Powerhouse Hobbs is one of AEW’s finest young prospects, holding the TNT Championship earlier this year.
While he has struggled to keep up consistent momentum, it is clear AEW see big things in Hobbs’ future. Arn Anderson, Billy Gunn, Dean Malenko, Paul Wight, Jerry Lynn, and Mark Henry all work with Hobbs with regards to producing.
Speaking on McGuire on Wrestling, Hobbs was asked about his relationship with Mark Henry.
“That’s my wrestling dad. He gets on me when I need it. It doesn’t even have to be about the good things, that doesn’t matter, but things that need to be fixed. Things that are going to take me to the next level. Things that I need to do to transition better. ‘This works, look at that camera even longer, do your snarl here, turn that red light on when you need to but turn it off when you need to.’ He treats me just like his children. It’s a blessing to have him. I go to him for things outside of the ring,”
“Someone who is willing to go the extra mile for you if you’re willing to put in the work.”
