The Grizzled Young Veterans speak on wrestli♌ng all over the world.
James Drake and Zack Gibson of The Grizzled Young Veterans have been in the business for 20 years now, and have branched out into not only wrestling, but coaching and running events themselves. Even with the added worklo🍒ad however, the pair don't expect to slow down any time soon.
While , the pair were as🐠ked about competing in the likes of AEW and TNA since exiting WWE, with James D🌞rake noting his belief that the team will be in the industry for the rest of their lives.
"I think we're gonna be in the wrestling business for the rest of our lives because we've committed 20 years into it so far, but physically, you know that is a ticking clock, it's running down, you know as it respects to other careers," Drake said. "So whilst we're young, whilst we're in a situation where we could do it, we wanted to really bet on ourselves and experience the whole world of wrestling, not just WWE."
Zack would then chime in, jokingly stating 𒆙that 'everything is coming up Milhouse' for the🦩 British tag team.
"The list of companies that you said there, Ring of Honor, AEW, TNA, New Japan, that's all in the space of 12 months and we've only been afforded that opportunity because we did say the time's now, let's go, and then the proof's in the pudding, our stock which was the thing we were most concerned with, is back on the rise, going in that direction again, so it's all coming up Milhouse."
The Grizzled Young Veterans lost thei💟r NJPW Strong Openweight Tag Team Titles to West Coast Wrecking Crew (Jorel Nelson & Royce Isaacs) at NJPW Strong Style Evolved on S🧜unday.
