During a recent appearance on the “Q101” podcast, Kyle Fletcher discussed how AEW’s shift to smaller venues has enhanced the roster’s passion. He said,
“With wrestling, the crowd makes it. These venues, it’s really reignited a lot of people’s passion backstage. When you’re wrestling in arenas, it’s a different feeling. They’re still cool, yes, it’s an arena, but when you have these weird and wacky balconies and theaters, it really brings out a different feeling. That atmosphere, you can’t replicate it. It’s really brought alive the wrestler’s passion because everyone is so excited to get out there and be in the ring. We’re blessed to have awesome fans we get to wrestle in front of and bringing that intimate atmosphere, it makes the experience better for everybody.”
