L’entrevue de CM Punk avec Ariel Helwani – avec quelques commentaires liés à la AEW – continue de susciter des réactions.
Après la promo enflammée d’Adam Copeland hier à Dynamite, c’est au tour de Cody Rhodes d’exprimer son point de vue sur la AEW.
C’est encore une fois Helwani qui était l’interviewer.
Voici quelques faits saillants.
– Rhodes est en désaccord avec Punk lorsqu’il dit que Tony Khan n’est pas un vrai “boss”.
Il est fier d’avoir été parmi les fondateurs de la AEW. Rhodes soutient que la AEW a sa raison d’exister et joue un rôle majeur dans l’industrie de la lutte.
“That’s his assessment. It’s not my assessment. It’s important for me to remind people that I am so proud of what me, Matt, Nick, Kenny, Tony, Bernie, Brandi, Dana, and Chris. I name all these people because I was in those meetings. As much as the internet will try to spin a narrative one way. If one of those people had not been at that start-up level, the company would not have happened. I am so proud of what was created. I am so insanely proud of what it does for the industry overall, for wrestlers and their well-being, and their ability to feed their families. I have an unbelievable love for so many people in that locker room, including the Bucks and Kenny. We’re bonded forever over this thing that we did. It’s not my assessment. In my time there, the infrastructure was just being built up. We were trying new things and doing new things. It was a start-up company. A big-time start-up company, but a start-up company. I wish them nothing but the best.”
– Rhodes croit que le conflit entre Punk et The Elite est avant tout un grand manque de communication. Il aime tout autant Punk que Kenny Omega et The Young Bucks.
“I don’t think I foresaw any of those issues. I did kind of predict, it was unrelated to those guys, but I do remember predicting that there were going to be certain guys who had been there, who wanted to wave the banner, ‘Hey, you’ve not been here,’ and then brand new guys, you always need fresh blood, like Punk coming back to WWE is a great call. I think those always would mesh. I just think what happened there is a ton of misunderstanding, a ton of miscommunication. You will see on indies and wrestlers that aren’t properly trained. I’m not talking about bullying etiquette, but you do need to have a little old school in you to know the collaborative-ness of what this is. I think they were ships in the night. I love Matt, Nick, and Kenny, and I love CM Punk. I don’t know how, but I do. I’m happy for everyone involved. I think it was a ships in the night thing. I wasn’t there though.”
