Marko Stunt On His Favorite AEW Moments “I Got To Be In Tully Blanchard’s Last Match, That Was Cool To Me””

Marko Stunt’s time in professional wrestling came to an end after announcing his retirement in November of 2024. However, the former AEW star did get an opportunity to step into the ring with some of professional wrestling’s greatest competitors, including Brodie Lee and Four Horsemen member Tully Blanchard.

“There are a few actually (favorite AEW matches/moments). One of them was getting to wrestle Brodie Lee, that was super cool. He kind of requested that to Tony for me to be one of his first opponents there in AEW, he beat the hell out of me and that was great. That kind of put me and Brodie on a friendship level, we texted and stuff after the fact…continuously. We would hang out backstage, it was never like we were best friends, going out to eat all the time,” Stunt said on Submission Radio. “The camaraderie we gained by working out together was great, I loved being with Jurassic Express and tagging with them. Some of my favorites were when we wrestled The Elite (Kenny Omega & The Young Bucks) because we were constantly learning, they are so good at their craft, they know what they were doing. They know how to get the crowd involved and everything, that is something I am huge on…crowd involvement. If you don’t have the fans behind you, you don’t have nothing in my opinion. I got to be in Tully Blanchard’s last match, that was cool to me.”

Stunt’s final match in the promotion came against then AEW TNT Champion Jack Perry, who has since reformed Jurassic Express with Luchasaurus. Marko has now transitioned from professional wrestling to being a car salesman, but he also worked another job before selling automobiles.

“I wasn’t going to (become a car salesman), I was just working little jobs to be honest with you. I was waiting tables just to get by and everything, but that wasn’t going to cut it for me. I was driving down the road and I didn’t know of they were hiring or anything (the car dealership), I went and talked with the general manager, he cam from a restaurant background and succeeded and everything,” says Stunt. “They knew about me being from AEW at one point, they saw how I deal with people and interact with them, they took a chance with me. I’m pretty new and everything, selling cars on the floor. I was number three for the month last month, which was my first month.”

The former AEW star does have one interesting edge over his co-workers at the car dealership, which is that both his co-workers and potential customers still remember him from his days as a pro wrestler.

“It happens a couple times a week actually. Even if they are not working with me in particular, they notice me and they come up and I’ve taken a few pictures with them. I’ve worked with quite a few people that knew me and they say ‘you look so familiar, were you ever on TV? I knew it.’ I have wrestling figures at my desk anyways, just to decorate my desk and everything. That happens all the time, more than I think it would. It is super cool to me,” says Stunt.

Stunt’s work as a car salesman has gone viral after the former AEW star appeared in a commercial for Homer Skelton Ford.
