Austin Aries Clarifies Where the Banana Idea Came From

Sam Roberts hosted The Tomorrow Show where he interviewed Austin Aries about where his banana idea he used on WWE TV came from.

Alongside a plethora of other guests including X-Pac, Roberts sat down with Aries to talk about a number of topics mainly about healthy eating. During the interview, they referenced the infamous banana Aries carried with him on WWE TV. This is what he had to say:

“I’m just going to say this about the banana. The Hall Of Fame is long, okay? And I saw lots of people dressed to impress that night. Lots of nice suits. Lots of nice dresses. Let me tell you something, about three and a half hours in, I guarantee about 40 percent of that audience wished they had a banana in their pocket instead of a pocket square, because I got famished. I was running low on some energy, and that pocket square wouldn’t do me any good. But I got a nice little shot of some natural sugars and potassium, and then I just used my sleeve to wipe my mouth off. And I didn’t need the pocket square. So sometimes the thing comes in handy in a pinch. You never know.”

“There’s nothing unpredictable about this whatsoever. So when all of a sudden some guy randomly has a banana in his pocket and everyone goes, ‘What’s with the banana?’ Exactly! You’re asking a question and you’re intrigued by something, how refreshing. And the minute I tell you why the banana, now you don’t care. And maybe there isn’t a why, and maybe there is, and maybe I’m never gonna tell you.”

“There’s nothing better than when people see bananas, now they think of me.”

These quotes come from an absolutely hilarious, interesting and serious podcast that we do highly suggest you watch if you’re a fan of the wrestling industry, Star Trek or want to know more about healthy eating.
