Kevin Thorn thinks AEW has a lot of momentum after All Out 2021
Kevin Thorn also spoke about how a few of his co-workers he wasn't aware were wrestling fans, boasted about good AEW All Out 2021 was.
He added that this is a testament to the wrestling business getting people talking again, just like the Monday Night Wars in the late 90s. Furthermore, Thorn also praised AEW's roster, saying they have a lot of talented youngsters who don't hesitate before taking risks in the ring.
"I watch AEW a little bit, here and there. I think they have a great product. When guys in my office who I didn't even know were wrestling fans came up to me on Monday, saying, "Did you see that pay-per-view, it was so awesome!" So that tells me the wrestling business is getting people talking again. That's like when I joined the wrestling business around the Monday Night Wars. It's one of those things that's exciting. They got a lot of young, talented guys. I think they take a lot of risks," said Kevin Thorn.
There's no arguing that AEW All Out 2021 was one of the best pay-per-views of the year, and fans can see the fallout at this week's AEW Dynamite.
