people with that match, but that promo afterwards, like, you might have never seen Penta before in your life, but you see that and you’re like, ‘Oh, I want him to be successful.’ And that’s how you book a babyface. That is what a true essence of the babyface is. The match and then the promo afterwards, you’re like, ‘Okay, I want the best for this guy.’”
On Penta’s debut happening on Netflix being a big deal: “And then now, especially on Netflix, where they’re getting a lot of new viewers every single week, that matters.”
During a recent appearance on the “No-Contest Wrestling” podcast, WWE NXT World Champion Oba Femi discussed his Nigerian accent, noting that although it is exaggerated on TV, it reflects his usual way of speaking.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On his accent: “I did grow up 19 years in Nigeria, and I don’t think people fully understand that. This is my accent, like this is — yes, it’s like it’s played up on TV for sure, but this is how I talk.”
On how he’s able to switch his accent after moving to the US: “So, if I go to the store and I’m like ‘Hey man, can you put that thing in the bag?’ and I can do both [accents]. People think one is real, one is fake — no, like, both are me.”
