– During a recent appearance on Busted Open Radio, Aron Stevens on his managerial role of Blunt Force Trauma in NWA. Below are some highlights (via WrestlingInc.com):
Aron Stevens on taking a managerial role: “It just kind of fell in where I was managing Rodney Mack. So again, I’m going to do that to the best of my ability, and Billy [Corgan – NWA’s owner] said, ‘Hey, I think you should try being a manager.’ ‘Okay.’ I’m having a blast with it.”
Stevens’ favorite managers in wrestling: “Bobby Heenan, I think he’s incredible … Jim Cornette because of OVW [Ohio Valley Wrestling] and being around him. And you may laugh at this one, but one of my favorite managers of all time was the ‘Doctor of Style’ Slick. He does not get the credit he deserves just for being as good as he was, but he was in the era where you had Heenan, [Lou] Albano, so many others. I mean, Mount Rushmore-type managers, but I was always a fan of Slick, and I tried to just incorporate that, even if it was just how he moves and stuff. So yeah, I’m a big fan of him.”
