Johnny Gargano is arguably having the best year of his career thus far, and is perhaps the hottest babyface in all of wrestling and continues to churn out fantastic matches.
However, is Johnny Wrestling concerned about what might happen to him on the main roster?
WSVN-TV Entertainment Reporter Chris Van Vliet recently interviewed the NXT star and here are the highlights:
Whether he is concerned tthat his character will be watered down when he gets called up the main roster:
"People are really worried about that. I get that on Twitter a lot that people like 'I don't want to see Johnny go to the main roster because he's going to get messed up'. Look, I'm just me. I'm just Johnny Gargano. I'm the same Johnny Gargano I always have been so if you see anything I've done in NXT, you're seeing the real me and they've treated me very good so I have no worries about where we're going in the future."
Being compared to Daniel Bryan:
"I get a lot of comparisons to Daniel Bryan and trust me, I am flattered by all of them because we mentioned New Orleans and WrestleMania, I watched it at home and watched Daniel Bryan in the main event of WrestleMania achieve his dreams. I've said this numerous times, I've been in the ring with Daniel Bryan and he's the best wrestler in the world, bar none. So to be able to see him come back this year, and I know he recently said in an interview that he wanted me to lose so he could steal me to go on Smackdown Live which I very much appreciate. I'm going to give him a raincheck on that one because I still have a couple of things I want to accomplish in NXT."
How Johnny Manziel inspired his nickname "Johnny Wrestling":
"It was just a tweet that I sent out one day when Johnny Manziel was still in college and the Johnny Football thing was starting to catch fire. I just randomly said, if he can be Johnny Football why can't I be Johnny Wrestling? And then like the next weekend at shows I started getting Johnny Wrestling chants and the weekend after that I got Johnny Wrestling chants and they kept getting bigger and bigger. And as soon as the NXT thing happened, it blew up. It was inspired off Johnny Manziel because I am a Cleveland Browns fan so I was pumped about Manziel Mania coming to town but now it's taken on a life of its own and people don't even make that correlation anymore."
