Adam Copeland has praised the fun, exciting nature of the fans who attend AEW events, which he believes is representative of what wrestling is.
Copeland debuted for AEW at the Wrestle Dream pay-per-view event in October of last year. He previously spent decades with WWE where he is a Hall of Famer.
On a recent edition of the “This is VANCOLOUR” podcast, Copeland spoke about the exciting nature of AEW events and how it demonstrates what wrestling should be. He said,
“Here’s what I love about AEW — it’s young and it’s exciting. The great thing about an AEW crowd is that you’ll have some dude come dressed up as Jesus, you’ll have a dude dressed up as the Macho Man. Everybody’s just coming to have fun. And that’s, to me, what professional wrestling’s always been.
“It’s been an outlet. Forget about the boss, forget about the bully, forget about whatever it is, and dive into this theater of the absurd. And that means larger-than-life characters, that means explosions, that means music, and it’s this giant fondue melting pot of entertainment.”
Copeland is the current AEW TNT Champion. He won the title from Christian Cage on the March 20, episode of AEW Dynamite in Toronto, Canada.
