All Elite Wrestling issued a new press release confirming Hall Of Famer Tully Blanchard‘s official role will be as the Exclusive Advisor to Shawn Spears.
Blanchard made his first appearance during last night’s premiere of “The Road To All Out” when he cut in during Shawn Spears’ sit down interview with Jim Ross. The proverbial ‘ace’ up Spears’ sleeve, Blanchard has entered into a multi-show agreement with Spears and AEW.
“Shawn Spears’ new advisor Tully Blanchard is a legendary retired wrestler and a canny tactician known worldwide for his vicious streak and penchant for chicanery,” said Tony Khan, President and CEO of AEW. “Given the challenge that Shawn has issued to Cody for a match at ALL OUT as well as the long, bitter history between Tully and the Rhodes family, plus Shawn’s recent behavior in AEW, it appears that Tully Blanchard has a great deal of influence over Shawn’s intents and actions. This indicates that going forward Shawn Spears will be one of the most feared and unpredictable wrestlers in AEW.”
