Rikishi has named Steve Austin as his favorite opponent of all-time.
During a recent appearance at Comic-Con Northern Ireland, the WWE Hall of Famer explained why the Rattlesnake was his favorite opponent. He said,
“I’d have to say Stone Cold Steve Austin for me, you know back in the day to be able to give an opportunity again to work with some of the greats in the business was was a learning lesson for me. Being a guy that was a mid-carder for the most of his career and finally got that chance to move up to the next level.”
He continued, “It was guys like that because it was steady growing to be able to find that niche … Mick, Stone Cold, The Rock, Undertaker, guys like Triple H and so forth and these were the guys for me that I kind of picked up my game to understand what that level is and I’m forever grateful.”
Ethan Page will be defending his NXT World Championship against Trick Williams on next week’s premiere episode of WWE NXT on The CW Network, and he recently appeared on the “Busted Open Radio” podcast to explain why he’s confident he’ll retain. He said,
“I mean, I’m Ethan Page. No one else can walk in a room and people will be like, oh, there’s another one of those because no one else is like me and I think that also came with maturity, too, was just being proud of being me and bringing to the table what I specifically know that I am talented at and only focusing on that instead of trying to check boxes off that other people might be checking off in their careers.”
He continued, “I realize I bring something unique that only Ethan Page or All Ego can bring to the table so that’s what I want to be delivering on a weekly basis and that definitely makes me different than everybody else because there’s never been an All Ego Ethan Page before.”
