Michael Mansury has been hired as AEW’s new Senior Vice President and Co-Executive Producer, and Arn Anderson has heard about it and is a great fan.
As we revealed earlier this week, the former vice president of global television production for WWE, Michael Mansury, has joined All Elite Wrestling,
In the most recent episode of his “Ask Arn Anything” podcast on AdFreeShows, Arn discussed working for Mansury in the WWE and the reasons Tony Khan should promote him. He said:
“I like Mike, [I] always got along with Mike. Nice guy. I imagine he’s wanted to learn the business even more, or he wouldn’t still be around. With [the] two years we were shut down, I don’t know what a lot of people did, but some people in this business ended up not having anywhere to go.”
Arn Anderson Turns Down Backstage Role
Recently on the ARN podcast saw the legendary Arn Anderson hold a Q&A with his listeners, where The Enforcer discussed why he has no desire of working in the AEW talent relations department, citing his past office work in WCW and WWE as the primary reason. Check out Arn’s full thoughts on the subject below.
Why he has no desire to work in talent relations at AEW:
No [I would not want to work in Talent Relations for AEW]. I don’t want to be responsible for anything that’s outside of my control. I can help Brock [Anderson] and help teach him what to do, what not to do within reason.
I don’t want him to be a clone of what I think. Wrestling should be coming from him. I want him to figure that out but I can certainly control that. Like I said, I spent probably five or six years working in the office with WCW and then I was 19 years with WWE and it just — here’s the thing, don’t have me have to be responsible for something and not give me any power, because that’s not fair.
