AEW star and pro wrestling veteran Rocky Romero spoke with Fightful on a number of topics, including helping to bridge the gap between wrestling promotions.
Romero said, “No, for sure, for sure. I think that’s one of the unique things that I bring in my skillset that maybe others don’t have and plus I try to look at it as these relationships are important because in the end, it’s a business and it’s important to make money. It’s important to have projection for each company and each wrestler that’s involved in all this. So in the end, I think that that’s what’s important. If we keep the eye on the ball of what’s actually important, then don’t sweat the little stuff there’s always going to be issues. There’s always going to be problems. There’s going to be disagreements and that’s okay.”
On why it’s important to maintain those working relationships:
“But as long as we keep our eyes on the prize and see the bigger picture and another part of the big picture is WWE is a massive company and they’re only getting bigger and bigger now with the merger. So for the rest of us who are outside of that WWE bubble it makes sense to work together and kind of have this union between these companies who that have been around for 50+ years, like New Japan or CMLL and AEW has just been around for five years, but has in five years done some tremendous, tremendous things in the world, you know? So I think it all makes sense. I feel like I do want to speak on this.”
