Gabe Kidd isn't mincing words about AEW.
2024 was a huge year for Gabe Kidd, partially due to the fact that he made his in-ring debut for both AEW and ROH. The Ring Of Honor appearances spotlighted Kidd in singles matches, as he wrestled stars like Anthony Henry and Angelico.
While chatting with Fightful for a new interview, Kidd dismissed his appearances in ROH, saying that he quickly beat up people and stole boxes of catering.
"I came in and beat people up in five minutes. Easy to me. Then I stole, well I didn’t steal, I was rightfully entitled to it. I took about five boxes of catering. That’s the best thing about AEW, their fucking catering. We get salmon rice bowls over there. I’ll take a nice little steak dinner for the next three days. Going there is easy for me. I’m used to doing tours. If I go there and do one show a week, come on. These guys can’t compete. You can’t put us on the same level. ‘They are a high level pro wrestling because they’re on TV.’ Are they? Fuck. New Japan is where the shit is. We’re on the road every single week. G1 finishes, a week later, we’re on the next tour. We keep moving. You can’t [compare] the two. We are a pro wrestling company. You are a TV show."
