AEW Star Loves Being An Absolute Lunatic
A veteran AEW wrestler enjoys the creativity that exists in the world of pro wrestling.
The fifth anniversary of AEW Dynamite was a celebration of five years of the top show in the company while also looking forward.
It was announced last week that All Elite Wrestling had agreed to a new three-year deal with Warner Bros. Discovery to continue airing Dynamite on TBS and Collision on TNT for at least three more years. The deal will see AEW receive about $555 million over three years for an average of about $185 million per year, which also includes a fourth-year option.
On that fifth anniversary of Dynamite show, Juice Robinson of the Bang Bang Gang was in action against “Hangman” Adam Page. While Juice failed to pick up a win, he put up a fight against Hangman, who won with a Buckshot Lariat.
After the match, Page tried to choke out Juice with a leather belt, but Juice’s friend Jay White made his return from injury and fought with Page. It should lead to a White-Page match.
Juice Robinson Enjoys Being A Lunatic In AEW
As a veteran wrestler who has worked a lot in WWE and Japan as well, Juice Robinson is enjoying his time in AEW. Juice’s wife is the former AEW Women’s World Champion, who is one of the most interesting characters in the company. Robinson is also a unique character, which he spoke about with CBS Sports’ Shakiel Mahjouri (via Shak Wrestling).
“I kind of let it all hang out, try to not keep myself in any particular lane. I do feel, I think of doing something real crazy, but I keep it on the rails, and I believe that’s the fine line. I said a little earlier today that it feels like I’m hanging off the cliff of sanity by a thread. That is truly how I feel.”
“That’s how I want to feel bell-to-bell because pro wrestling hurts. I’ve gotten beaten to hell for almost 20 years, so to not answer the bell and go become an absolute lunatic…the one place where you can be a lunatic is in pro wrestling. I love it, and that’s why I do it. I like to get crazy.”
Next up for AEW on the PPV calendar is WrestleDream taking place this Saturday, October 12th from Tacoma, Washington with Jon Moxley challenging Bryan Danielson for the AEW World Title in the main event.
