Brock Anderson on why he did not renew his AEW contract
During a special appearance at a K & S Wrestlefest, Brock Anderson shared the reason he was unhappy with AEW.
“About two years in probably,” said Anderson of his realization. “Hindsight’s 20/20. It was like a brand new company. They’d only done a handful of TVs before COVID, and then they went into COVID. So, in one sense, it was the best place for me to be because it’s not like I could be out on the Indies. They weren’t running. So, at least I was there and when I was there, Cody (Rhodes) was there and we were in Jacksonville at the Daily’s Place right next to the Jaguars stadium. During the day, like, TV days, they would have all the young guys out there and we would roll around and… some of the boys watching and they’re like, ‘Hey, that was good. This was bad.’
“So in that respect, it was good, and like I said, it was a newish company and we’re in the middle of a global pandemic. We didn’t know if we were gonna develop a training center or any of that because it’s early so you’re just like, alright, we’re just gonna keep doing this and see what happens and surely, God, maybe getting a training center or see how they do — bring us along, and then, once we got out of the pandemic, we were rocking and rolling, hitting towns every week and it was just TVs, and that school never came.”
