AR Fox looks back on signing with All Elite Wrestling.
AR Fox is one of the premiere aerial athletes in the world of professional wrestling and is currently scheduled to take on Orange Cassidy on tonight’s AEW Dynamite with the International Championship on the line.
Speaking on Busted Open Radio, Fox recalled his AEW journey to a contract.
“I had a hand in training Shawn Dean. He’s reached some kind of position there and helps with the extra work. One day, he popped back in the school to give me a picture of him to put up on the wall. I asked him, ‘I don’t care where I have to go. Can I try? Can I do extra work?’ When they came to Atlanta, I went in for extra work. Then I started doing them on the road, flying myself to them and what I’ve been doing this whole time. Standing outside, showing up, and waiting to see what I’m going to get, if I get anything. I kept wondering, because I had maybe four matches at this point and only doing five minutes, but I was doing my biggest stuff and taking risks, really trying my hardest. After my fifth or sixth match, I kept asking people, ‘How many times did you wrestle on Dark before you got signed?’ Some people were telling me less numbers than me. ‘By like my third match.’ Some people were saying a little longer. I was like, ‘I just have to keep going.’ It was pretty costly for me to fly myself and hoping to get on. It was like six or seven that I did. One day, I was watching AEW, and my head was down. I heard my match was announced for Dynamite. I had already bought my ticket for that Wednesday due to Dark. I was watching AEW as a fan, just keeping up, and when I put my head down, that’s when I found out about my debut. Since then, they offered me the contract after that. I’m just trying to do whatever I can and as much as I can,”
