WWE Hall of Famer “The Enforcer” Arn Anderson recently appeared on an episode of his ARN podcast, where he discussed a number of topics including AEW’s new media rights deal with Warner Bros. Discovery.
Anderson said, “I’m very happy for for Tony Khan and all of his crew, everybody that works there. I mean like I said, we need — when wrestling is flourishing, it notoriously is [that] every available company is doing well. It’s just, when they catch on fire then it just causes competition that everybody’s a better product. And so, that’s what I hope for. Let’s see how it goes.”
On why Jim Crockett Promotions never held a show on Halloween:
“I wouldn’t have at first glance that we would have done that. Because kids were a big part of our audience, and Halloween is a big deal for kids. I would say we would have ran a day before it or a day after it, depending on if it fell. And if it failed during the week, you could run a TV taping. And if it fell on a TV taping day, you would just have some of the guys and girls dress up in costumes and make it a Halloween theme.”
