In an interview with Fightful.com, Dean Malenko talked about signing with AEW as a Producer.
On joining AEW: “I’m excited. Anything that can bring wrestling back a little bit and give guys an opportunity to go out and make a living. It’s got a lot of energy. People are talking about it, and I’m happy to be a part of it. I’ve been busy the last 18 years, and haven’t had the opportunity to see a lot of these young guys, but I’m looking forward to that for sure. I’ve been weighing my options and seeing where I was going to land. I’ve known Cody for several years, and his family, I just thought that was the opportunity I needed to go to.”
On AEW’s veteran performers: “I don’t think there’s a secret recipe of why these guys stay around. They take care of themselves. Guys like Chris Jericho — he reinvents himself all the time and does different things.”
