Will add any other newsworthy bits in this thread. -ep
Kenny says he’s producing multiple segments per show and often ends up prioritizing his own stuff last. Says the women’s division is being produced/managed by himself, Brandi, and now Awesome Kong and Dustin Rhodes.
Kenny says he has de-emphasized himself as far as W-L & he thinks that’s the right move based on how well Jericho & Moxley & the tag division are doing. Says he is focusing on challenging himself like with the lights-out match & new opponents like Janela he couldn’t do elsewhere
Says they don’t have a performance center or dojo so “we have not shut the door on any outside bookings” and they would be open to greener talent going on like tours of Japan to get more ring time.
Says he is always fighting for the women to get more time on Dynamite and cites the above-mentioned women’s tag titles as a route to getting multiple women’s storylines on TV.
Suggests he and Gedo had a mutual trust where he was able to book his own angles and a lot of the issues with New Japan weren’t with people on the wrestling side of things but were coming from higher up the corporate ladder.
Minimizes the ‘war’ with NXT and said he’s glad they’re putting on a good show and he understands that AEW may not be every demographic’s cup of tea in direct comparison. He recently started checking out both NXT and Impact and thought both were really good.
Dave brings up Cornette and Kenny says there’s no place for that kind of line nowadays and there’s no place for his kind of carnie stuff anymore. Says his way of connecting to people in wrestling is too negative and toxic for the contemporary business.
Jim asks for the video game on Switch. Kenny says making it available on the Switch - for example - would be of the utmost importance. Basically no other details and no timeline so I would not expect concrete news in the near future.
