Matt Taven Talks Jeff Cobb vs. Brody King Being On ROH Preshow

– Matt Taven was a recent guest on Wrestling INC’s WINCLY podcast. Highlights are below.

On Super Humman: “This is for all my Juggalos and Juggalettes. He’s the smartest worker of any of us. He only has to take one bump instead of a million of them and he gets a ton of views. I’m jealous of him,” said Taven before adding that he doesn’t think Super Humman can be in The Kingdom because he’s a Juggalo. I can’t wear obnoxiously, baggy jeans. I can’t not clean under my fingernails. These are things I can’t do so I can’t be with Juggalos.”

On Cobb vs. King Being On ROH Preshow: “I think it’s fantastic. It’s one of those things where I’m sure the preshow will get out there and be free to a bunch of people. Jeff Cobb and Brody King are two of the guys who have come into ROH in the last year or two and are unbelievable talents that people need to be watching,” said Taven. “If they’re gonna put a marquee match like that on the preshow to whet people’s appetites for the main event, me of course, then so be it. I think it’s a great move and is gonna be a match that puts on display ROH’s present and future.”

On Alex Shelley: “I think the world of Alex Shelley and is one of those people that preach to high heaven that he doesn’t get the respect and just do that he deserves for the influence he’s had on wrestling,” Taven said before adding that if you watched MCMG vs. The Bucks ten years ago then you see what you see today in tag wrestling. I hope to see more of Alex Shelley in ROH because not only is he a ROH original, but an innovator that’s still impressive to this day.”

On Fan Who Passed Out During Alex Shelley Match: “It’s always nice to see people having a good time but you gotta be smart about it. You gotta be sure that you don’t pass out until after the show is done. He had like two more matches left so he just mistimed his partying.”

On The Wrestling Boom: “The thing I hope for wrestling in general come October is just more growth. Wrestling is always the best when there’s good competition and people are succeeding. I’ve never understood when there’s a very internet thing where you have to choose sides. Why? Why not enjoy all of it and really embrace this boom in wrestling? I hope everyone in wrestling succeeds and fans appreciate all of this great wrestling that is in front of them. I hope that it does good things for not just the fans but also the wrestlers.
