Kyle Fletcher says he would not be where he is today without Mark Davis.
Prior to beginning his singles run in All Elite Wrestling in the past couple of years, Fletcher had previously teamed with Mark Davis as Aussie Open for around a decade – something which has left a lasting impression on Fletcher’s in ring career.
While speaking to Forbes in a new interview ahead of AEW All Out, Fletcher noted that he would not be where he is today without Mark Davis.
“I was 18 years old when we started teaming. I didn’t know who I was as a person yet, let alone a wrestler, so having my best friend there with me for all that stuff, it was so helpful in many ways. I’m not sure if I would have had the same success that I did by myself at that time, and without a doubt, I would not be where I am today without him. He’s meant so much to me. And then there are all the injuries he’s suffered. As a friend, seeing it is very hard. It’s difficult because I want the success that I’ve had for him. I care so deeply about him, so I want him to experience that. But from speaking to him, he kind of sees my successes as his successes in a way which is really cool, which makes me feel good about it, that I can almost do this thing for both of us. That’s not to say he won’t come back and absolutely kill it when he’s back from his injuries. It’s cool, though, that I can take a part of him with me into everything I do. I wouldn’t be the wrestler I am today without him, so hopefully that can show as well.”
Davis last wrestled for AEW back in March of this year.
Fletcher previously commented on Davis’ injuries last month. You can read more about that here.
