AEW TNT Champion Kyle Fletcher is firing back at recent comments from wrestling veteran Stevie Richards. Last week, Richards made the bold claim that Logan Paul is a “better superstar than anyone in the entire AEW”.
During an appearance on “TMZ Inside The Ring,” Fletcher was asked to respond to that statement. “I think I said the same thing with his comments on me. I think a lot of these things are done with the thought process. Oh, this will get a reaction. Oh, this will get clicks,” Fletcher said. “I don’t know if he believes that wholeheartedly. If he does, like I said, everyone’s entitled to their opinion. I think that opinion is bullshit. Personally”.
Fletcher praised the quality of the AEW roster, calling the claim “absurd.” “I think the roster that we have at AEW, the matches that are that you see on a weekly, bi weekly, like monthly basis, it I am astounded, like I can’t even keep up, like I watch one match that I go, that’s the best match I’ve seen this year, and then the next week I’ll see the another match that I think is the best match this year. It’s an absolutely absurd claim to make”.
While Fletcher gave Paul credit for his athletic ability, he drew the line at comparing him to AEW’s top stars.
“No on hate Logan Paul, [he] is doing great stuff, good for you. He’s been in the business for five years, if that. So, the level that he’s performing at is insane. Do I think he’s better than Kenny Omega? Will Ospreay? Not a fucking chance, right?”.
