Quildan also opened up about his dealings with Ring of Honor pre-Tony Khan.
There have been multiple talents from All Elite Wrestling that have competed for Andy Quildan’s Revolution Pro Wrestling in the UK.
The relationship between the two sides was discussed by Quildan as he was interviewed by Markus Gronemann. He shared that the partnership is not an official one, but they respect each other and work alongside one another.
And the AEW relationship, it’s not an official relationship. I respect Tony (Khan) a lot, I like Tony. I’d say I consider Tony a friend. Very friendly every time I see him. Obviously, he’s so busy. It’s not like I call him up for hour-long chats, and you know, I’m sure we could have great chats because, you know, Tony obviously runs Fulham and Fulham have obviously just signed Emile Smith Rowe from Arsenal and just took Reiss Nelson from Arsenal on loan so I’m sure we could have a lot of fútbol conversation as well. As well as professional wrestling. When we get to American football though, I’m done. I have no idea. But yeah, so it’s not really an official relationship with AEW but it’s kind of like, we work alongside each other and we’re respectful of one another. Tony knows and his team knows that if they need anything, all they’ve got do is ask, and occasionally, I might ask for a favor from them and hope that they realize that I’m more than happy to do as many favors for them as they like. So yeah, it’s nothing official but we work alongside each other nicely and that’s all you can ask for and who knows what the future holds for any of this? Apart from the fact that I remain determined to keep pushing this thing forward.
Quildan looked back at his past dealings with Ring of Honor pre-Tony Khan. He feels it was never a mutually beneficial relationship.
He stated that it was always about what could RevPro do for them. Quildan added that it’s a shame because he thought the two sides were a good fit.
We’ve dabbled with Ring of Honor. With Ring of Honor before, it was never a two-side. It was, what can we do for them? They’d drop our name here and there but it was never a two-sided relationship. It was run by a business guy, you know? From Sinclair, Greg (Gilleland). He wasn’t a wrestling guy, he wasn’t interested — you know? We got along with each other. He was a nice guy. We could’ve explored so many avenues in our relationship but we never did. I always think that was a bit of a shame, because I feel like we were definitely a good fit for one another, and especially given the fact, like I said, we were able to independently book a lot of Ring of Honor talent. Why not make it official? So that was a shame.
On the lead-up to MJF versus Will Ospreay at AEW All In, MJF defended the American Championship in RevPro against Michael Oku. There was a post-match run-in from Ospreay.
