Blue Meanie is a Philadelphia native. As is the norm in Tony Khan’s company, they place great emphasis on highlighting hometown heroes. During AEW Dark: Elevation, he walked out to a great ovation during a match between Crowbar and Joey Janela.
In an interview with Inside The Ropes, the former WWE star explained that while he might be jumping the gun in predicting All Elite Wrestling’s culture after just one show, the backstage atmosphere is similar to Paul Heyman’s old promotion.
Blue Meanie said many positive things about AEW
The former ECW Superstar called All Elite Wrestling a great place to work in, stating that while the atmosphere was professional, there was a casual air about it as well.
AEW has given many hometown heroes some great moments. Britt Baker was presented as a star in Pittsburgh. Lance Archer and Ricky Starks lifted championships in their hometown of Texas. Brian Pillman Jr. and Jon Moxley stood tall when the company toured Cincinnati. Even a bonafide heel like MJF was treated like a megastar when the company went to Long Island.
If Blue Meanie’s words are anything to go by, it won’t be surprising to see the promotion put out stellar matches repeatedly because of the camaraderie between superstars.
