Here are some highlights:

His reign as PROGRESS Wrestling World Champion:

“I mean, it’s been exactly the way that I wanted it to be. I think that two or three years ago, especially pre-pandemic and post-pandemic, there was a lot of people who I think would have laughed at you or laughed at me at the thought of being Progress Men’s World Champion. Main eventing a Progress Show to its first sell out since they came back in the pre-pandemic, I think that a lot of people would have laughed it. A lot of people would have laughed at you and certainly did laugh at me.“I think that this just proves that anything can happen. I think I’ve proved everybody wrong. I think I’ve proved certain people who didn’t believe in me in the past, whether they be certain people in offices across the country or fans or even my own family, especially Tom Dawkins, Cara Noir, I think have proved them all wrong.“I’m not one for huge inspirational conversations and huge inspirational affirmations. But I do everything works out the way that it should and time is your ally if nothing else, just wait and do what you know is right and it will get you to where and it will get you to where you need. To be where you deserve to be and everybody will eventually realize what they were wrong about what was right in front of them.

“I think that this story with Cara Noir has been the best story in British wrestling over the past 18 months. I think it’s been one of the best stories in wrestling around the world. I’ll put that up against anyone, against any other story going on. I think that it’s extremely difficult in wrestling, particularly modern British indie wrestling, to create anything that has this level of heat, and people care that much about it. Having people investing that much in characters where they really want to see somebody like Cara Noir win and they really want to see someone like the vulture Spike lose.

“I think that this cage match is going to be the culmination of a good old-school blood feud. And I think that’s what British wrestling has missed for such a long time. And while it’s playing hell with my body and it’s played hell with my mind at times, I’m very proud to be part of it, and I’m extremely ready for whatever Cara Noir is gonna throw at me. I’m grizzled, broken, I’m bruised, but I’m ready for more.”

His feud with Cara Noir ending in PROGRESS Wrestling’s first cage match:

“This is it! We don’t owe anything to each other after this. I owe him nothing. He owes me nothing. As far as I’m concerned once this is over, I’m done with him. And he’s done with me. Maybe down the line we can see each other in different ways but I dare say that me and Tom Dawkins will ever be on the same page.

“We’ll always find a reason to dislike each other and if worst comes to worse, we’ll always find a reason to get our hands on each other and tear each other apart. But when it comes to this feud, this rivalry that started over 2 years ago, this rivalry that started before we even came back from the pandemic. This rivalry started in the Peckham shows. It started when I requested to speak to him, when I requested to have a shot at the title from him, because I had a five match win streak, which is still I think, not been replicated in singles matches since then. I asked him and he said, No.

“And then obviously, it was because of me that he lost the title to Jonathan Gresham. So, you know, this is the combination of two and a half years. The seeds of this were planted two and a half years ago. And so it has to end. It’s got to come to its conclusion. And with conclusions come definite answers and that’s what both of us are looking for.”

Trivet also talked about his greatest title victories as PROGRESS Wrestling World Champion, coming up with the idea of a cage match at PROGRESS Heavy Metal, and much more. You can check out the complete interview at this link.
