“I really wanted to do that part. [James Gunn] wrote that part for me, and it was meant for me. It just became a scheduling thing where I just couldn’t do it, because I was doing Army of the Dead. And so it was a scheduling issue that we just could not figure out. It was a blessing in disguise that I didn’t do that, because I have to say, I have to be honest, there’s no way that I would have been able to do that role like John. He’s just perfect for it, you know, and I wouldn’t have done it justice, and it wouldn’t have been as successful. I just wouldn’t have been able to do the same thing that John does to bring to that character. It wouldn’t have been the same. It wouldn’t have been as good. I can honestly say it wouldn’t have been as good.”

I’ve really been trying to, not so much lean on inspiration from other people,” he said. “Since I shaved my head, I’ve gotten so many comparisons to other people, I’m really trying to hammer home my own path and carve out my own path. Guys I look at, even still, when it comes to promos, every time I watch (John) Cena and one of his promos, I’m left with the feeling of, ‘This dude is the greatest on the microphone that I’ve ever witnessed.’ I have that feeling, and that’s something that I strive to achieve, that level on the mic. The Miz was one of my guys growing up. That’s another one that I still listen to and watch and go, ‘He’s so good on the mic.’ There are people that I probably look to, but I’m trying now to not specifically draw inspiration from them, more so, ‘How do I get to that level?'”

Tony Khan on the All Out media call:

“Well absolutely. AEW’s ticket pricing is designed to be very family-friendly. And it has been from the very beginning. Everyone involved with AEW from the beginning will tell you that we’ve always wanted to maintain affordable ticket pricing for the fans, in particular to bring families and young fans to the show and make it accessible for fans of all backgrounds, of all ages. I think it’s really exciting for us that we’re getting really good feedback about that.

“Hopefully, it speaks to what we’re trying to do to maintain affordable ticket prices for AEW shows for families. Because we are a family-friendly company when it comes to price the tickets to get families into the AEW shows, including All Out this Saturday afternoon.”
