Big E On Introducing Fury And Wilder, Ethan Page On Sting, McIntyre Headed To MTV EMAs | Fight Size
Here’s your fight size update for Thursday, November 11, 2021:
– Speaking to talkSPORT’s Alex McCarthy, WWE Champion Big E commented on introducing Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder:
“That was maybe the best day of my… OK, it was a top 10, one of the best days of my life! I got to go to Iowa earlier that day and I’m a massive college football fan. Doing that, then hopping on a jet… at one point I’m thinking, how is this my life? I’m doing this FOX broadcast getting to see my team, my school secure one of the biggest home wins ever, hopping on a jet to get to Vegas. We land, hop in a car, go to the MGM Grand where I had a room. Shower real quick and head to T-Mobile, I’m sitting in the crowd, I look up and I’m doing the intros! Like, I’m living someone else’s life. This is clearly not meant for me! That day is one I’ll always remember. And the fight was incredible too.”
– Ethan Page recently spoke to Sportskeeda Wrestling about wrestling Sting in AEW.
“I mean, who the hell wants to admit that they’re getting their a** kicked by a 62-year old man. But it’s a legend so…(laughs). I would say that it’s extremely criminal that that late in his career he stopped wrestling in front of live crowds. We essentially brought him back into the fold and now he’s in the ring all the time. And to be a part of that history, to be one of his last in-ring matches, one of his last big pay-per-view matches is incredible,” said Ethan Page.
“To open up after the pandemic, to have audiences come back on that special match and on that special occasion is also very special to me. And I would say that kinda cemented me and Scorpio as a team, moving forward, was that whole story with him and Darby so…it was amazing and I’m very proud of it. I’m not happy about the outcome but we can’t win them all,” added Page

– Speaking to Chris Van Vliet, Darby Allin commented on where he would be if AEW didn’t exist:
“Dude I have no idea, and that’s the trip, that’s why I don’t take anything for granted. I work my ass off when it comes to promos, outside of wrestling. Whether it’s Dark, Rampage, Dynamite, when I come to work I am in the zone. I like to be alone, I change in Sting’s locker room, he has his own room. Not because I think that I am better, I just don’t want to be caught up in the dramas. AEW has been great, and I just want to treat it with respect.”
– Speaking on Women’s Wrestling Talk, Ruby Soho talked about not knowing Bryan Danielson or Adam Cole were at All Out:
I didn’t know any of them. I had no idea. I didn’t know a lot of what was going on that day. Like I knew, the matches that were announced. That I was excited to see. But I didn’t know Adam was gonna be there, I didn’t know Bryan was coming; I didn’t know any of that. Like I’d seen the rumblings you know, obviously on the dirt sheets, but you know, you never know stuff like that. Like you never know what to believe or anything but I had no idea and I was so you know, wrapped up in you know, in the day as a whole and what it meant for me and all the anticipation that had built up to kind of that moment that I was just almost was just like on sensory overload that day. I was just super excited to see my best friend. I was super excited to see all my old friends. I was excited to start in this new company. I was nervous as all get out, so it was just a lot of emotions that day.
