AEW star and pro wrestling veteran QT Marshall spoke with Fightful’s Sean Ross Sapp on a number of topics, including RD Evans joining AEW after he finished up with TNA.
Marshall said, “Bryan Danielson did pitch him to our legal team and Tony, and then I kind of pitched him as well. It was like, ‘Oh, we’ve already heard that name come up.’ I was like, ‘Yeah, he just left TNA.’ He was always cool to me and, we did team together and stuff.”
On teaming with Evans in ROH:
“Like I said, when I first got to Ring Of Honor back then, I was very serious about certain things and then once I kind of saw the writing on the wall, which was for me, I didn’t want to be there. I just didn’t like it. It wasn’t my style of wrestling as everyone could tell and it was putting a lot on my body and my mind. So once I got in there with RD, I was starting to have more fun, then by the end I actually just started enjoying it. Like, ‘Oh, this is like an odd couple tag team that we can have a lot of fun. I can be a little more serious. He could be a little more funny,’ and so on and so forth.”
On Evans’ work in AEW:
“But we always stayed in touch. He’s been great and I think Tony has really taken a liking to him and just how he does stuff backstage and with the promos and he’s got really good ideas and just he’s a good person to have around.”
