Eric Young says AEW is not his place
During an interview with Nick Hausman of Haus of Wrestling, Eric Young mentioned that he is in TNA Wrestling to stay. He also mentioned that he would not wrestle in AEW as he does not think that is the place for him.
“I talked with some friends there and people that I trust, and Tony had kind of mentioned that he was interested, but it just never materialized,” Eric Young said. “The truth is, I’m just going to get lost in the ether and in the mix like 60 other people there, right? The truth is I don’t have his confidence. Me and him aren’t close in any way, shape, or form.
“I’m kind of replacing one set of problems for another, and I have nothing against Tony Khan. From everything I know, he’s a very nice man. I met him a couple of times in passing. He treats the wrestlers with respect, he pays them very well, and is a very respectful man and a kind man. So, it’s nothing against the product or nothing against him. It’s just not my place. Impact Wrestling is my home, and that’s where I wanted to be. So that’s where I am.”
