Jimmy Uso talks about WWE Tag Teams, his fantasy match-up, more

Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso – WWE Tag Team Champions

Jimmy Uso, one-half of the WWE Tag Team, The Usos, recently had an interview with Jonathan McLarty of NorfolkNavyFlagship.com before his taping for WWE SmackDown in Norfolk, Virginia. The Usos are currently the WWE World Tag Team Champions after winning the title from The Miz and Damien Sandow at Monday Night Raw.

In this interview, Jimmy talked about the current state of WWE tag team division, about new season of Total Divas along with this wife WWE Diva Naomi, his recognition from the reality show and more. Below are the highlights from the interview:

JM: With the recent news that neither you nor Trinity will be involved in the next season of the Total Divas series, is there some relief knowing that you will not have cameras on you at all times?

Uso: The work is a lot less now. I almost get to have my privacy back. We come off of these tours and you want to get home and relax, but you’re still working because you’re front of these cameras. They’re in your home and you really just want to sleep all day. I’m OK with it, but my wife really isn’t. We didn’t agree with the terms, but things happen and they work out how they do. We’re enjoying the free time that we have now.

JM: Totals Divas has exposed you to a different demographic of viewers that may not have normally watched WWE programming. Have you noticed this while out in the public?

Uso: Definitely. I get recognized more from Total Divas than I do for WWE. With my wife, you get people that look at her and want a picture, but they’re not really sure if it’s her or not, but when we’re together, they automatically know. I get a lot of older women, actually, that come up to me. They’re like “Hey! You’re Jonathan from Total Divas!” out of nowhere. You’ll know that it’s a Total Divas fan because a WWE fan would have said “Uso!”. It was weird at first being called by my first name and my wife by her first name. It’s cool and funny in a way.

JM: If you could have one fantasy match-up, just one match between The Usos and any tag team from history, who would it be? On top of that, what type of match would it be?

Uso: One of my favorite matches my brother and I have seen was the TLC (Tables, Ladders, and Chairs) match with The Hardy Boys, Edge/Christian, and The Dudley Boys. Here are these legit tag teams that are going out there and kicking (butt). I just thought it was the coolest thing. To answer your question, it would a TLC match between The Usos and The Hardy Boys. Those are the guys that definitely inspired us in our tag team careers.
