In what was revealed to be the final episode of the FTR With Dax podcast, All Elite Wrestling’s Dax Harwood discussed why the decision was made to end the podcast.
“When we started this podcast, we just wanted to do good wrestling, I was looking forward to and I still do and did look forward to bringing my thoughts on psychology, in-ring action, what I thought was good wrestling, my love for Bret Hart and break down some of the things that we had done in our career, and some of our biggest moments, I knew that we would probably ruffle a few feathers, I know that I can.
The only thing I should apologize for, is how the journalists and the news sites took a section of something I said and made it seem like I was such a bad human being. I want to apologize to, not only my fans, but I want to apologize to the people who already didn’t like me and fans of, for example, The Young Bucks, fans of Kenny Omega, fans of MJF or anybody else who I may have upset, I want to apologize to them, because I never wanted you to hate me so much that you would say some of the things that you said to me.
Going into this podcast, I never thought that would happen, I hate that that happened, I thought I was way more mentally tough than I am, but I admit that I’m not, I don’t think I can handle some of the things that were said and I also don’t want my daughter to read some of the things that were said to me. Ultimately, we all wanted to do good for wrestling and I don’t think, as much as we tried, the podcast wasn’t reflecting that.”
