Aries: “there was a six-figure contract on the table at the end of last year that I politely declined”

Austin Aries Says He Declined A Six-Figure Offer After Leaving Impact Wrestling, His Reputation & Thoughts on Working with NJPW
Austin Aries did an interview with the Journal Sentinel ahead of tomorrow night’s MLW Fury Road in Milwaukee.
Below are highlights.
On Leaving Impact/Joining MLW:
“Really, since I left Impact Wrestling – some people say controversially – I’ve been really laying low,” he said. “I’ve had contract offers. Even after (Impact) there was a six-figure contract on the table at the end of last year that I politely declined. MLW had contacted me previously about maybe wanting to come in and do some things with them, but it wasn’t the right timing. I just decided for the first half of this year just to reset. I’m also in the mindset that at this point in my career, I don’t really want to work for anybody. But I will work with anybody. Then I actually reached out to MLW and I said to them, ‘Hey guys, I know we talked a few months back and you had expressed some interest. It wasn’t really the right time. I said, ‘You’re going to be in my hometown. That interests me.’ I’m not motivated by money and I never really had been. I’m probably not motivated by a lot things that people think I am.”
On His Reputation:
“I’ve never really come out publicly and buried anybody. I’ve never come out publicly and exposed anyone or anything. I’ve always let things be written about me, true or otherwise, and never really taken the time to address them because you can’t really win that game in the moment. And, to be quite honest, at a certain point you decide to use them to your advantage. Good, bad, indifferent. And most people aren’t indifferent about me, which is good in my business.”
On Working For NJPW:
“At this point in my career, I’ve literally been blessed to do almost everything I’ve wanted to do. Outside of going and maybe having a run in New Japan (Pro Wrestling), which is probably the only major company I haven’t worked for that I want to check off. So I’m putting it on the record right now.”
Jim Cornette was also part of the interview. Here’s what he had to say about Aries:
“He’s a great wrestler. And he’s a great personality for pro wrestling. That comes through in pretty much everything he does. He’s been controversial because he’s the kind of guy that wants to do his own thing. He’s a nightmare to face in the ring, and he’s a nightmare to deal with in the conference room. The level of excellence that he brings in the ring is equal to the obstinance that he brings in contract negotiations. You can call it being his own worst enemy, or you can call it being true to himself with finding his spot on his terms.”

Sting Calls His Feud With Vampiro A ‘Bomb of All Bombs’

Posted on by bamdj

During a recent appearance at AwesomeCon, spoke about his feud with Vampiro in WCW in 2000, which he said failed because the two of them just didn’t have any chemistry with each other. Here are highlights:
On his matches with Cactus Jack: “Cactus was a fun guy to work with. He was a great personality outside of the ring as well. Talk about somebody who sacrificed his body – I mean I have stories about him. In Germany, against Vader… I have stories about him in Atlanta with me. Some of the things that he did and hearing the sound of his body and his flesh hitting the pavement from I don’t know how many feet, I mean just ridiculous! I was in Germany by the way when he wrestled Vader and you could see him wrestling and you could see the end of the match. You can see blood coming off the side of Mick’s head. He thought he got busted open somehow and no big deal but the next thing you know a ring announcer comes walking into the dressing room with half of an ear or three-quarters of an ear in his hands. The thing is I have my ears. And I went yep…That’s an ear! It was Cactus Jack’s! I mean he came back in the dressing room and said something like, ‘BANG BANG’ and that was it. I think he wanted to have that thing preserved somehow in some kind of liquid. They didn’t want to let him do it. A lot of fun working with Cactus. I loved his creativity. His willingness to just try stuff and do something different, step out of the box.”
On his feud with Vampiro: “I just couldn’t make that thing clear. I just could not figure out a way, and I was giving him permission to step over the line and do things that I wouldn’t allow anyone else to do over the years. I told him I to call me by my real name… see if that’ll get through. See if it’ll create something. Nothing. There was no chemistry there whatsoever, I mean nothing. It was just a bomb. A bomb of all bombs.”
On working with Abyss: “I loved working with Abyss. I mean the casket match and some other stuff – I still see him three or four times a year. I just saw him at Wrestlemania [35]. He’s working with [WWE] now and doing a good job for them. I loved those matches with him and every time he sees me he says: ‘Sting, the best matches I ever had were against you.’ Wow, That’s a big compliment!”Click Here: Kids football kit sets

Tony Khan Says AEW Will NOT Have an Offseason

Posted on by bamdj

In a great article on Bleacher Report about AEW, Tony Khan talked about his role in AEW, as well as TV and touring schedules for the promotion. He noted that he doesn’t want AEW TV on Monday or Friday nights, doesn’t want it to go head-to-head with NFL games, that he won’t pay for TV time, confirms there won’t be an offseason, and that he’s committed to a lighter schedule for wrestlers.
Tony Khan on his AEW role: “I’m not taking a hands-off approach. We work together really closely, but I’m day to day managing the business. This is a very collaborative process. I talk to Cody and Kenny Omega and Matt and Nick every day, and we group chat and share ideas. When one of us has an idea, another can take it and run with it. The five of us have a great working relationship, and when you add in Brandi and Dana and Chris Jericho and [Ring of Honor veteran] Christopher Daniels, we’re all in constant communication. I’m very active with it.”
Tony Khan on AEW TV and touring schedule: “I’m not gonna go on Monday night or Friday night, and I would never go head-to-head with the NFL or pay for time on television.”
“I’m not planning on doing hundreds of non-televised events on tour, because I don’t think that would represent a large enough revenue stream for us and profitable enough business sector for us to risk the health and well-being of all these wrestlers. I’m not gonna have an offseason, but there will be a lighter schedule and we’ll work people in and out.”Click Here: nsw blues jersey
