In a recent appearance on the “Drinks With Johnny” podcast, AEW World Champion Swerve Strickland spoke about a wide range of topics. Here are the highlights:
His “Big Pressure” entrance theme song: “The craziest thing about AEW is that they never touched it. They were like ‘Nope, this is Swerve’s. He made this, he brought this to us. We’re just putting it out there.’”
Wrestlers having creative freedom in AEW: “I’d rather you let me fend for myself and create my own way than wait my turn for eight, 10 years that may never come until they pluck you like a toy into a machine.”
