Titus talked about facing his trainer, Austin Aries, in a NWA Jr. Hvt. Championship qualifying match on Dec. 4.<\/p>\n<p>Titus called Aries his number 1 dream opponent when talking about facing him at the NWA Hard Times 2 PPV. \u201cYou know Sean if you were to say, \u2018Hey Rhett,I\u2019m running a wrestling show. We have an unlimited amount of money. You can pick anyone you want to wrestler and we\u2019ll make it happen,'&#8221; said Titus.\u00a0 &#8220;I can tell that my number 1 dream match is to wrestle Austin Aries. He is my trainer. He is the guy that taught me how to lock up, how to hit the ropes, how to bump, how to put on a headlock,&#8230;the whole nine yards. I got to tag team with him plenty of times and I got to six man tag team with him as well and he even managed me on a bunch of matches as well. Even though that was like a second form of training for me, there\u2019s nothing like going up against your mentor one on one.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Titus also told PWTorch columnist Sean Radican that he&#8217;s more prepared to face Aries now than he would have been five years ago because of the experience he&#8217;s gained.&#8221;I\u2019ve been doing this for 15 years now,&#8221; said Titus. &#8220;If you say like five years ago, I don\u2019t know if I would have been ready for this match. I wouldn\u2019t be so nervous wrestling my training because a lot comes with that because you want to impress him and you want to impress a lot of other people, but now I\u2019m more than ready. I\u2019m extremely confident heading into this match against Austin Aries. I\u2019ve learned so many things from him and at the NWA Hard Times 2 PPV, I just may teach him a thing or two.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>During his VIP exclusive interview, Titus also discussed how he got the news that ROH was going on Hiatus, his thoughts on what Final Battle 2021 is going to be like emotionally, wrestling in Beyond Wrestling and more.<\/p>\n<p>You can watch the NWA Hard Times 2 PPV on Fite.tv on Dec. 4.<\/p>\n<p>You can watch the ROH Final Battle 2021 PPV on Fite.tv on Dec. 11.<\/p>\n<p>Contact Sean at pwtorchsean@gmail.com.
