Ace Steel would ask for advice.
In a previous interview, Tully Blanchard claimed that no one in AEW would ask him or Arn Anderson for advice.
Ace Steel worked as a producer in AEW for less than a year in 2022, but during his time as a producer, he says he would speak to Arn and Tully.
"Amazing. Amazing to me," Steel said when Tully's comments were brought up in an interview with Rip Rogers. "You know what's funny? Not that he's going to remember, because I was a producer, I went right up to him when I got to know him face to face a little, same with Arn, I know Arn much better, but I just started talking to Tully about Harley [Harley Race] because I spent a lot of time with Harley. Many years. I'm always fascinated to hear about what Harley was like back in the day. I have a version of Harley that I know, but the Harley that walked into the dressing room in the 70s and 80s, I want to know about that Harley. Tully was like, 'I never worked Harley, but I reffed a match of his with Dory [Dory Funk].' 100% what Tully is saying. Nobody goes up to him. I'd go up to Arn and ask him...why wouldn't I talk to Arn Anderson about producing a match? The dude produced for 20+ years after he retired. 'Hey Arn, I got four minutes, what do I do here? I'm thinking this.' You'd be ridiculous not to. That's still my opinion. Higher learning. Why wouldn't you just go and ask a question, because you're too good? Piss on that."
Steel was fired after a backstage incident at AEW All Out 2022. He returned in a remote capacity, but was released in September.
Elsewhere during the interview, Steel commented on his time as a coach at the WWE Performance Center. You can find his full comments by clicking here.
