Current PROGRESS World Champion Travis Banks talked with Daily Star Online for an interview, here are some highlights:
Travis Banks on being PROGRESS Champ and wrestling in the WWE:
“If you told me 3 years ago when I first got to the UK that not only would I be PROGRESS champion, wrestling for the WWE and at the Royal Albert Hall I would have called you crazy. I couldn’t have imagined an opportunity like that was in front of me. So I always try and keep that mentality about me and keep myself grounded. However being PROGRESS champion and reaching the finals in a WWE tournament also brings a feeling of pride and joy. Moments and championships like this is what I have been working towards for ten years.”
On PROGRESS getting popularity on UK wrestling scene:
“PROGRESS, along with the talent on the shows, have brought many eyes to British wrestling and put a magnifying glass on the amount of talent the scene here has. As much as I appreciate the places that gave me my start in New Zealand there just wasn’t enough of what I wanted there on those scenes.”
