Here are some highlights:
His time in WWE:
“Obviously the most noticeable difference between working
with WWE and on the independents is the financial security
the WWE offers. I’m grateful for all of my time there.
Whether as a wrestler, manager or writer. All 3 roles
developed my understanding of the industry and moulded me
into the person that I am today. With regards best minds, I
don’t want to start and then feel like I’ve missed someone
out. As far as talent that I’ve shared the ring with, the
top talent on the U.K. scene right now are every bit as good
as many of the people you see on your televisions on a
weekly basis.”
His PROGRESS World Title shot:
“I don’t want too much to be made of the fact that I never
lost the championship because I got my opportunity to regain
the title in Cardiff in 2021 against Spike and I lost. This
run at progress since returning from retirement in 2023 has
been about proving to myself that I still have something to
offer. Luke Jacobs is the ultimate litmus test in British
Independent Wrestling in 2024.”
Coming out of retirement and his ambitions:
"I don’t really have any ambitions left. Last time I retired
it was because I wasn’t allowed to wrestle and write at the
same time so I feel like I didn’t leave on my own terms.
These last 10 months have really been about addressing that
and if I stopped tomorrow I feel like I would’ve
accomplished that goal."
Dennis also discussed British wrestling's return to a "boom
period," who he'd like to get in the ring with, and more.
