Kyle Fletcher has had a very impressive year in AEW, but does it top what Cody Rhodes did during his time with the company?
AEW TNT Champion Kyle Fletcher was a recent guest on TMZ’s Inside The Ring. When asked about potentially passing Cody Rhodes’ record for TNT Title defenses later this weekend at Full Gear, Fletcher said he wants to be the greatest TNT Champion of all time and believes that right now he’s doing better than former champions like Rhodes and Miro.
“Especially a title like the TNT Championship. Which has had such a crazy lineage, the amount of people that have held it such like a high echelon, that you almost just by holding it feel like you have to live up to that,” Kyle Fletcher said. “I keep saying that I want to be the greatest TNT Champion of all time, and when I think about that, it’s like that means I have to be better than all these people that have held this belt before me.
“Proclaiming that I’m the greatest TNA Champion of all time, and surpassing Cody as well …it’s a weird sense of, like, imposter syndrome, a little bit to me. Cody Rhodes, currently, the number one star in probably all of wrestling right now, like the top dog. And to be like, Oh, I had a better championship race. Yeah, look at me.
“But it’s also very reassuring to me, like, oh, I mean, look at me. I’m doing better than Cody Rhodes, better than Miro, better than WWE. You know, it’s kind of a weird thing. It’s a weird feeling, but it also reassures me that I’m on the right path. I’m doing the right thing, you know, moving in the right direction.” [H/T: WrestlingNews.co]
