Hard To Diet

Shawn Dean says he's not currently entertaining the thought of ever going to WWE, as he's "making a difference" in his role in AEW and would "choose legacy over fame any day": “I think at the moment, I don’t. And that’s just because at AEW I’ve carved out a lane for myself. I’ve put myself in a position to where I’m respected by my peers, I’m making a difference, and I’m a part of something that’s growing, something that’s going to be around for a long time. “So for me, even if that time was to come in 10-15 years, and 10-15 years, I don’t plan on wrestling that long. So I’m already in a position now where I’m changing the future and establishing the next crop of people. So for me at the moment, right now AEW is where my heart is at. “AEW took a chance on me and put me in a position to be able to get people to go to other places if it’s not AEW. They’re going to the E, they’re going to TNA, they’re in MLW, they’re going overseas. And a lot of them have got these opportunities based off of something they did on AEW Dark. Something that they probably would have never got a chance to do on the other side. “AEW has opened the door for so many people to get exposure, that it’s really crazy how it changed the game for wrestling in general. Because you went from one entity running the whole thing, to now you got another one that’s producing just as much talent, if not better talent on this side. “So I want to be on a side where we’re continuing to change and grow and knowing that I got a part in that. Like, that’s my place in history, and I choose legacy over fame any day.” (Kings of the Ring Podcast)
