Excalibur recently weighed in on his relationship with his AEW broadcast partners in Taz and Ian Riccaboni. The AEW commentator touched on the topic on a recent episode of AEW Unrestricted, and you can see highlights below (per Wrestling Inc):

On his friendship with Taz: “Taz has become, at least in my opinion, a good friend. I don’t know if you had him on here, what he would say, but I don’t want to put words in his mouth. But, to me, somebody that is, I mean, not only a friend but a mentor as well. The relationship that we had that kind of really blossomed on [AEW] ‘Dark,’ I don’t think it would have been possible without the time we spent in Jacksonville where we would be filming, and Taz and I would be commentating ‘Dark’ matches until 3-3:30 in the morning.”

On working with Ian Riccaboni: “Ian and I are both play-by-play guys and it’s tough because as a play-by-play guy, you always want to take the lead, but I think when he and I worked together, we have a good rhythm. It’s like playing with two point guards.”
