Paul Wight feels his effort is appreciated working for All Elite Wrestling and Tony Khan.
All Elite Wrestling‘s Paul Wight recently sat down with DAZN. When asked what it’s like working with Tony Khan compared to working in WWE and WCW, Wight put over the way Khan runs the company compared to where he’s been before.
“Tony’s no stress for me. I show up, I work hard, I give a full effort. My effort’s appreciated. And Tony is very grateful for my being a part of AEW,” Paul Wight said. “That’s not just me. That’s how he treats all the talent. I think there’s a definite… more of a respect for personnel that you get when you work for Tony.
“Because Tony runs AEW like he would run a professional American football team or the soccer team. It’s top-of-the-line, player-focused. And that’s the way Tony runs AEW. He’s really focused on the talent.
Building Something With AEW
“Not so much of what’s best for AEW, what’s best for the brand, and what’s best for the company. A lot of his motivations are, ‘are my talent happy? Are my talent motivated, are my talent engaged, are they involved?’ He’s really good about that. He really is. It’s a different atmosphere. Anytime you’re a professional athlete, you’ll tend to feel like a piece of meat. You are only as good as the last thing you’ve done. You’re only good as far as what you can provide.
“I don’t get that feeling here with AEW. I feel like I’m a part of something. I’m helping to build something. And that’s a unique position for me to be in at this stage of my career.”
