In a recent interview with KSLA News 12, Roderick Strong praised AEW and its President Tony Khan, calling the upstart promotion a “passion project.”
Strong said, “AEW, for me, and this is my personal opinion on it, is a passion project. Not just from our boss, Tony Khan, who is one of the most passionate wrestling coaches fans, bosses that I’ve ever met in my career, but the whole locker room, it’s a whole group effort, and we’re all coming together from something that, you know, that a company that was created just five years ago, and to where the stage we are now, like it’s just a, it’s a team effort and it’s amazing.”
On a recent edition of “The Bill Simmons Podcast,” television icon Larry David stated that he used to watch wrestling, but stopped upon learning it was “fixed.”
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On when he watched wrestling “Yeah, I watched when I was a kid, too. Then I realized it was fixed and I stopped watching.”
On some fans: “It’s so stupid. You’re watching this thing…yeah, you know it’s fixed, but the people who are there, they think it’s real. No, they do. Are you kidding? They go crazy. They wouldn’t go crazy if they thought that it was real.”
On if he’ll watch the six-part Vince McMahon docuseries: “I’ll watch the first one.”
