Adam Copeland believes AEW is not afraid to take risk

Adam Copeland believes AEW is not afraid to take risk and is similar to punk rock.

Cope during a recent interview with TV Insider when asked about fan backlash to his street fight with Jon Moxley on Dynamite

“I look at wrestling as a variety show. That means you bring a lot of different things to the table with that,” Copeland said when asked about the polarizing reaction the match received.

“There can be some comedy, straight up wrestling, hardcore matches. That has always been the case. It’s also not really out of the ballpark of what Moxley and I do every once in a while. Think about me and [Mick] Foley. I’m sure there are a lot of people that were disturbed by that too. There are also a lot of people who enjoy horror movies. There are people who enjoy romcoms. I think wrestling can bring that all to the table. I think that is what AEW does.”

“I also feel like AEW is not afraid to take some risks. For a lack of a better analogy, we’re kind of a bit punk rock. It’s not always going to be pretty. It’s an alternative. It’s something different. I think if you look throughout the history of the company, it’s not something new. Darby Allin was falling off ladders and glass and thumbtacks. It has always been there to an extent. Let’s also face it. If you have two wrestlers coming out to wrestle a technical match every match, that can get pretty boring.”
