During an appearance on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.postwrestling.com\/2023\/02\/24\/wrestlemania-week-schedule-match-listings\/\">Comedy Store Wrestling<\/a>, Barnett spoke in detail about future Bloodsport shows and who he&#8217;d like to see compete.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Yeah, I want Shayna Baszler,&#8221; Barnett said. &#8220;100 percent. If there was anywhere else that was really meant for her, it\u2019s this. As much as I have good relationships with the people in WWE, they\u2019re very protective of their talent and so even if I was proposing to do something where I was doing nothing but elevating that talent, they really have a big control on what they do and where they go and I understand it and I wish I could use WWE talent &#8212; some of them. There\u2019s some very quality people there but, yeah, it\u2019s a different kind of machine.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Malakai Black of course. I would love to have him on here and I\u2019ve spoke to him about it as well as Samoa Joe. I would like him, Kyle O\u2019Reilly and\u2026 Bryan Danielson. He\u2019s a Washington boy like me although he\u2019s from countryside out in Aberdeen, whereas I\u2019m from the city in Seattle. I have family that live down in that area, down southwest but we\u2019ve been on the road together, we\u2019ve trained together some, or I should say I\u2019ve actually coached him a little bit on some amount of submission and Catch stuff, but he\u2019s a phenomenal example of professional wrestling where he would do Jiu Jitsu and submission wrestling and all this kind of stuff on his own time to just become a better wrestler by and large. Whether he\u2019s gonna go out and work matches or really fight someone. It\u2019s really, really, really commendable.&#8221; (h\/t <a href=\"https:\/\/www.postwrestling.com\/2023\/03\/21\/josh-barnett-would-like-shayna-baszler-bryan-danielson-malakai-black-kyle-oreilly-to-compete-at-gcw-bloodsport\/\">Post Wrestling<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>Josh Barnett&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2023\/02\/27\/jon-moxley-opponent-for-bloodsport-revealed\/\">Bloodsport 9<\/a> takes place over <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2023\/03\/21\/wrestlemania-39-full-match-card\/\">WrestleMania<\/a> weekend as part of GCW&#8217;s The Collective.
