Shawn Dean Recalls Je’Von Evans And Jackson Drake Having ‘The Best Three Minute Match’ He’s Ever Seen At Seminar

Shawn Dean recalls Je’Von Evans and Jackson Drake having an incredible three minute match while recruiting names for AEW Dark appearances.

Dean has served as the extra co-ordinator for AEW for several years now, and has been pivotal in the recruitment of several talents for AEW Dark appearances, including current WWE RAW and WWE NXT superstars Je’Von Evans and Jackson Drake.

While speaking to King Of The Rings in a new interview, Shawn Dean spoke about how he does seminars occasionally, recalling Je’Von Evans and Jackson Drake putting on the best three minute match he’d ever seen at a seminar.

“Sometimes I do seminars. With Je’Von Evans, Jackson Drake, I went down to Firestar Pro and said ‘Hey man, I can’t teach you how to wrestle, I’m still learning myself. I can’t teach you, but I do know what’s gonna happen if you come to TV. ‘You’re gonna get three minutes to call this match, three minutes to do the match, and we need to see what you can do. Whether it’s fundamentals, you do something well, just in three minutes, let me see how you’re a heel, face, tell me a quick little story. Let’s see it.’ Je’Von Evans and Jackson Drake had the best three-minute match I’ve ever seen in my life. They went crazy. When I say ‘went crazy’, I mean they did everything. They did moves, the ‘holy s**t’ moments, they did Canadian Destroyers, but it all made sense. I wasn’t offended by it, if you watch WWE Speed, it was like that. It was like WWE Speed before WWE Speed happened. They went crazy and I said ‘Man, I’m bringing both of you on TV.'”

Elsewhere in the same interview, Dean spoke about potentially one day jumping to WWE. You can read more about that here.
