Bobby Lashley says MVP told him Tony Khan is a great guy
Bobby Lashley says MVP told him Tony Khan is a great guy who believes people deserve a chance to continue in AEW:
“You think they have enough money for me? MVP is great. The one thing I know with Tony Khan and this is one thing I’ve seen that’s really cool, the fans need to understand this because sometimes the fans come out and say, ‘They’re just getting old WWE guys.’ With any show, you need your guys that are established to help establish some guys that aren’t. MVP coming over brings a lot of notoriety, a fanbase, and a level of starting that they can use. Some of the guys there are fantastic wrestlers; they just need to be in the ring with certain talent. If you put a fantastic wrestler in the ring with another fantastic wrestler and just try to sell the match, it’s hard because people are like, ‘Oh, well, they just did some cool stuff.’ Once you start mixing in different people like Daniel Bryan Bryan Danielson, Adam Copeland, Christian, and Samoa Joe, those guys get a good rub off of them.
“What Tony Khan is doing, I’m still friends with MVP and I talk with him about going over there I said, ‘How is it over there?’ The one thing people say when they are over there is, ‘Tony Khan is a really good dude.’ He is genuinely saying to people over there, ‘You deserve to still carry on. ‘Edge was being pushed down, and he was like, ‘I took time off, I was able to get cleared. I wanted to come here. I still have something left in the tank. I want to have fun and go do it. I don’t want it to be stressful; I want to be able to do it.’ Tony Khan came in and said, ‘You deserve to; you’re a legend in this business. You can help us out, we can help you out, and supplement your income for the next few years.’ That’s what they did. That’s what MVP is doing also. He got pulled off TV early, had been off TV, and got back on. I saw the promo he cut it was an awesome promo. He told a good story. He can carry on, make some money for them, and escalate some of their guys.”
