During a recent interview with Josh Martinez of Z100 New York, AEW President Tony Khan commented on making the decision to have Bryan Danielson mentor Jade Cargill in AEW, and more. You can check out some highlights from the interview below:
On making the decision to have Bryan Danielson mentor Jade Cargill in AEW: “I made that call because I think he’s one of the greatest pro wrestlers of all time. And he’s got such a great mind and such great commitment to wrestling. I know he thinks about it when he’s not at the building. He researches it, he watches a ton of wrestling. And as a student of wrestling, I think he’s also a great teacher. And Jade is such a great talent with such a young wrestling career. You know she hasn’t been in the ring that long, but she’s accomplished a lot and I think she has more potential than anybody.”
On the chemistry between the two: “That’s why I asked Danielson to mentor her and that’s why I asked her to work with Danielson. And they’ve had a great chemistry working together and I think it bodes really well for her future that she’s got someone with so much knowledge invested in her success. So behind the camera, he has helped out a lot. She’s got a lot of great mentors working with her, really great coaching. And I think it’s very, very exciting and that’s one of the things I’m working forward to about tonight. What’s next for Jade, who is 26-0 as a pro wrestler on such a dominant run?”
