Daniel Garcia Says Was ‘Offended’ He Wasn’t Contacted For NJPW Best Of The Super Juniors Tournament

AEW

AEW star Daniel Garcia has stated that he was offended that he wasn’t contacted about a potential spot in this year’s Best of the Super Juniors line-up.

The round-robin tournament featured one AEW talent, Wheeler Yuta. The ROH Pure Champion finished joint-third place in the B block.

On Talk Is Jericho, Garcia shared his thoughts on not being invited by NJPW:

“Not gonna lie, I was kind of offended that (NJPW) didn’t hit me up for Best of the Super Juniors this year.

“I was offended. When (Wheeler) Yuta got announced and I was like, they didn’t hit up Daniel Garcia to do Best of the Super Juniors? But, I think they’re just saving me for the G1 to be honest. They’re probably saving me.

“I wanted — you could have at least reached out, you know? I felt a little bit slighted. But I’m also somebody where sometimes I feel like I need to carry a chip on my shoulder in order to be the best version of myself so I feel like that’s gonna be some good motivation for the next opponents.”

Garcia is currently aligned with the Jericho Appreciation Society in AEW, striving to become a great ‘sports entertainer’.

the PWG World Champion was not one of 28 names previously announced for this summer’s G1 Climax tournament. You can check out the full tournament line-up right here.
