Matt Jackson Talks AEW, Connection With China’s OWE In New Interview

Matt Jackson, A VP of All Elite Wrestling, recently spoke to NuclearConvoy.com about the new AEW Venture. Jackson discusses The unique signing of the Chinese tag team #StrongHearts and why the Chinese scene is so intriguing to him and important for All Elite Wrestling’s future. Below are some highlights:

Matt Jackson on AEW’s relationship with OWE in China:

Immediately when I saw a couple of GIFs of the OWE guys on Twitter, I was attracted. So, I looked up more clips and did research on them. I quickly learned my old friend CIMA, who I’d made friends with years ago in Japan, was affiliated with them. That made sense right away, because the clips I watched had a real Dragon Gate feel to it. Yet still, it looked and felt so original. Like a fight scene from an old Kung fu movie.  I knew I’d one day work with these guys right away. I’m attracted to anything out of the ordinary.

Matt Jackson on #StrongHearts:

Right off the bat, #StrongHearts will be represented strongly, however, that won’t be the end of it. We expect to use several of the talents coming out of OWE. In my perfect world, once we’re running more regularly, I’d love to house several of the wrestlers, use them for a few months as part of an excursion, and send them back home with a little experience under their belts. Then, send more fresh wrestlers from OWE here to the states to do the same.

Matt Jackson on the OWE relationship being vital to AEW’s growth:

I think it’s vital to have something completely fresh and unseen by most eyes be one of the major highlights of our shows. We need to be different aesthetically, and OWE is just that. OWE will grab the audience’s attention and deliver something most fans have never seen. I plan to have OWE be one of the first things on our show, because we’ve only got one first time impression, and we’ve got to make it a big one.
