Actor Paul Walter Hauser won an Emmy on Monday for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie for his performance in “Black Bird.”
During his acceptance speech, he started name-dropping pro wrestlers.
Hauser Name Drops Pro Wrestlers in Acceptance Speech
Fightful reported:
In his speech, which turned out to be a lyrical masterpiece, Hauser referenced that he was about to beat Matt Cardona and shouted out Kota Ibushi. He also mentioned the Wolfpac and DDP, and closed with a Dudley Boyz (Bubba Ray and D-Von) reference by saying “get the tables.”
While some might know wrestling legends The Dudley Boyz or DDP (Diamond Dallas Page), Matt Cardona is one of the most popular pro wrestlers on the independent circuit right now…
…who Hauser is actually facing in the ring in a match on March 16 at REVOLVER Wrestling’s Ready or Not.
So the actor was accepting an award – and promoting his upcoming match.
Hauser Has Always Been One of a Kind
Hauser’s hands were shaky as he read his speech from his phone and no doubt many of the high-profile celebrities in attendance likely knew little about the wrestlers he mentioned.
But for anyone who’s paid attention to Paul Walter Hauser for any bit of time, you know he’s going to do his thing. And in his own way.
On Monday night, he certainly did.
