Alex Marvez had a ringside seat to the formation of AEW. He explains how his friendship with Tony Khan allowed him to see AEW develop, grow and launch from the ground up. Alex talks about his own offer to join AEW, and the moment he knew Tony Khan really had something in the new wrestling company. Alex remembers AEW’s inaugural show, 2019 Double or Nothing, how he prepared for it, and what the experience was really like for him personally. He describes his day-to-day, behind the scenes gig for AEW DYNAMITE and RAMPAGE, how he keeps track of AEW stats, talent backgrounds and storylines, what it’s like working with The Young Bucks, Chris Jericho, and Jon Moxley, and why Mr. Brodie Lee was the scariest interview Alex has ever conducted. Plus, Alex shares his introduction to wrestling as a kid, the first live show he attended, his favorite wrestlers, how he got started in wrestling journalism, and the secret to backstage teleporting.
