Cole Radrick on Facing Yoshihiko at GCW vs. DDT During The Collective

– During a recent interview with Fightful Overbooked, wrestler Cole Radrick discussed facing Yoshihiko, the inflatable sex doll wrestler from DDT, at GCW vs. DDT on March 31 during GCW The Collective. Below are some highlights:

Cole Radrick on facing Yoshihiko: “Basically, the whole Yoshihiko match…you’re wrestling a fucking doll. If we’re looking at it in the purest context. In the least amount of context, this doll is a legend in Japan, has had these cool and interesting matches with a whole bunch of people. Going into the weekend, I was like, ‘We’re going to be match three or four. We’re going to have eight to ten minutes and it is what it is.’ Show day comes and one of the referees comes up and is like, ‘you’re the main event. Have fun.’ We’re in California. There are some California delicacies that everyone likes to enjoy, and I may or may not have enjoyed a couple of them. I’m like, ‘Okay. Main event of DDT vs. GCW, Mania week, against Yoshihiko.’ I tried to pitch some ideas, didn’t get any feedback. Tried to see how they were feeling, got nothing. ‘Alright, guess we’re going to go out there and start shooting.’ Came up with some ideas and it played out.”

On the chair toss spot: “That was the most improvised spot I did that became my favorite part of the match because it became how many times I could chuck a chair and directly hit the doll in different fashions. … If that match goes wrong, there is only one person to blame.”
