Paul Wight is ready to crossover into the world of science fiction with the upcoming show, GenZeroes.
All Elite Wrestling’s Paul Wight recently sat down with Shakiel Mahjouri of ET Canada to discuss a wide variety of subjects. When asked about his upcoming Sci-Fi NFT series GenZeroes, Wight gave a good bit of information regarding the plot of the show.
“It’s 200 years in the future after the aliens have come through,” Wight said. “It’s almost like the aliens have us basically on a harvest planet. Every few hundred thousand years they come through, they harvest the oceans, they harvest whatever resources have re-accumulated, they harvest that and they move on. So basically, we’re kind of like if you watch ‘World’s Deadliest Catch’, we’re a crab trap out in the middle of the ocean of space. They come by and they harvest it.
“This last time that they came through, humanity did its very best to unite together. Finally, everybody put politics aside and everything else and put up a good fight. It wasn’t enough. The only people that survived were those that were able to hide… The whole theme is they are trying to prepare for when they come back again because we know they are. We’re on a cycle. They will be back. It’s not if they will, that’s when they will.”
Paul Wight also confirmed that fans of the show would have the ability to help shape the direction of the show through unique means.
“As it was developing and we were putting stuff together, they were explaining out the NFTs to me and the involvement of building a community and the idea of the community being able to have some influence with the NFTs,” Paul Wight said. “To even determine some of the outcomes and story plots. Remember the books where you could choose your own ending? There are a lot of opportunities with ‘GenZeroes’ unlike anything I’ve ever seen and experienced before for community involvement. After so many years, four decades. of pro wrestling and wearing spandex for a living, I understand that your audience and your community are more important than anything that you can do.”
