Costco Guy A.J., who will face QT Marshall in a singles match at AEW Full Gear Zero Hour, appeared on the Battleground podcast to talk about a number of topics including his claim that he handed his gimmick to Marshall.
A.J. said, “At the time, QT Marshall was a young bulldog, and I said ‘Look at this guy man.’ He’s got a great look to him, a real heroic look to him…a wrestling background. I think this guy could really be a hero and carry things.’ So I called him out and I handed him my American flag. And I said ‘QT, you’ve got it from here.’”
On how the match came about:
“So QT reaches out, says ‘Hey, we’ve got this spot here at Full Gear. We’d love to have you.’ So he brings me to Barstool Sports, we signed up the contract. I thought we were friends. I said ‘Great, let’s team up. Let’s bring the Boom!’ And QT said ‘No, that’s not what this is about Big Boom AJ. I brought you back for one reason. I want you one on one.’ So…I gotta do what I got to do now, and that’s bring the boom!”
