Ben Carter On Learning From Seth Rollins, Working With Tony Khan In AEW, His Future In Wrestling

In a recent appearance on The Wrestling Inc. Daily, Ben Carter discussed training under Seth Rollins, working with Tony Khan in AEW, his future in wrestling, and much more. Here are some of the highlights:

On training at the Black and Brave Wrestling Academy under the guidance of Seth Rollins and Marek Brave: “They absolutely do not just slap a name on the school, and that’s it. They’re very involved with everything, and that was something that really was very cool, being a part of the training program, because there was those kind of queries of how involved was Rollins, in particular, going to be with the schedule, but I think he missed the first two weeks because he was in Saudi Arabia on a European tour. And then the rest of the 10 weeks, he didn’t miss a single training session. It still doesn’t feel real to me that I get to be under those guy’s learning tree, and I could hit them up literally at any point for advice or even to work out with, but it’s great. I can’t say enough good things about it.

“Anything that Seth will tell you, Marek will tell you and then some. Marek’s just got such a good brain for the business, but the biggest thing that I learned from being at the school, which I think that you’ll find it tough to find somewhere else in the country that gives you that kind of insight, is that is the psychology behind wrestling. I look at the matches I had before I graduated from Black and Brave after, and my god, it’s like night and day in terms of things making sense and as I said, the psychology behind it. So I think that’s the biggest takeaway that I’ve had from it. I feel so much more of a complete performer rather than just a guy that can do flippy stuff.”

On working with Tony Khan in AEW: “Tony’s great. Tony is like so easy to talk to, and it’s crazy that he’s like the equivalent of like Vince [McMahon] for AEW. He’s so accessible, and obviously, I’m a soccer fan, and he owns Fulham Football Club. So I’m out here just randomly having a soccer chat with him about players that he signed, congratulating him on players and talking about my team vs. his team, and he was giving me some proper cool insight. So he’s so easy to talk to. Can’t say enough good words about him as well. So yeah, he’s great.”

On his future in wrestling: “So if I’m perfectly honest, I haven’t a clue. No clue. I think whatever comes next, I think it’s going to be a lot of fun, and it’s going to be all kinds of what I’ve ever really wanted. It’s all been just such a crazy experience, but in terms of what comes next man, I can’t really disclose anything because I don’t know. So I guess you guys will have to stay tuned.”
