I would like for everybody to be able to say that I've never lied to them.

It's the best, being able to work on so many different things I love. There's nothing else I'd rather be doing.

Cody Rhodes and The Young Bucks had never done a show on television, yet they were able to draw a show with 11,000 people to suburban Chicago. Just based on word of mouth and through the love of wrestling they spread.

At my heart I love wrestling more than anything else.

I love the draft process. I love the regular season. I love preparing for the games. I just love football.

When you see a guy reading off a teleprompter or a mental teleprompter, just trying to recite a script or trying to look up in the air when you forget a line. It is hard to suspend disbelief when the wrestler doesn't believe in the real-life situation that is unfolding.

I have been a fan of Dustin Rhodes my whole wrestling-fan life.

I believe you don't need to spend 6 days on the road to make a good living as a wrestler or 5 days on the road per week necessarily.

I think what we have going in the Casino Battle Royale is going to show people an exciting, different take on the traditional battle royal format, different than what anybody has done. It's not going to be two hours of battle royals. It's going to be really, really action-packed.

We're bringing a focus on wrestling. We're bringing an emphasis on wrestling matches and action taking place in or around the ring. We'll do great interviews too, but in these segments, we can do it all in the arena and around the ring. We can do some stuff backstage; we just don't spend half the show backstage.

I don't want to compare us to any other wrestling company. We're AEW and we're doing something very different.

The Young Bucks are super involved with tag team wrestling in our company.
