Despite the majority of sports and entertainment shutting down in 2020, wrestling continued to go on with WWE and AEW pumping out their weekly television events. AEW ran events from Daily’s Place in Jacksonville, FL while the WWE rans their shows from the Thunder Dome.
Speaking to Off The Top Rope, referee Bryce Remsburg revealed he received a pay raise and a promotion during the pandemic.
“It was a crazy, bizarre time, but there was some legitimate….I never missed a paycheck, I got a raise during the pandemic, I got a promotion. I’m very very lucky. Tony (Khan) took good care of us. He takes a lot of pride, to this day, about making sure that not only did we maintain our crew, we added to it during the pandemic. He did a lot for independent wrestling during the pandemic and kept a lot of people busy with jobs and such. That’s not nothing. Forever, there will be respect for that, for what he did not only with AEW, but for independent wrestling,”
