Although Sonny Kiss might not be a part of AEW anymore, EC3 had a moment with Kiss when he first saw him on the independent wrestling scene. Here is what the former WWE star said about his first impression of Sonny:
"I think it was 2015 and I do this seminar in New York or New Jersey, and there's this person that's stood out like talented, charismatic, athletic, unique. Then I go and watch the show and all of the matches are 'blergh.' He's in the third match and the place is going crazy for him because he's charismatic, unique, athletic, and exuding his natural character. So he comes to the back and I go 'hey, after my match I'm going to start talking, just come out and then listen to me,' okay." [0:38-1:12]
Well, this sure is not the end of Sonny's career, considering his potential. Henceforth, Only time will tell what the future has in store for the former AEW star.
