Current AEW and former WWE star Paul Wight (Big Show) has commented on Vince McMahon’s reaction to AEW All In at London’s Wembley Stadium.
As someone who worked with McMahon for so long, if anyone knows how McMahon would be reacting to today’s big AEW event, Paul Wight is someone who’s on that list.
Speaking with Inside The Ropes, Wight said:
“Oh, well, I think he’s pissed. I think he’s absolutely pissed, but he’s pissed in a good way.
“He’s the type that likes competition. He likes that challenge. Vince (has) very much (an) animal, jungle-type mentality.
“Vince is a guy that thrives on competition or thrives on doing new things, thrives on being the best in his mind at what he does, so when competition steps up, that fires Vince up more than anything.
“The worst thing that can happen to Vince McMahon is to be bored, monotonous, you know? If he’s got competition, it fires him up to be better, which is a win for the fans because they’ll get a better product, and it’s good for us because we produce a better product, too.”
There had been discussions for Paul Wight to actually wrestle at All In, but that didn’t come to fruition.
According to a report from Fightful Select, a trios match with Paul Wight as Captain Insano teaming with Matt & Jeff Hardy (or someone else instead of Jeff) against Jay Lethal, Jeff Jarrett and Satnam Singh had been discussed.
However, Jeff Hardy wouldn’t be able to get into the UK, and Singh reportedly may have had complications doing so as well.
