🎧 Listen to the full episode on What Happened When with Tony Schiavone
Mystico in AEW
I think Mystico going back to what your question is, I think it's going to be huge for us. I think Tony Khan understands who Mystico is. I think he knows, obviously, how to utilize him in the best way possible.
Backstage etiquette
I've witnessed it a lot and I don't think I've really ever been guilty of it as much as I've seen where somebody like, 'I'm gonna do this and then you have to sell like this.' And I'm thinking, if you said that to me, you're going to get a right fist to the face and then you sell however I hit you.
AEW Revolution 2026
What I'll remember last night for is the one thing that's going to stick in my mind is Hangman at the end lunging or falling forward and blooding up the lens of the camera.
QT Marshall vs. Paul Walter Hauser match
I pitched All In in Texas, and he [Tony Khan] was like, 'No, no, no, we gotta...' I said, 'Okay.' I wanted it to be Ring of Honor. I wanted it to be in the ECW arena.
QT Marshall's AEW status
I'm not a contracted wrestler anymore. So every time I wrestle, I have this, you know, just like a local talent, I got to fill out paperwork and I always forget. I always do it on the backend.
Tony Khan's leadership
Whenever I see that [criticism of Tony Khan], I get really offended because I see the passion and I see the hard work that he puts into this stuff. And again, because he calls me late hours and I could just see that this is what he really loves.
1FW promotion
I've obviously sunk a little bit of money into it, but maybe a lot of money. But it's, I'm very, I can't be more thrilled, especially the fact that we have weekly television on Peachtree Sports Network and then also on Triller TV for free worldwide.
QT Marshall vs. Paul Walter Hauser
I'm not a hugger. I'm not a hugger. There you go. Right on the head. And then I gave him the ring, you know, let him soak it up. And these people were going crazy for him. And I mean, I think for him, as good of an actor as he is, I think these emotions that he's showing right here were a hundred percent real.
The Rizzler/AEW Zero Hour
I don't think the world's ready for the Rizzler. You know, he's still the big draw. It is what it is.
QT Marshall's role in AEW
I often say that if Tony Khan's the Godfather, you're Luca Brasi. You know how about that? And Luca Brasi, we're having trouble, send Luca Brasi out to take care of him.
Cagematch reviews
I only have to put CAG in my phone and it comes right up. I like reading the reviews of me because they're so mean. I just like reading them and I like thinking, man, I wish I had the time to sit there and write all of these notes about somebody else's life.
