QT Marshall Discusses Working as a Buffer Between Tony Khan & Scott D’Amore
– During a recent interview with The Takedown on SI.com, AEW’s QT Marshall discussed working as a liason between Tony Khan in AEW and Scott D’Amore for his new Maple Leaf Pro Wrestling promotion. Below are some highlights (via WrestlingInc.com):
Marshall on working as a buffer between Tony Khan and Scott D’Amore: “Tony’s so cool about it, and you know, one of the things that I bring to the table besides just being able to get into the ring is, you know, having that buffer between Scott D’Amore and Tony. And then I have to handle all of that, but you know, at the end of the day, like it just adds more work for me but it does help the company.”
On his belief in helping people even if you are scared they might take your spot: “Even if you are scared, then step up, right? I always say that, like, you’re not gonna take my job. We can hire as many backstage employees as we want, you know, I have a connection to Tony that no one else has.”
Maple Leaf Pro Wrestling recently held its debut shows last month. Multiple AEW wrestlers and talents worked the event. Marshall also worked the event, beating Bhupinder Gujjar.
QT Marshall is also scheduled for action at AEW Full Gear next weekend. He will face Big Boom! AJ of the Costco Guys during the Zero Hour pre-show portion of the show. The event is scheduled for Saturday, November 23 at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. It will be broadcast live on pay-per-view.
