Christopher Daniels reflects on his backstage position in All Elite Wrestling.
Daniels has been the head of talent relations in All Elite Wrestling, as well as an on screen EVP during Kenny Omega's time away from AEW, all while maintaining an active wrestling career in the promotion also.
While speaking to Copper Age Gold at GalaxyCon, Daniels discussed how he got his backstage role and becoming a producer backstage in AEW.
"Well, I was very fortunate. When AEW first came around, we knew that there was going to be a lot of people We were building something from the ground up. So at the very beginning, Matt Jackson and Nick Jackson told Tony Khan that they wanted me to be the head of talent relations because they felt like I had the respect of all the wrestlers that we would probably engage with over the course of building the roster. So that was part of the transition for me from going into the ring to behind the scenes. Since that time I've become a producer. I've been very fortunate enough to work with a lot of the best wrestlers on the roster now. So it's been very fun to have some of the most talented wrestlers on our roster come to me for advice and ideas. It means a lot to me that I have their respect for that respect in that way as well."
