Dax Harwood’s new podcast “FTR with Dax” is just one episode old, yet has provided fascinating insight on various topics.
Harwood spoke in-depth about CM Punk in the show’s first edition, which led to an intriguing story about former AEW star Bobby Fish.
Dax Harwood Talks His Backstage Altercation With Bobby Fish In AEW
In August, Bobby Fish revealed on his “Undisputed” podcast that he “got into it” with Harwood after a match on Dynamite. When asked about this, Dax Harwood provided further context on what went down.
“I was never going to let this be known, but Bobby did an interview about it, and that’s okay. He and I get along great. Before this and after this, we got along great. We talk about families, his marriage, real estate investments, we get along great. I preface that before anybody finds a headline.”
“There was an issue he and I had on live TV where I felt he was taking advantage of me and things got very very very heated on stage and I accidentally, well, not accidentally, I punched Kyle (O’Reilly) because I thought Kyle was getting involved as well.”
“We got to the back, we had to be separated, but 30 minutes later, we apologised, we hugged, things were good.”
Dax Harwood also contextualised Bobby Fish’s apparent real-life feud with CM Punk. Fish and Punk had a match on the October 27th, 2021, edition of AEW Dynamite. The match would end with CM Punk’s “Go To Sleep” finish, but Bobby Fish would awkwardly kick out immediately after the three-count, which is seen as disrespectful in wrestling circles.
“As far as the kickout goes, I have taken many pins in my career, and I have got the squeeze, and the squeeze, to me, means ‘thank you.’ That’s what I think and that’s what I was taught. Maybe Bobby was taught differently, I don’t know. Those are my feelings on Bobby. great guy to me, we get along personally, we had a little flare up where we threw hands, got over it like men do, and moved on.”
Recently, Dave Meltzer has reported that some in AEW are unhappy with Dax Harwood’s comments on his podcast.
