While chatting with Fightful for a new interview, QT Marshall spoke about the way the fans see him in AEW.
“I don’t know why the fans, they don’t like me for whatever reason, but I’m okay with it. I lean into it. I enjoy it. I think being a good person behind the scenes and in my life, I think it’s fun to be able to take that out on the live audience and get those frustrations out. They have a lot of frustrations with a lot of the talent, so let them put it on me. I’m okay with it.”
“Man, Tony and I were just talking about this the other day. It started obviously with just being there because of being Cody’s assistant and then kind of falling into the TV stuff. But I think a lot of it was never pushing back and fighting against the rumors and innuendo of why I had the spots that I had. It’s like, ‘If that’s what you want to believe, I’m all for it. There’s nothing that I would hate more as a fan than a guy in a spot because he used his relationships to get there and didn’t really earn it. You know what I mean? So to me, that was like the easiest way to just lean into it and have fun with it. So as a fan, I completely understand why you wouldn’t like me and I try to do my best, not to give any reason to.”
