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 versatility in professional wrestling and explained why it is the best asset in the world of pro wrestling.
Before joining WWE on a permanent basis in 2015, Johnny Gargano made a number of cameo appearances in the promotion and he was not under contract in WWE during the time. He was mostly an indie sensation and he won a lot of championships throughout the Indies.
Johnny Gargano Thinks Versatility Is The Best Asset
He signed a professional contract with WWE in 2015 for the first time and he started working on the NXT which was the development territory of the promotion. He became quite famous in the NXT as he won all the possible championships in the brand. In 2021 he was released from WWE but in 2022 he returned to the promotion again.
After making his return to WWE he started working on the main roster for the first time in his career. But unfortunately he could not maintain his main event status on the main roster as he became a lower mid card on Monday Night RAW. We hope he gets his main event status back soon.
Johnny Gargano who is also a former three times WWE NXT North American champion recently spoke to Busted Open Radio where he talked about versatility in professional wrestling and explain why it is the best asset in the world of pro wrestling. He said;
“For me, I feel like versatility is the best asset you can have in wrestling. I know some people see me and they just see, ‘It’s little Johnny Gargano, who’s a white meat babyface who can go out there and have a good match. But I’ve shown numerous times, even back in my days in NXT, I can do a lot of different things.
“I can do comedy, I can do the stuff with Dexter. I can do the stuff with The Way. I can do serious stuff with Tommaso [Ciampa], I can do goofy stuff. I feel like versatility, when it comes to any promoter or any booker, I feel like that is the best strength to have because you can fit into any role they want you to be in and make the most out of it.
“A lot, pretty much 100%. As you guys know, there are producers who have opinions and things like that, but I feel like we have such a great crop of producers, a great crop of people that are in the office right now that genuinely just understand to let the performers go out there and perform and do what they’re paid to do, and that’s get a reaction and also make the people feel something. Also, if say you have four minutes on Monday Night Raw, you fill those four minutes with the best content you possibly have. That is the job in itself.”
