Dan Lambert is having a blast playing the heel on AEW TV thus far, and he spoke about his experiences in a new interview. Lambert spoke with The Miami Herald’s Jim Varsallone and you can check out some highlights below, per Wrestling Inc:

On his AEW run so far: “Oh, I’m having the time of my life. I get to show up in front of a bunch of people, talk a bunch of s**t about people and things I don’t really like anyway. What could be better than that?”

On how he met Tony Khan: “I met Tony Khan a couple years ago. He was down in Miami meeting with Jorge Masvidal, talking about doing some business together, and Jorge’s manager mentioned, ‘Man, you guys ought to meet Dan.’ And Tony said he’d seen some of the stuff we did on Impact. He was like, ‘Yeah, why don’t you see if you can get him over here?’ So we met, just became friends. He loves football. He loves wrestling. Those are two of my favorite things. We hit it off, became friends, and I started going to some shows. When they came down to Miami, we started talking. He was like, ‘Hey, why don’t we do something here?’ And I said, ‘Okay, let’s give it a shot,’ and it went from there.”

Dan Lambert on portraying a heel in AEW: “They say characters are more effective when they show some of your true feelings and you project what’s what’s really inside. So I guess I’m kind of a jerk on the inside because I’m just saying what comes to my mind what I really think anyway, and if people don’t like it and boo it and they hate me as much as I hate them. I guess it’s a win-win.”
