In a recent interview with Lucha Libre Online, All Elite Wrestling superstar and commentator Paul Wight discussed the build of his AEW in-ring debut, as well as the freedom that talents have in the company.

“That kind of environment, when you’re that relaxed, to not having to keep all of these things clocked in your mind of you can’t call a Championship this, you can’t say this, you can’t say that, all those things that are put in place to sometimes confuse a talent or hinder a talent from expressing themselves and I think that’s the one clear difference now is, I feel like, wow, when it comes time for me to put on my boots and step in the ring and really grab that microphone and get into a confrontation with an opponent, I think I’m going to be able to surprise a lot of people, they’ll go, oh I didn’t know Big Show was that funny, how about that, he’s pretty sharp, he’s not just a big hat rack, so we’ll see, either that or I’ll get booed out of the building, one of the two. If I get booed, I’ll just turn, I’m good at that, so it’s fine.”
