Charlie Haas Wants To Work In AEW; Says He’s Open To Reuniting With Shelton Benjamin
Charlie Haas is back and he’s got some major goals!
Charlie Haas recently returned to professional wrestling with IMPACT Wrestling. However, IMPACT Wrestling is not the only promotion he wants to work with now that he is back. During the recent appearance on The Angle Podcast, Charlie Haas spoke openly about wanting to work in AEW.
“If Arn Anderson and them are out there listening, I’d love to work with AEW. I’d love to go in there with Cody, The Young Bucks are there. Would love to work with them or be a coach for tag team wrestling as well. I’d love to wrestling JONAH, Malakai Black, Josh Alexander again, Davey Richards, Eddie Edwards, Jon Moxley, Cody Rhodes, I’d love to wrestle Arn Anderson’s son Brock, that’d be a dream match man, Arn had so much to do in my career and to be in the ring with his son, that’d be an honor and then maybe in 10 years he’d be in the ring with my kids, I don’t know, but I’d love for something like that to happen, that’d be great!”
Regarding his future, Charlie Haas says he still wants to work in the ring for a number of years before potentially transitioning into an agent role behind the scenes.
“I hope something good comes out of it, but like I said, I want to work for another 2-3 years I also want to be a producer or an agent or a coach, I want to work behind the scenes. I’m just hoping someone out there will give me a chance and bring me in.”
One of his landing points during this final portion of his in-ring career could be a reuniting of his tag team with Shelton Benjamin. Speaking on the podcast, Charlie Haas stated that he would be open to the idea as he feels they would be a great pair to show others that are transitioning from collegiate athletes to pro wrestling how it’s done.
“Is it what he wants to do? He’s involved in another tag team with Cedric Alexander. Or do I come in and disrupt that? Or do we reform The World’s Greatest Tag Team? Do we form a new faction? Or do I go solo or do they just bring me in to be an agent? Who better than Shelton and I teaching these new amateur wrestlers how to cross over?”
