Aron Stevens Discusses His Friendship With Tim Storm, Praises Storm’s Tan

Aron Stevens recently took some time to praise his fellow NWA star Tim Storm, weighed in on their friendship and Storm’s tan. Stevens spoke with Fightful’s Sean Ross Sapp for a new interview and a couple of highlights are below:

On his friendship with Storm: “Because Tim is endearing. That’s the thing. Tim is one of my closest friends in the business, by the way, now. Very blessed to call him a friend. Before I met him, I would keep up with NWA. There was Instagram and they did a good job of telling their story of Ten Pounds of Gold. I was just like, ‘This guy, Tim, there’s just something about him that is endearing.’ Because it’s honest. He told his story. He looks the part. Tim’s a solid guy. I wouldn’t want to try him. He looks the part. He understands who he is and he just is. He has the best tan in the business by far.”

On Storm’s tan: “Apparently he has a good base tan and he got his base tan, when it comes for shows, he’ll tan a little more. But the thing about Tim, he’s consistent with it, which is the thing. There’s have been times where Thom Latimer has walked in, like when Tim’s not there—it’s like perspective. You know how like everyone’s teeth looks white until you put them against something white? Well, it’s the same thing. Thom has walked into the locker room and we’re all going, ‘Ooh, wait a minute.’ ‘Cause there’s a tan competition that we all take part in. It’s like, I’m not in the running. Neither is Trevor or Tyrus. But it felt like someone will come in tanned and try to challenge Tim. I forget where this was. Might have been Nashville, but Thom Latimer comes walking in and we’re like, ‘Uh-oh. You may have Tim.’ They were taking pictures earlier and he had this silver gear on, so he looked even tanner and we’re going, ‘Ooh, this is gonna be a first,’ right? Tim came walking in, in his blue or purple suit jacket, and there’s Thom, oiled up, greased up with the silver—and he stood next to Tim, and Tim still had him. I will say this—at 75, he will probably still have the better tan than any one of us.”
