During his recent appearance on Busted Open Radio, Paul Wight revealed which All Elite Wrestling stars have impressed him the most, since he signed with AEW earlier this year.
When asked who some of his favorite members of the AEW roster are, Wight told listeners:
“There’s a couple that have grown to be my favorites,” Wight said. “Some of the Dark Order guys. I did a sit down interview with John Silver. He’s got a great story and a great desire, great passion. As far as characters go, I’ve really gotten into, and I talk about this on our show Elevation, about how she makes me uncomfortable and nervous. But actually, I have so much admiration for what she’s created and what she does. Abadon. What she’s done with her character. She created in the wrestling business, which is very hard to be unique and be different and get something that has a chance to really get over with time. With her Abadon character, it’s nice to see the wheel can be reinvented so to speak… And then you look at raw, just, athletic ability, your girl Jade [Mark Henry]. You just look at her and her attitude is right. She’s humble, she’s hardworking, she busts her ass in the gym. But she’s got presence, which you and I both know no matter how hard you work, no how hard you do a hip toss or take a hip toss, it’s about presence. There are some people who are going to draw no matter what they do. It’s nice to see her, right now, applying herself and staying focused and hard working with it. Cause it’s really easy when you get that kind of hype coming out of the gate to lose yourself (not that I’d know anything about it). But to see her focus and commitment is really good.”
Paul also discussed the future of his in-ring career with the show, and stated that he’s “got the itch so bad,” to return. Wight ran down a list of people he wants to go toe-to-toe with, and mentioned AEW World Champion Kenny Omega.
