Joseph Alexander (@JosephAgame) on his recent match of the year candidate with J Boujii (@jboujii) at ETU Wrestling (@ETUwrestling): “Yeah, that was a special night. I can only give that to God. That’s all I can say. Boujii and I were- that’s my brother- let me just say that. J Boujii, that’s my brother. We were both in that place mentally where it wasn’t just rough; it was just a challenge. I don’t want to speak for him fully, but it was a challenge for sure. We leaned on each other a lot. I’ve been leaning really heavily into my faith and walking a lot more spiritually, and Boujii’s been leaning on me a lot. This match kind of just came about. When I had gotten the word about it, it was like, ‘Alright, me vs. Boujii. It’s crazy. This is my brother. We got to go to war.’ We said a prayer before the match, before we went out there. It was magic. I can’t really put it into words. Were there fundamental things wrong with it or things that could have been here or there? Yeah, probably. But I just can’t talk enough about how proud I am of that match. That was something I still can’t believe. The way, I think it’s very real for me because I always wanted to have this sort of presence in New York. I don’t know if this makes sense. Walk with me here. I always wanted to be one of the guys out of New York. I traveled around a lot early on, and it wasn’t really a thing if, did I really have a home base? I tried really hard to connect with the crowd out there. Sometimes I didn’t; sometimes it was a swing and a miss, and sometimes it was a hit. That match with Boujii, we connected with the crowd fully. That was so validating for me. It was really, really special.” @pwponderings pwponderings.com/2026/10/23/…
