– Lee Moriarty QUOTES from his Unrestricted podcast interview
On wrestling CM Punk on AEW DYNAMITE:
“That time last year, even this time last year, CM Punk was not in wrestling. He was gone. So the idea that I wrestled his eighth match back in professional wrestling is very surreal and a very cool moment.”
On wrestling Bryan Danielson on AEW DYNAMITE:
“It was everything I had hoped for and expected. I still have bruises on my body from the match, and I mean I’m cool with it just because how much fun it is.”
