Ricky Steamboat feels like AEW is a ‘first class operation’.
Steamboat was recently part of AEW’s Blood And Guts edition of AEW Dynamite earlier this week, featuring on television in a segment with FTR where the tag team would attack the legend. Now, Steamboat has spoken about his most recent appearance with the company.
While speaking to Bill Apter in a new interview, Ricky Steamboat was asked about his experience backstage at Dynamite, noting that he feels AEW is the ‘first class operation’.
“The first class operation, I think. I know Tony Khan does a lot for the boys. His father owns the Jacksonville Jags. When I first talked to Tony a few years back, he said that he wanted of the wrestlers like the way his dad does football players. That is with any kind of retirement plans or hospitalization coverage and stuff like that. As you know, Bill, we never had any of that. Just talking to a few of the wrestlers backstage, they say, ‘yeah, he takes care of us.’ It’s real good. I do question some of the storylines that they like to you know, bring forward.”
