Paul Wight Teases Captain Insano At AEW All In

Paul Wight Captain Insano

Paul Wight opened up about the possibility of bringing Captain Insano to Wembley Stadium for AEW All In.

In March of 2022, Paul Wight confirmed that AEW had the rights to use the character Captain Insano, the hero of Adam Sandler’s protagonist character in 1998’s The Waterboy. Now, as All Elite Wrestling prepares to make its UK debut in front of a record-breaking crowd at AEW All In, he teased the possibility of bringing the iconic character to Wembley Stadium.

Speaking in a recent interview with DAZN Wrestling, the former Big Show confirmed that he will be in London for All In, but also dropped a huge hint that his alter ego might appear as well. He didn’t clarify whether or not he’d be stepping into the ring for active competition.

“I would have to say if I was a betting person because I’m not allowed to stooge, I’d say the odds are pretty good that I’ll be here at Wembley… If I’m a gambling man, which I’m not, I would bet very strongly that there’s a high, high probability that Captain Insano will probably make it to Wembley.” (h/t 411Mania)

Has Paul Wight Wrestled As Captain Insano In AEW?

While Captain Insano has yet to make his in-ring debut, he did make a blockbuster appearance on the November 16, 2022 episode of Dynamite as he appeared in a music video alongside The Acclaimed.

The episode saw AEW World Tag Team Champions The Acclaimed debut a music video that began with the team interviewing Insano about showing no mercy to the Ass Boys, Colten and Austin Gunn. The video continued with a phone call from two performers parodying Swerve Scott and Keith Lee as they called into the interview show, calling back to Insano mocking Sandler’s character in The Waterboy. Insano, Caster, and Bowens laughed at the phone call, saying there was a 0% chance that Swerve In Our Glory defeats The Acclaimed at Full Gear.

Continuing, the music video continued throwing barbs at Swerve in Our Glory ahead of their Full Gear clash. The full video can be viewed below.
