Swerve Strickland presents a compelling argument for why tuning into weekly AEW programming is a must.
During a recent interview with Rick Ucchino on iHeart Radio, All Elite Wrestling’s Swerve Strickland emphasized the unique offerings of AEW shows compared to others in the wrestling world.
He highlighted the diverse array of talents showcased weekly, ranging from international stars to emerging homegrown talents, setting the stage for the future of professional wrestling.
“The variety, the talent, the international talent, the new wave of new homegrown stars that have been making a mark in pro wrestling at such a young age.
I think we’re set up for the future of pro wrestling in one of the best ways possible,” Strickland said.
“But also a lot of the familiar talent you’ve been introduced to for the last 10, 20, even 30 years.”
He pointed to recent matchups like Dustin Rhodes facing off against Samoa Joe for the AEW World Title on Dynamite, illustrating the blend of seasoned veterans with fresh faces that AEW offers.
Strickland also highlighted his own journey, from overcoming setbacks to headlining pay-per-view events like Dynasty in St. Louis.
“Those are big stories, and that’s the big talent that you’re just not going to see go the route that they have anywhere else,” Strickland emphasized.
For viewers seeking a departure from the longstanding legacy of WWE and craving a more dynamic, fast-paced, and diverse wrestling experience, Strickland asserts that AEW is the destination of choice.
“If you’re looking for something that’s a different type of relationship, something that’s a little more fast-paced, a little more variety, a little more hard-hitting, and you want to truly invest in something that’s definitely going to be the new wave and new style of things and just a different culture, All Elite Wrestling is where you want to be.
Especially like men, women, ethnicities, action, all of it.”
