Brody King was recently interviewed by Wrestling Inc about the COVID-19 pandemic, and how Ring of Honor had to move their Death Before Dishonor Event out of Florida due to the pandemic's new wave.
āItās pretty obvious on why thatās happening. I feel like a lot of people were so eager to just get out and start doing stuff again in a āpost-pandemicā world, but weāre still very much in it, and I feel like that is a sign of the times to come. I donāt see this personally stopping anytime soon. I mean, me personally, I had COVID last week, and Iām a fully vaccinated person. Thankfully, it didnāt hit me as hard. Thereās growing concerns within the country, and it sucks to see that stuff like that happens because I would love to perform in Florida. I would love to see my friends in Florida, come out to the shows and have a good time. Obviously, Lakeland and Ring of Honor have had great history together. I hope that we get to a point as a country that we are able to go wherever we want without worrying about whatās going to happen or what are the pros and cons of going to these places other than just drawing fans.ā
Brody spoke about how he contracted COVID-19 even after having gotten vaccinated.
āI just had a really bad head cold, and I feel like you just canāt assume anything anymore. You canāt be like, āOh, it must be allergies or a cold. I went and got tested, and I tested positive and I quarantined in my basement for a week. Thankfully, my children and my wife have continued to test negative. When you see that positive outcome, itās not a fun feeling. I just hope that being vaccinated would help my case, and I feel like it did. I know that a lot of other people have had severely worse situations. Personally, Iāve had a friend that passed away a few weeks ago from COVID. Iām still here. Recently, on Sunday, I tested negative, so I guess weāre out of the worst of it.ā
He also spoke about Ring of Honor's bubble system for dealing with all of this.
āYeah, especially when your meals are limited to whateverās Postmate-able. Luckily, in Baltimore, we have Chipotle, so thatās the healthiest thing you can get. Other places, thereās McDonaldās or whatever is close to the airport, so it definitely sucks to be stuck in a hotel room, especially when you canāt go to the gym, you canāt leave the room, you canāt see your friends. The most you can do is talk to your family on FaceTime. It starts to be kind of draining after a while.ā
