Karl Anderson Describes AJ Styles Reaction To Drinking Beer
The Good Brothers (Doc Gallows and Karl Anderson) joined SiriusXM's Busted Open Radio for an hour-long discussion.
Karl Anderson reflected on the night they were the headline dark match at Madison Square Garden with WWE in September 2019. After the bout, there was an in-ring segment involving "Stone Cold" Steve Austin and AJ Styles, which resulted in Styles asking Anderson if he should drink the beer handed to him.
"When we got to do The Garden and the dark main event — this is a good story," Anderson said. "We're in there with 'Stone Cold; Steve Austin, me, Gallows, and AJ [Styles]. 'Stone Cold' hands AJ a beer. AJ doesn't drink, and AJ looks at us and AJ goes, 'shall I drink this?' and I go, 'yeah, just have a sip.' He takes the sip, he takes the Stunner, and people react. We get to the back and he looks at us and he goes, 'you guys lied to me. That is the worst thing I've ever tasted in my life! How do y'all drink those things?'"
Luke Gallows discussed the Boneyard Match between AJ Styles and The Undertaker at WrestleMania 36. Gallows noted The Deadman cut open his arm when smashing the window of the hearse. It resulted in filming being stopped every few minutes to attend to the wound.
"I remember at the time, I remember us saying – because AJ was our best buddy, like, it's hard not to be in a stadium with a match like that," Gallows said. "They wanted that. They deserved 80,000 people and they didn't have it. So everyone made the best of a rotten situation and the match was cool as sh*t, I thought.
"You talk about an old-school badass dude too at the very beginning of that, because it took all night to shoot it. He punches the window out of the hearse, right? And his arm is bleeding profusely. You can see tendons. A lot of people – Karl would have quit. I mean every fifteen minutes we would stop, ice, towel, hold it on to get the bleeding to stop. Alright, let's start going. For 8-9 hours just bleeding."
