QT Marshall says his story isn’t over yet.
QT Marshall recently spoke with WrestleZone about his recent work in All Elite Wrestling, as well as the documentary that detailed his life prior to starting with the promotion. Marshall was asked about his work ethic and how he measures his success, noting that the documentary wrapped filming before All Elite Wrestling came into existence. Marshall said that he ultimately made things work after moving to Atlanta (to work as a coach at the 1 Fall Power Factory in Georgia), but says the film only told part of the story, because his isn’t over just yet.
“When I look back, I just think about at that time in my life, I had neck surgery and it was just a bunch of stuff. There was also no alternative, so it was like it’s WWE or bust, right? So, that was a little hard for me but I remember at the same time, I think it was 2017 and at the end of 2016, I had told my wife, hey, we’re going to move to Atlanta and I’m just going to open a wrestling school…and she’s like ‘uh, okay…and then what?’ and I just said we’ll see what happens and she’s like ‘okay…and is that going to be successful?’ and I said it will but then she said that there’s multiple schools down there and I said it didn’t matter, I’m going to coach.
“A lot of wrestling schools don’t coach, everyone thinks this is an easy way to make money… and it’s not, it’s very difficult but at the same time, if you coach people and then you get people that are worth helping out, you do help them out and I’ve always thought of that approach, I’m just going to help out everybody that I can and eventually it’ll come back to me, I don’t know why, I don’t know when, but I’ve already tried the other way, I only tried to help myself and that didn’t work out too well, so, let’s see how this goes. Worst case, I’m just going to help a bunch of a people and if nobody helps me, it is what it is and within less than two years, there’s AEW and somebody helped me. I also think that there’s a lot of mistakes that I made, I was young, naive and didn’t understand a lot of the inner workings of how life worked, so I got a lot of life experience in-between and part two would be a really cool story but it’s not over yet, so I don’t want to jinx it, I want to keep going.”
