Tony Schiavone believes All Elite Wrestling is doing a great job building new stars.
On the latest episode of What Happened When, AEW commentator Tony Schiavone discussed the importance of wrestling companies building new stars. Schiavone believes All Elite Wrestling has done a great job of that over the past five years, citing examples like MJF, Swerve Strickland, and Hangman Page.
“It’s important for a promotion to make its own stars, and I think AEW is,” Tony Schiavone said. “With MJF, like him or not, with the Young Bucks, with Hangman Adam Page, who to me is going to be a great freaking heel, holy shit, and with Will Ospreay, who obviously became a star with New Japan Pro-Wrestling, but I think it’s an exciting time because we’ve got stars. Swerve Strickland is another one.
“We’ve got stars that we have made in AEW, and I think that is the key to any good company. Sure, Bryan Danielson gets the big pops, and I get that, and deservedly so. Claudio [Castagnoli], Jon Moxley, those are guys who were established stars and made stars by WWE. But here they are in AEW, and I think it’s a great combination.” [H/T: Fightful]
