Kyle Fletcher names The Miz as one of his inspirations for promos

During an interview with Chris Van Vliet, AEW star Kyle Fletcher was asked about his inspirations for promos…

“This always gets a bit of a laugh. Growing up, I’m a little bit younger than a lot of wrestling fans. One of the people who first drew me with their promos was The Miz. A lot of people have things to say about him now, but I still think he’s one of the best. I think I’ve always thought that. That’s always how it happens as well. It’s like, when they’re on the way out, it’s like, oh yeah, you know what? He’s pretty good. But I was 12 years old in 2011 going, This is the best. ‘I’m awesome!’ So, yeah, that was probably my first one.

I think [John] Cena is far and away the best promo guy I’ve ever seen. The stuff in his final run, there have been a couple where I’ve just been sitting there glued to the screen like how is this guy just so amazing at what he does? Roman [Reigns], obviously, now. Then there’s Hangman, I think is one of the best guys on the mic. [Samoa] Joe, every time he’s on the mic, I’m so drawn into him. MJF, as well. Those are kind of probably where I draw the most inspiration from. I’d say those guys.” (quote courtesy of ChrisVanVliet.com)
