by Adam Copeland recently was on Notsam Wrestling podcast, where he talked about AEW, WWE, Tony Khan, Vince McMahon, and more.
Adam Copeland on working with Vince, Tony, and Triple H
“Paul and Tony are fans, and I think Vince is to a degree, but he looks at it from more of the business and more of the global thing, but at the heart of this thing, you know, Hunter was a fan and Tony was a fan. So I think they come at it from that mindset. I think that might be the difference maybe.”
“I think the biggest difference I’d have to say I noticed between the two companies is that with WWE now, it’s a publicly traded company, there’s the sponsors, there’s a lot of different things to answer to, and with AEW there’s just a lot of freedom. (You can’t be running around saying, go f**k yourself on WWE TV.) not gonna happen, right?”
“So in that regard, especially in this finals act of my career, that’s a super fun place to navigate from. That’s a great place to create from because, oh right, let’s just throw it at the wall and see if it sticks. If it doesn’t, okay, well, it didn’t, and then let’s try this and let’s try that, and then, like I said, have a complete roster of people that I’ve never touched, like I’ve never wrestled Samoa Joe.”
