Daniel Garcia Wants to Cross Paths With Gabe Kidd

– During a recent interview with the In the Kliq podcast, AEW TNT Champion Daniel Garcia discussed wrestlers he’d like to face, and he named Gabe Kidd of NJPW as a talent he wants to cross paths with at some point. Below are some highlights (via Fightful):

Daniel Garcia on people he wants to face: “I’ve never wrestled Samoa Joe. Me and Samoa Joe have never done anything together. Me and Takeshita have never wrestled in the AEW ring. Well, we did like a tag team match, but we never had a singles match.”

On wanting a matchup with NJPW’s Gabe Kidd: “As far as New Japan goes, Gabe Kidd is somebody who I would just love to hit in the face. He’s somebody who, I think, a lot of people could kind of compare us; we’re both bald, brash young men. Yeah, and he’s somebody who I have history with as well; we’ve never touched in the wrestling ring. If you go back, you can find the tweets, you can find the videos of us going at each other.”

On hoping to cross paths with Kidd at some point: “He’s somebody who is having a career year right now. He had the match with Kenny [Omega] at the Dome. I’m somebody who’s having a career year as well. I have the TNT Title. I’m a champion of a network. I’m the face of a network, and he’s becoming the face of a company. Gabe Kid is becoming a legitimate face of a company. He’s been on Collision the past couple of weeks. So, hopefully, we can cross paths, I can hit him in his loud British mouth, and we can see what happens.”

Garcia recently faced Adam Cole last Saturday at AEW Collision in Oakland. The match was ruled a no contest.
