On the latest “FTR with Dax” podcast, Dax Harwood and Matt Koon talked about this past Saturday’s WWE Elimination Chamber PLE.
Dax talked about training with Edge and the use of the Shatter Machine during the Elimination Chamber show:
“Adam has been off for a little while and he just asked me if I would, you know, work with him and help him get back into ring shape, so I did. Those two (Edge and Beth Phoenix) are Hall of Fame talents. I am just lucky that they respect me and Cash enough that they wanted to pay homage to us using that move (The Shatter Machine).”
Dax continued, “I don’t want to give the wrong impression to fans when I say this, especially with our contracts coming up in April, but hearing the name Shatter Machine, my wife, like when I watched it, and saw it for the first time, the Shatter Machine and those guys hit it. You heard Michael Cole call it. I was watching on my phone and I rewound it. My wife just started filming me. I didn’t know she was filming me, but I said to her, ‘Oh man. I’m So emotional right now.’ She said, ‘Why are you so emotional? Because they did your finishing move?’ I said, ‘Well, yeah, that’s very respectful, but I’m more emotional that they called it the Shatter Machine because that’s the name that I came up with.’”
Dax continued, “It was emotional to me that we have made a little, small impact on the business that I have loved and cherished and admired for my whole existence, right? We’ve made this little bit of impact where we came up with a move, we named a move, and they’re still calling it that move. That to me is so humbling. We are watching it and hearing it still called the Shatter Machine really made me feel. I’m very lucky that those guys respect us enough to do it. I’m also lucky that that company respects us enough to still call it that because they could have called it whatever they wanted to.”
