Scott Garland Weighs In On Potentially Wrestling In AEW

Scott Garland, the former Scotty 2 Hotty, recently discussed the notion of wrestling in AEW where he works as a coach and producer. Garland worked a dark match before AEW Dynamite last month, and he appeared on the latest episode of AEW Unrestricted where he talked about his potential in-ring future there. You can see some highlights below, per Fightful:

On potentially appearing on AEW TV as a wrestler: “I mean you know, it was talked about right. The idea is exciting to me, I just want it to be for the right reason, I want it to be for the right thing.”

On not wanting to return full-time to the ring: “I want to elevate somebody, I want to elevate the show, create a moment, I don’t want it to just be a cold match if we do it. I don’t want to just go out there and have a match. It has to be the right thing. My first job here is to be a coach and producer, I don’t want to split my time doing both, I feel like it hurts my job as a producer. If there is the right thing, and it can make the show better or if I can help bring somebody up, I think that’s the way to use it and the way to do it. I don’t want to be going out there every week and be thinking about the match I’m going to have while producing a live segment on Dynamite. I feel like that would hurt my job as a producer.”
