Jack Evans is grateful for the opportunity he had during his All Elite Wrestling run, despite it not ending the way he’d hoped it would.
Evans recently spoke with PWMania.com about his wrestling career, which included a run in AEW from May 2019 until April 2022. Evans’ contract was not renewed with AEW, and he said that the experience continues to motivate him now.
“Honestly, one of the things that has motivated me recently was my AEW stint. I didn’t do as well there as I could’ve, but nonetheless, I was grateful for the experience. I don’t know how likely it is that I’ll be back there,” Evans pointed out, “even though I would love to. It’s a very sought-after promotion that everyone’s trying to go to.
“One of the things that I say is just give me the mic. People back in the day used to be like “you hear this guy talk?” Thing is, especially if I’m a heel, I don’t wanna just come off burying the faces, you know?”
Jack Evans also spoke about his current run, which includes independent appearances and IMPACT Wrestling.
“After I got released from AEW, I got back on the indies and I’m just grinding it out. Tomorrow, I’ll be wrestling on Impact. I just did MCW recently too. Not a lot of people realize that MCW has been around a long time, which is impressive for an indy promotion. At the time when they were established, not many indies would last that long; it was rare. Most would be a one-off show and that’s it. MCW has a business model that makes it profitable.
A lot of indy promoters back then would promote a supercard with a lot of big names that would cost $50K and they’d have to sell a bunch of tickets to try to get their money back. Whereas MCW just focused on the local fanbase and put on consistently good shows and would have the occasional big guy to fly in. Nowadays, people are definitely bigger merch buyers now. And you also have IWTV and Fite TV and a lot of extra ways to get revenue for a promotion. Plus, indy promoters realize that these supercards don’t work. They need good local talent and consistency.”
