On the latest “FTR” podcast, Dax Harwood revealed that he and Cash Wheeler have been granted time off by Tony Khan.
Dax said, “I talked to Cash and I asked him if he would be comfortable with me talking about this on my podcast, and he said, ‘Yes, absolutely.’ So we dropped the Ring of Honor World Tag Team Championships to the Briscoes. We dropped the AAA Tag Team Championships to Dralistico and Dragon Lee. We dropped the IWGP Tag Team Championships to Goto and Yoshi-Hashi. With that is a new slate for 2023.”
“I’ve also got the blessing of Tony Khan to talk about this and make a statement about this. Tony has been nothing but top notch to me and Dan since day one. There are things that we haven’t agreed on, as any boss and any employee, and even any friend. There are times that I felt the boat was missed on opportunities for us. There were times that I was super happy with everything we were doing.”
“But there has come a time where we’re on the tail end of our career, okay. I mean, I’m 38 years old. I talked last week about how hard it is for me to play with my daughter and things like that. We’re on the tail end of our career now. So I think right now, this point in our career, is the most important time in our career. I mean that monetarily. I mean that creatively. I mean that personally. It is the most important time of our career. With that being said, we have asked and been granted the next few months off of television so we can sit back, reflect, decide, let our bodies heal, and figure out what we are going to do for the next few years because whatever we decide to do next will be the absolute last thing we do, period, as far as wrestling.”
“I don’t see myself after I’m done with whatever we’re going to decide next, I don’t see myself in five years going on the Independents and in wrestling independents. I don’t see myself working in five years on a Japan tour, or Mexico tour, or traveling around the world and wrestling all over places. That’s why these next few months are the most important few months for us.”
“April, by April, at least, at most, we will have an answer. But now, again, I have to take in my health. I have to take in my family. I have to take in my creativity. I have to take in my personal life, all into consideration about what we’re going to do next. I know what I want to do, but whatever we do, I just want to be respected. We, I feel, have done something so special in 2022 and most of that is in part to the fans. I think we deserve to continue to build on our legacy for ourselves. But also, we owe it to the fans to build on that legacy because they made us this past year.”
“So that’s my news is we’re going to be away for a little while. Not sure exactly how long we’ll be away. It may be all the way up until the end of our contract. I don’t know yet.”
Dax mentioned his and Cash’s contracts are up in April.
“I mean, another thing too, I’ll put this out there. We’re looking into buildings for a pro wrestling school as well. That’s one of our things we want to open up. We also have ideas for more real estate together and also for a future coffee shop. So there’s a lot of things we’re going to be talking about for the next few months. But at the top of that list is our future. I don’t know how long this is going to be, but it will have to be before the beginning of April.”
