Rich Swann Wants A “Very Violent Match” At Bound For Glory

Rich Swann recently sat down with PWInsider to discuss his upcoming match with Eric Young at Bound for Glory. He also discussed his recent retirement angle, and more.

Swann gave his thoughts on Bound for Glory,

“I feel like nothing ever happened. I feel great and I feel like I’m ready to unleash some great athleticism for some people to see. You know it’s….I can’t even find the words to say it because I know how much of a big deal it is to be in the main event, but not only that, with something so personal, something so, like…the story – me and Eric, the fact that we’re getting this chance to showcase our talents, to showcase that we’re more than the opportunities that have been afforded to us and to have that and to come back from that injury that could have possibly not only ended my career but changed my life for the better part, you know? I could have ended up walking with a limp for the rest of my life but the hard work and the dedication and the thought of, you know, “I really want to make it in this business,” has got me there, and now I’m in the main event and there’s like…I’m just overjoyed, you know what I mean? And now since the days are coming close, now it’s starting to get even more like, “Aw come on, come on, October 24th, let’s get this, let’s get this in right now.” I’m so anxious, I’m ready, I’m excited, there’s just so many emotions and feelings that are just going through my body.”

Swann then discussed his retirement angle,

“So that’s exactly what was going through my mind, that’s the one way that you become a star in this business is if you can prove that you can talk people into those seats and with something like that, with something…saying that you’re going to be retiring, you have to put every single real emotion that you have into that and it was unfortunate but I’ve had those times in my career to where I was really about to be done, so I transferred that emotion into that promo and I wanted people to feel that and by the looks of it, and your opinion, it looks like I reached a couple of people and they felt it, so I think I did my job on that and I’m going to be looking to trying to cut more promos like that as much as I can to show people I am a complete package.”

Swann then discussed how wrestling saved his life,

“I don’t think that my life would be in a good place if I didn’t have professional wrestling. Coming from the areas that I’ve come from and coming from the trials and tribulations that I’ve dealt with, it’s important that I’ve found something that was productive and something that would not make me a product of my environment, if you will. That’s the one reason why I share my story so much is because anybody that has ever felt like I have or been in my shoes, especially at a young age, I want them to know that you don’t have to take the low road, you can find whatever it is in your life – it doesn’t have to be professional wrestling, it can be whatever you find that just inspires you, lifts you up and you don’t have to be a product of your environment and you can become more and rise up.”
