He said that one major difference is that here he enjoy the support and he also said that he hasn’t seen this kind of postive energy for a long long time.
“The atmosphere is completely different. I think anytime you start over new somewhere, it’s automatically going to be refreshing, but even more so here. The support – the one thing that is different here that I really enjoy, is the support. And the fight that the talent has over here for respect, recognition, and the drive. That’s the heart of professional wrestling and when you’re doing entertainment. You want a locker room that – it’s not guys stepping on each other’s toes, cutting each other’s throat to get a position. You want a team where everybody is trying to get over and everybody’s trying to put the best possible product for the fans. And that kind of environment I thrive on and I love this environment. I haven’t seen a locker room this kind of positive energy in a long, long, long time.”
Paul Wight also said that he had build some great relationships and partnerships being in WWE. Especially, partnership with Special Olympics, which has been associated with WWE, is very dear to his heart and he will continue to work with it, Tony Khan also gave him go-ahead with that.
“That’s one of things that I was fortunate enough of being WWE for so long, as I got to build some great community relationships and some great partnerships. One of the partnerships that is very dear to my heart is Special Olympics, and that’s one of the conversations I had with Tony (Khan) coming over, I said ‘Look, I know it’s going to be awkward, but I’m still going to be involved with Special Olympics’, even though that’s kind of a brand that’s teamed in wrestling with WWE. And I think everybody involved – WWE, Special Olympics and AEW, understands my passion and commitment to Special Olympics, so that’s not a problem going forward. That’s one thing about Tony, Tony understands what I bring to the table. I can only help AEW’s product by getting involved with community projects which I care about and going forward with that. And plus there’s a lot of opportunity for me, now that I’m building – in essence we’re building the Paul Wight brand – so I get a chance to do a lot of positive things with my own brand for things in the future as well.”
Going to be a fun time! Join us💪❤️😎 https://t.co/6xtJjjhJhB
