Powerhouse Hobbs recently was on Chillin with Ice podcast, where he talked AEW, WWE, Chris Jericho and more.
Powerhouse Hobbs thinks AEW and WWE are in same level
“We are on the same level as them. We are their competitors, they are on national TV and we are on national TV. We go head-to-head, so we are right on them. We beat them in ratings at times. We are right there on their neck. There is two major companies in this business, and it’s WWE and AEW. So we are right there with them.”
“When people, ‘do you ever want to go to WWE?’ I tell people we are right there with them. So you are watching AEW or watching WWE or I think any wrestling fan should watch all wrestling. So it is you are getting all different flavors. We are right there on their neck.”
Hobbs on biggest challenge for him in wrestling
“If you don’t connect with the audience, you are not going to survive. Some people have that charisma and some don’t, some people have to learn it, some people don’t get it. So it’s connecting with the audience and finding the extension of your personality that you can be times a 100.”
