Daniel Garcia comments on haters.
Since the inception of the company back in 2019, there has seemingly always been negative conversation around AEW from a specific side of the internet, with some people ragging on the promotion for doing things differently from other major companies. As of late, some talking heads have heavily criticized the company for their style of booking, ratings, and attendance.
While speaking to Uproxx for a recent interview, Daniel Garica commented on the subject, saying that there are some podcasts that try to make a new career off of hating on AEW.
“I do think that there is a lot of positive influences in the wrestling world when it comes to wrestling media. I think Busted Open is a net positive for wrestling. But then there’s other podcasts with people who are clearly just looking for clicks. Hating on AEW is a very popular thing and it gets people a lot of attention. And I feel like a lot of these things come from people who retired their jerseys. We never hung it in the rafters and we don’t even remember what their number was on their jerseys. A lot of those people are trying to get a new career off hating on AEW and hating on people who are trying to be successful. And it’s just, it’s sad to see, I hope I never have to go through that when I’m older.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Garcia said that he wants to main event pay-per-views and prove he can be a top guy in AEW. Learn more about those comments by clicking here.
