Rickey Shane Page on Signing With MLW, His Stint Working in AEW

– During a recent interview with Wrestling Epicenter, wrestler Rickey Shane Page discussed signing with MLW, his stint in AEW, and more. Below are some highlights:

RSP on signing with MLW: “Oh, it means everything! I mean, it means more than a lot. I’ve been at this a really long time and to get this contract is kind of a bit of validation for me and what I’ve dedicated my life to. It is pretty cool! I’m really excited!”

Rickey Shane Page on MLW having a lot of the classic ECW style: “For sure! I remember when ECW closed down in 2001 and MLW sprang up and kind of filled in that spot in 2003, 2004. I remember watching MLW Underground TV on the Sunshine Network. A friend of mine got a Satellite package and Sunshine Network was on there. There were a lot of the ECW guys on there but also a lot of what the indy scene became now was also there – Guys like Amazing Red, Christopher Daniels, Sonjay Dutt… Guys like that. So, I was a fan of MLW long before I ever got the chance to work there. But, it certainly still does have that ECW vibe to it with good story telling and hardcore matches. It really is right up my alley!”

On his stint in AEW: “It was awesome! I have a lot of friends there so I was fortunate to be put in some spots with some really great guys – Paul Wight, Matt Hardy, Jon Moxley, Darby Allin, Eddie Kingston… I had a lot of great matches there. I have nothing at all bad to say about my experience there. Tony Khan treated me well, he was always very nice. If you go and do extra work with WWE, you’re probably not going to get to talk to Vince McMahon, you know? But, Tony talked to me and was always open and very nice.”

Rickey Shane Page on his goals in AEW: “I put out a tweet and I have 3 goals. 1. Win a championship. 2. Get an action figure. And 3, and I’m going to change my third one. I said I felt that people slept on me. But, I think people are sleeping on MLW and I’m going to do my best to change that. I’m going to do my best to get as many eyeballs on MLW as I can. I want as many people tuning in as I can and as many asses in seats as I can!”
