John Silver thought he would be fired from AEW
John Silver spoke about how a number of AEW stars were hanging out with Tony Khan after a Jacksonville Jaguars game. Silver then revealed that Chuck Taylor was drunk and throwing mustard packets at him. He decided to throw packets back at Chuck Taylor who ducked and a mustard packet ended up hitting Tony Khan in the face. Silver said he thought his AEW career may have been over and revealed that he almost started crying:
After the Jaguars football game, we were all hanging out. Chuck Taylor was drunk, of course. He has a level when he’s ‘fun Chuck Taylor’ and then he gets ‘really annoying Chuck Taylor.’ So, he’s taking mustard packets and pegging me with them. Of course, I’m like, ‘screw this guy,’ I start launching them back at Chuck, and then he ducks. I hit Tony [Khan] in the face with the mustard packet. Once that happened, I’m like, ‘Alright guys, nice knowing you, I’m done here. It was a good run.’ He actually wasn’t that angry. I almost started crying. H/T: 411 Mania
