Rich Swann Names Some of His Favorite Opponents, Talks Weight Classes in Wrestling, More

– Rich Swann spoke with Don’t Try This At Home Radio and discussed the idea of weight classes in wrestling and more. Highlights are below, per WZ:

On his favorite opponents: “It varies. Right now, I’d say Neville for one, and I got to give it to Teddy Hart. He’s one of the most electric guys. You can’t stop him no matter what anyone says about him.”

On whether their should be weight classes in wrestling: “I know people don’t want to compare UFC to professional wrestling, but there are people who are featherweights that are selling pay-per-views. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with a branded division like that. What makes our business so unique is that if a cruiserweight and a heavyweight get into the ring, styles like Rey Mysterio, Jericho, Guventud, Eddie, are able to jump from that label from cruiserweight into a heavyweight. It’s [a good starting platform].”

On which black wrestlers he thinks will be the next heavyweight champions on a worldwide level: “We already got Jay Lethal right now. Ring of Honor isn’t an independent promotion. In WWE, maybe someone like Big E or Kofi would be the best. Not only that, Bobby Lashley is the dude. On Impact, Moose.”
