Former WWE NXT Superstar Johnny Gargano hopes to bring back a bit of uncertainty when it comes to where he’ll end up next in the world of professional wrestling.
Johnny Gargano was a guest on Good Karma Wrestling to discuss a wide variety of subjects. When asked about what it felt like for him and his wife Candice LeRae to be in such demand as free agents right now, Gargano said that he’s happy to bring a little bit of uncertainty to the table when it comes to what they are going to do next.
“I’m on the record, I am a wrestling fan. I enjoyed wrestling a lot during the Attitude Era where the internet wasn’t as wise, there was a lot of uncertainty, and you never knew who was showing up where and when and what was going to happen,” Johnny Gargano said. “Anything I can do to bring a little bit of that uncertainty to the table and hopefully bring about a cool surprise for people one day, I am going to try to protect that as much as I can. I wouldn’t be where I am today if it wasn’t for wrestling fans. It’s scary. You have to think about it, it’s a scary thought process.
“I had this guaranteed contract with WWE I could take for a lot of money, and I could come back and keep doing what I’m doing. I just knew with the baby on the way, I didn’t want to have anyone else to be in control of my time because I’m really only going to get one shot at this, me and Candice are only planning on having one kid. I want to be there and try to experience everything that I can with Quill for his first year before I do anything else because I think I would regret if I missed his first words or if I missed his first steps if I was out wrestling in a town somewhere. I’m very lucky that fans do want to see me and it is scary to step away because you think you are going to be forgotten so it is a nice reminder sometimes, every time I trend on Twitter or my name pops up that I haven’t been forgotten yet.”
When asked what he has left to accomplish in professional wrestling, Gargano admitted that he wants to compete at WrestleMania and become the Intercontinental Champion.
“The obvious answer is I never got to wrestle at WrestleMania, that was always something on my bucket list and it still is on my bucket list,” Johnny Gargano said. “Still, something in the back of my mind that I haven’t done yet. Getting a chance to wrestle at a WrestleMania is something that I want to accomplish. But also, any of those titles over there, I know it’s a usual answer for a lot of guys of my size and from my era, but the Intercontinental title, especially the white strap Intercontinental title that I used to love, that is always something that has been in the back of my mind as that I would like to have one day.”
