Ring Of Honor (ROH) star Flip Gordon was recently interviewed by Wrestling Epicenter to talk about several professional wrestling topics. Gordon first talked about his quick ascension within ROH, traveling more and getting into the ring with some of the best in the world:
“It has been a fun journey,” he said. “I wanted as much as I could and that is kind of what I did very early on. I started just wrestling in the Northeast. I’ve always wanted to travel more, I always wanted to go further, I always wanted to wrestle new people. I think while doing that, I got to get into the ring with a lot of good guys probably before I should have had the chance to be in the ring with them. But, I did! I was able to learn at a very fast rate and I think that is what caught Ring of Honor’s attention.”
ROH/NJPW Supercard Of Honor
Gordon also offered his thoughts on ROH and New Japan Pro Wrestling’s (NJPW) Supercard Of Honor selling out Madison Square Garden. He expressed his excitement for the professional wrestling milestone, as MSG is usually a WWE-dominated venue:
“It is just insane! Not just from a wrestling standpoint but from an entertainer’s standpoint! Anybody from basketball to comedy to music to wrestling to theater, they want to perform in Madison Square Garden!
“That is the World’s Most Famous Arena! Like you said, it is the Mecca! That is a dream of mine coming true. I can’t wait! I wish it was April already! (laughs)
“For Ring of Honor and New Japan Pro Wrestling to put on a co-show, the G1 Supercard, and to sell it out that quick is a testament to how popular wrestling is right now and how much of a variety there is. Wrestling fans want something different.
“You can have a WWE show across town and have a non-WWE show sell out in the same city! There’s such a variety and it is cool to see how much wrestling is thriving right now!”
Goals With ROH
As far as his future goals with ROH, Gordon wants to get his beef with Bully Ray out of the way. He’s then eying a run with the ROH TV Title:
“Well, I want to get this thing with Bully Ray squashed, get that out of the way. And then, you know, I’ve been with Ring of Honor for over a year now, I have just re-signed… Maybe it is time for a TV title run?”
