Matt Taven sat down with ProWrestling.com to expand on his thoughts about competing at Madison Square Garden for the Ring of Honor World Championship. “It’s definitely got a fond place in my heart, and is somewhere that I’ve always wanted to be. Just to go to Madison Square Garden is special, and here I am going for the Ring of Honor world title.”
Taven talked about growing up watching shows at the Garden. “I was a kid who barely knew what was going on in 1991, but I can remember begging my parents to order SummerSlam. I remember watching it and Bret Hart won the Intercontinental title in Madison Square Garden over Mr. Perfect, and it kind of sealed my fandom as a Bret Hart guy from there on out.” He also talked about watching the legendary basketball games between the Bulls and Knicks in the same arena. “Obviously the New York and Boston rivalry in general. Any time the Celtics are down there, you’re always looking up at that roof and seeing that lighting at MSG.”
Taven will face Jay Lethal and Marty Scrull for ROH’s most coveted prize in a ladder match at G1 Supercard.
