AEW referee Aubrey Edwards spoke with The Wrestling Classic on a number of topics, including the company’s evolution during it’s first five years in the business.
Edwards said, “It’s incredible to see all of the things that we as a company have been through, knowing that we were in Jacksonville for a year and a half during the pandemic and that feels like a lifetime ago. I feel like that’s a big part that hasn’t gone away is that sort of feel of camaraderie, and it’s always cliche to say it but that feeling of family. Like it was Tony Khan’s birthday and he had ordered a bunch of cupcakes and they were vegan and gluten-free and he came by and offered me one, like this is a guy who has too many things to do but somehow remembers my dietary restrictions. It’s insane that all of these things have happened, that we’ve grown to this point that we are a real competitor to a company that’s been around forty-plus years.”
