The following is an excerpt from an online Paramaount+ exclusive interview with Action Wrestlings' newest tag team, Odin Balfore and Shane Borderland.
J.R.: Shane, your debut here in Action Wrestling must feel more like a homecoming considering your close ties with the former WCF from back in the day; did you get that sense when you came back?
S.B.: Absolutely, All it takes is a few familiar faces and even though teaming with Odin wasn't what I had in mind when I came back, considering our rivalry, that's all behind us. We’re here now and we’re gonna get the job done.
J.R.: You come home when Wesley, returns just after you. Do you have any thoughts on that?
S.B.: I don’t know who Wesley is, that's before I got here so, like, that's great for him. Everyone else seems happy for him. They can keep that. I’m old school. You give respect and show respect. Good for him but I’m not here to be outshined.
J.R.: What are your thoughts considering what happened with the Supermark, Wesley, and Shaw?
S.B: It doesn't matter, The Marks want to bitch, that's on them. You take your lumps and you get whats yours. Soon those belts will be ours. Give us the opportunity and we will rise to that opportunity.
J.R: Odin, what are your thoughts?
O.B: Wesley's been gone a long time, and i’d say that a lot has changed but nothing changed. I know that he’s a good talent and to get those tag belts the way he did - I can't say that it's well-earned but I’m not about that. The chips fell as they did. Just know that it’ll be different when Shane and I are in that ring.
J.R: Carter Shaw is a former world champion, that’ll be a hard hill to climb.
S.B: Let me say, Jade, that I could care less. He could be the best wrestler in the universe and I’ll still take him on his best day and leave him out cold.
O.D: Don’t speak of people as if they are beyond reproach. Former world champions, world champions, sup[ermarks, presidents of the company - it's all the same to me. Don’t spit in my face, Jade, as if I too wasn't a world champion. Or that Shane wasn't a cornerstone champion in WCF and in APW.
S.B: We’re Genesis. We’re the guys that's been here since the beginning in this industry. We’re the guys with that attitude that made wrestling and put it worldwide. It doesn't matter to us if it's the SuperMarks, or Wesley and Shaw. King Shit couldn't compete. That tells me all I need to know about the so-called front-runner for wrestler of the year. We plan on being a cornerstone of this division.
O.B: I fought Shane many times. We brought the house down against each other and now we’ll do it together. Its a new beginning, a Genesis for the tag team division but WAR never changes.
