Former WWE Superstar and AEW Dark: Elevation commentator Paul Wight recently appeared on SiriusXM’s Busted Open Radio. The former Big Show would discuss a number of topics ahead of the AEW Double or Nothing PPV event that takes place this weekend.
One of the topics discussed was differences between WWE and AEW backstage and how All Elite feels a lot less pressured than working with Vince McMahon and WWE.
‘If you’ve never done wrestling before, you’re not going to have a preconceived idea of what’s right and what’s wrong,’ Wight began. ‘And then the guy that is running the entire show has what he wants presented put on air. And hell, the dude’s paying the bills.’
‘You can say what you want to, but that’s one of the things that’s a little bit different about Tony is Tony literally gives the talent freedom to sink or swim’ Wight would continue, comparing Tony Khan to WWE Chairman Vince McMahon.

‘He (Tony) gives them all the opportunities to get over and to be successful, but there’s no pressure to make a mistake” Wight would add.
‘We all make mistakes, it’s how we learn’ Paul Wight continued. ‘But being able to make a mistake, recognize the mistake and get over that mistake and move forward is very critical in a younger talent’s career I think.”
“Because sometimes they’ll hold onto something much longer than they should have” Wight claimed. “Having that freedom like ’˜okay I made a mistake. It’s not like I’m going to be taken out back and flogged for making a mistake. It’s a much more creative environment’ Wight concluded.
