Jay White: The Sessions with Renee Paquette

The Bullet Club comes to The Sessions with “Switchblade” Jay White! Before New Japan Pro Wrestling’s Windy City Riot show, Jay chats with Renee about one of the more usual in-ring careers out there, including how a radio contest sent him down the path of pro wrestling. Plus, find out who he trained with, who his dream match is, whether he is, in fact, #AllElite, and the one thing he isn’t willing to discuss on a pod.

BREATHE WITH THE SWITCHBLADE, HIS ERA BABY

[@nightnurse777]

I’ve been a wrestling fan for almost 50 years, and Jay is one of the most convincing heels I’ve ever witnessed. As well as being an amazing wrestler, he’s got that rock-star energy. He’s gonna go down as one of the greats.

[@TheLATigress]

good to see this side just met him seen him live 4 times talked to him for a good 10 mins

[@85futureshock]

I predict this dude is gonna break out outside the wrestling industry. He has that look and charisma to where Hollywood would come calling.

[@bigdaddyroy5382]

He's got thar biker/drug smuggler look here

[@BaByFaCeBAYkid1]

Forsure but I would love for him to have a run in WWE then go Hollywood!

that was in character? idk noone is thhat good of an actor...i think he will only wrestle 5 more yrs max

[@henryseldon6077]

Jay White continues to redefine wrestling today! I'm in total awe of this guy, him and Moxley are special, I'm not sure why but I can't get enough.

[@TheLATigress]

i feel the exact same way..but i dont think Jay as much love and passion to be the best anymore..he is down to earth, driven, hard worker, likes to not think of wrestling in his free time so i think hes only gonna be a wrestler maybe 5 more yrs max

[@TheLATigress]

i met him and got pic and a good ten mins of talking

[@TheLATigress]

i still cant get enough...seen him live 4 times already

[@Garmygarms]

He's such a fucking New Zealander, I love it. I feel like our general apathy and lack of care about anything always surprises people.

I've never had the pleasure of meeting anyone from New Zealand. So you say that's how the people just are?

Jay rules. Hope to see him back in AEW, and to see where the whole Bullet Club / Elite thing goes.

it would be drama , doing cross overs is better

[@coconyt3623]

So we can only breathe with the Switchblade in his indefinite era, because he happened to win an all expenses covered WM trip, because he happened to hear about a gauntlet for it on the radio? Goddamn... Some things are just 'it was meant to be'. Love this guy! TOO SWEET!

[@jobbermania]

49:15 Definitely go back and watch the press conference Jay mentions here. Everything was spot on and I really hope Jay brings this up in AEW at some point soon. That rematch with Hangman definitely needs to happen before he drops the title.

[@El-ingobernable]

Jay White singing Shakira's "Hips Don't Lie" lol would love to see that lol

[@SharifKridane]

I remember seeing him first on a ROH-show where he wrestled I think it was a young Will Ospreay. I've been a fan of both of them ever since and man has it been a fun ride! Jay and Will are the future of NJPW Gajin-peformers, especially Jay White! This man is a generational talent who will transcend the Pro Wrestling Industry, mark my words! Hopefully he has a lengthy title-reign and put on some bangers starting this Sunday at Forbidden Door! BREATHE WITH THE SWITCHBLADE

[@JoeKer1989]

And NEW IWGP World heavyweight champion! BREATHE with the switchblade!

Speaking of keeping there private life’s quiet, Asuka is one that has very little known about her private life. Which is interesting that she’s managed to even with her KZbin channel.

asuka and jay white?

Jay doesn't really have a lowkey private life anymore lol. People know who he his significant other is now. I don't follow her but I came across her page before. Jays GF (now wife) is Savanna White

Well not everyone knows about her but like I said I came across her IG page when. I saw she tagged him in a pic

[@obsoletecarnavoyeur]

@@noxiousbastard11 Jay is married to Savanna White and idk much about Asuka's personal life. I always thought Jay and Io Shirai was a thing lol but nope I was wrong

[@thetak3on]

49:50 he reveals why Tama Tonga got kicked out of Bullet Club. Tama wasn’t going outside of Japan to grow Bullet Club. Whereas Jay White was willing to go outside of Japan with Bullet Club attached to him which makes it grow. Pretty smart and it makes Tama’s career less pressuring. Makes me wonder why Tama wasn’t willing to go outside Japan.

[@JohnAnthony538]

Dude is lucky he has strong hair, surprised it isn't falling out as much as he plays with it lolol. Huge Jay White fan. Taking over NJPW is no joke. Jay is a new age king.

he sounds like the type of guy who would give the WWE a shot, as thats what he grew up on. he doesn't come across as a mark for the business or someone who grew up watching tapes and following the japanese scene. i hope he stays with NJPW, but wouldn't be surprised if he one day decided to give the WWE a go. hopefully he isn't in their cross hairs, as they seem to be fully invested with getting guys and girls and bringing them through NXT.
