AEW star QT Marshall recently spoke with Cultaholic Wrestling about a wide range of topics, which included Marshall revealing a Vince McMahon-ism that he agrees with in terms of in-ring psychology. Check out what that viewpoint was in the highlights below.
On a psychology viewpoint that Vince McMahon has that he agrees with:
Everyone jokes about the ‘Vince-isms,’ but Pat Buck just came to AEW and we were talking about, when he was in WWE, some of the ‘Vince-isms.’ One of the things he said was, Vince doesn’t like when you grab someone and you just chuck them back in the ring and they roll in 30 times. I thought about it and I said, ‘You know what, that kind of makes sense.’ You’ve seen it for so many years, so it’s something you know, but it does make sense. If you get thrown in, you wouldn’t roll all the way to the other side. You would probably just pick the guy up, put them on the apron, and then get it and yank them into the middle of the ring. It’s more realistic.
Thinks he will start incorporating that into his matchups:
I thought about it, and as weird as that is to really harp on on your TV show, out of all the things you can harp on, I thought, ‘Maybe when I’m out there, I’m not gonna let someone do that to me. I’m either going to get myself back in the ring or I’m going to take something on the outside that is so rough that they have to pick me up on their back and place me onto the ring and push me in.’ I thought it would add more realism, and I could be completely wrong, but I do try to think about those things.
