In a recent appearance on the “Power Alphas” podcast, Dax Harwood of FTR discussed his previous worries about prioritizing wrestling over his family when he first joined WWE as a part of the NXT roster.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On his passion for wrestling and fearing it would take over his life: “The love and the passion and the respect I have for wrestling was a double-edged sword for me coming up in NXT because…I felt that everyone had to love it and had to immerse themselves and much as I did. Thinking back now this was 12 years ago, or 10 years ago, thinking back I think was diving in too much, or I was diving in too deep into wrestling, and I’d let it take over my life.”
On sometimes prioritizing wrestling ahead of his family: “I feel like sometime I was putting wrestling on a pedestal above her and God, and it wasn’t fair to me, it wasn’t fair to her, but it also wasn’t fair to my co-workers and even my coaches.”
