Insane work ethic, pure passion, awesome talent and a legitimate desire to succeed. That’s what you are brother… I’m gonna miss you! You will be a winner no matter what you do. — https://t.co/7KNh7WoneS

A man who unselfishly fought for many, including myself, behind closed doors and whom is always the utmost professional when the bell rings.

I’m proud to call this man a friend. The good ones always land on their feet, and I’m excited for his next chapter.@QTMarshall https://t.co/Q8REGVUkWs

— Shawn Spears (@ShawnSpears) November 28, 2023

When QT was promoted 3 years ago he believed enough in my hard work that I could take over some of his coordinator duties, which then lead to Special Advisor for #AEWTogether, all while building my in ring career! I owe that to you, your wife, Cody, Brandi, and NF! Thank You! — https://t.co/6yoU8j2dNC

QT was the first person to reach out when the pandemic hit & I found myself without any income.

He asked if I could make the drive to Jacksonville to film a few matches since many people couldn’t travel.

I 100% wouldn’t be where I am without him.

Thanks for everything, QT! https://t.co/FzZUQx1V6G

QT is a big reason I am at the level I’m at. Definitely wouldn’t have gotten to where I am without him. One of the best trainers in the world and an awesome wrestler. Excited to see what’s next. https://t.co/XZJ5Q3cSrV

Enjoyed so many aspects from you backstage, the similar approach to squash matches(or lack there of) and witnessing you train wrestlers, which is an entirely different skill than just being good in the ring. Best of luck #muchmorethancodysfriend https://t.co/JwygEjZ7Z7

This man raised the ranks in the company all while being honest with everyone and helping others.

Insane work ethic, full of advice, a very very smart mind and love for pro wrestling.

Seeing the amount of work he does and always taking on more work is inspiring.

Thank you QT https://t.co/N0xdsyGf89

This man won’t boast about all the people he helped behind the scenes but as much as we’ve disliked each other, you’d have to be ignorant not to give him his flowers.

Not only for his backstage work, but in ring work is world class, those that pay real attention know that.

I wouldn’t be a professional wrestler if it wasn’t for QT Marshall.
He Changed my life in every way you could imagine.
Thanks for everything coach. —- https://t.co/KEHCNYf1sL

I don’t know what the future holds but what I do know is that he hasn’t scratched the surface on the great things he’s going to do.

In a business like wrestling it’s hard to find people as candid as QT.

Beyond thankful for that, his leadership, & his friendship — https://t.co/g9DKRfm4Bq
