Matt Sydal On What Makes Him A Great Babyface

Matt Sydal has been through a number of trials and tribulations in his pro wrestling career. The former Evan Bourne recently sat down with Sportskeeda where he discussed several subjects concerning his veteran career.

He discussed a number of topics from Davey Richards’ exit from GFW to how special it was to tour India. He said India was a “magical experience” and wished Davey Richards the very best of luck in his future endeavors.

The high flyer also spoke about some wrestling philosophy as well. Sydal went into some depth about what he thinks the key is that makes him such a great babyface in the world of pro wrestling.

“Because the number 1 advantage I have, a lot of people when they wrestle, they play a character,” Matt Sydal said.

“They want to be something they’re not. I am real, I am genuine, I am ‘the authentic’ and I’m striving to be as authentic as I can possibly be, which is open, honest. Which means you can see me fall and you can see me get back up.”

“I think that’s why people get behind me” Sydal continued. “Because they see me get squashed and they see me get back up every week and they’ve seen me fall in my personal life and get back up and I keep showing up.”

“That kind of resiliency, that determination and focus, and unwillingness to quit in the face of life threatening danger, this is boldness, this is courage that I display and I encourage other people to act fearlessly, and act courageously. That’s why people can support me. I am the real deal! There’s no smokes and mirrors in my case.”

It might be his arrest in Japan, his high flying offense, or the fact he’s always looking to put smiles on fans’ faces. But Matt Sydal certainly continues to do his thing and he doesn’t show any signs of slowing down just yet.
