RICOCHET SAYS HE TRIED TO QUIT WWE & THAT IT HURT HIS LEGACY, BRODY KING RAISES TONS OF MONEY FOR GREAT CAUSE, SCHAMBERGER, DC AND MORE AEW NEWS

Our friends at ProWrestlingTees.com are holding a 30% off sale on Rob Schamberger art using code ROB30.

AEW National Champion Ricochet was all over Las Vegas media yesterday with appearances on the ABC, FOX and NBC affiliates. 

He also made a lot of waves today by writing on social media that the worst thing that happened to his wrestling "legacy" was his WWE main roster call up, describing that time period as killing his passion for pro wrestling and stating the company did the same to Shinsuke Nakamura, Finn Balor, Apollo Crews and others.  When asked by a fan why wrestlers still go there, Ricochet responded, "Because it was a childhood dream. So they want to see for themselves. Plus, lots of people like fame. And it is the biggest company so you'll be more "famous."  He also noted that he tried to quit the company but they wouldn't give him his release, writing, "They took my love of pro wrestling away. I'll never forget how I felt walking into work every week. And that platform was only to make other look good at my expense. And I told them, I'd rather quit and go back to the indies and make whatever I'd make there than to come back next week - And because of that THEN they made me IC and didn't grant me my release."

For fans attending tonight's Las Vegas event, AEW announced on social media that the first five fans to show off a copy of the AEW x DC Comic at the merchandise stand will receive a copy signed by an AEW talent.

Brody King announced:

AEW will run El Paso, Texas on 3/4.
