AEW exists because WCW vacated the prime TNT/TBS television slot

AEW exists, in my opinion, because of the failure of WCW because they vacated this great time slot, this great relationship with TNT and TBS that we have. And that was the success of WCW was the outlet, the penetration they had from TNT, TBS, and, of course, the fans.

WCW failed because they gave creative control to wrestlers

I think some of the things that went wrong for WCW, in my opinion, were the creative control. They gave creative control to a lot of the wrestlers. And some of the storylines are asinine. ...

Urban Meyer is an awesome person who will have his players' backs

Urban's great, man. ... He's changed my life in the six months I've known him... And the way he motivates people, and I know you're not going to want to hear it if you don't like him, but if you get to know him, there is something about him. ... I'm just saying, if he came in here and you worked with him, you'd love him. He would have your back on anything.
