RevPro Owner Andy Quildan Reflects On Decision To Not Air Leon Slater Bout On MyAEW

Andy Quildan discusses his decision to not air Leon Slater vs. Liam Slater on MyAEW.

The match, which took place at the RevPro anniversary event in August, was omitted from the broadcast on MyAEW. Fans originally speculated that TNA was behind this decision, but just a few days later, Quildan himself informed Dave Meltzer that he made the call to not air the match.

Speaking with POST Wrestling for a new interview, the RevPro owner said that his decision was a result of trying to make everyone’s life as easy as possible. With the benefit of hindsight, Quildan admits that he might’ve made the wrong call.

“I’m not sure, to be honest. I was trying to make everyone’s life as easy as possible. My role, as an independent wrestling promoter, has always been to get the match in the ring to try and have foresight. You try to envision every single problem that could occur before it becomes a problem. And the last thing we want is for anything to become an issue on the day, or post-show, or anything like that. And it’s crazy; with the benefit of hindsight, maybe we did the wrong thing, because that almost created more attention on the situation. I think, as we do with everything, we have to learn, we have to evolve, we have to adapt and move forward.”

Quildan continued on and said that he wants RevPro to maintain their good relationship with all promotions.

“I don’t want to be involved in any wrestling politics. I always say, we are open to do good business with anyone. I know in business it’s almost impossible, especially when there’s so much tribalism that goes around, but I want to be on the good side of everyone. And I want everyone to know that when they do business with us, we will do good business and we will try and do best by the company, and I don’t want anything to be received as, we’re trying to sneak people into places.”

The match is now available to watch for free on YouTube.
