WWE Raw star and a former WWE NXT champion Johnny Gargano who is also a former three times WWE NXT North American champion recently talked about the time he was given to do his stuff in WWE and explained he wanted to make the most out of the time he was given in WWE.
Johnny Gargano started his professional wrestling career at a very young age and he worked on the independent circuit for quite a long time on the early stage of his career. He worked on some of the biggest independent circuit promotions and one Championship from all over the indies throughout his career.
Johnny Gargano Wants To Get The Most Out Of The Time He Is Given
In 2015 he came to WWE and started working on the NXT which was the development territory of WWE. At first he teamed up with Tommaso Ciampa and together they were famously known as DIY. They had been a pretty famous Tag Team and they won the NXT Tag Team Championship one time. In 2017 both of them started working solo and both became quite successful in the NXT as singles wrestlers as well.
Gargano went on to win multiple championships in the NXT before coming to the main roster last year. But it is pretty unfortunate that he did not get a very high status in the main roster and he is mostly working as a lower mid card. But he is pretty talented and we believe soon he would be promoted as a future main event star.
Johnny Gargano who is also a former three times WWE NXT North American champion recently spoke to Busted Open Radio where he talked about the time he was given to do his stuff in WWE and explained he wanted to make the most out of the time he was given in WWE. He said;
“You know how things go, man. You make the most out of the time you’re given, you make the most out of your opportunities. I feel like I had a huge opportunity in the Elimination Chamber match, and I feel like I showed out in that one.
“I feel like I was able to get in there with a guy that I feel is probably the standard-bearer on our industry right now, Seth Rollins. I think he’s the tippy-top of the mountain, he’s where I want to be, and I hung toe to toe with him, and I showed the world that I can hang with him. So it’s one of those things where it’s all about time, it’s all about patience.
“I know a lot of people don’t want to be patient, they want it now. They want me to go out there and have 30-minute matches, 25-minute matches, do my TakeOver thing. It takes time, it takes equity. It takes getting this other audience that maybe doesn’t know about me, the casual fans we talk about all the time, in these buildings that, quite frankly, I haven’t been in before.
“A lot of these markets, I’ve never wrestled in, and they’re seeing me for the very first time. This whole past six months, I’ve wrestled in so many markets I’ve never been in before because… [in] NXT, they did the main markets, they did the hardcore wrestling towns. I do feel like it’s just time, it’s equity. As you know, it’s putting your time in, making the most out of the time you’re given, and that’s all you can do.”
