AEW is much more than just a professional wrestling company.
AEW star Ethan Page recently appeared on 95.3 WDAE Tampa’s ‘Beckles And Reacher’ show and discussed the locker room mentality inside of the company. Page was asked if people in AEW regularly talk about things like the vaccine and the overall improvement and importance of mental health, and he explained how it was very prevalent and how it feels like one big family.
“It’s huge, we get emails and [have] meetings and we have staff that look out for people and we can reach out to people. There’s a large amount of people that we can use as resources for things like that. I would say AEW is a big family when it comes to the way we treat each other and think about each other.
“Just one quick story, after the Coffin Match where I essentially died on live television and Darby Allin dropped his entire body on me,” Page explained, “I came to the back and Tony Khan looked me into my eyes, shook my hand and gave me the next week off and told me to go spend it with my family. So, hard work gets rewarded and family time is valued by my boss and he has the best interest at heart when it comes to his talent.”
