I had done what I was going to do [at Impact Wrestling]. It kind of hurt, it hurt me to go. I knew my time there was over before I was going to AEW. I knew intuitively, this is done. I've done what I can do, it's been five and a half years. I felt creatively burnt out and they need new creative blood in the company to get it propelled.

Mostly what I do is I format the shows and I organize information and communicate. It was never supposed to be like a creative role. Like I said, I was burnt out at Impact, I was burnt out writing wrestling television every week.
My job at AEW really doesn't involve me writing wrestling television. It's far more admin

Wait so the randoms on twitter blaming him for booking issues were wrong?
