Ahead of the AEW Revolution pay-per-view, Dr. Britt Baker, DMD spoke with Barstool Rasslin’ to promote the show.
Baker was asked about the situation with her, Jamie Hayter, Toni Storm, and Saraya:
“So as somebody that’s been in AEW from day one, there’s a huge sense of pride with myself and everyone else that have been, literally, the building blocks of what makes AEW what it is today, what you see on your TV today. At one point, we didn’t even have a TV deal set in stone. It was all huge milestones for us and slowly, we proved all the doubters wrong and we kept doing things that everybody thought we had no business even trying to do. Then more and more people started joining our company, and that’s awesome because how cool is it to be part of the foundation of something where the hugest stars in wrestling are leaving their current home and coming to yours. It’s amazing. It’s pride. But when you come into my house with arrogance and you act like you’re better than me because of where you lived before, I have a huge problem with that because we don’t have time for that. I don’t care what day, what time, what show, what anything you were on, right now, you’re in my house. You’re in AEW. The one thing all the girls in AEW have in common is that they came after me. I’m the first one. So if you’re gonna come in here, you’re going to show respect to everybody, but most certainly, you’re going to show respect to me because that’s not going to fly.”
Her thoughts on the media scrum following All Out:
“I actually don’t even think I’ve ever given my thoughts. So just speaking solely on what I watched, because that’s all I can talk about is what I saw and the scrum and what I heard. As someone who loves AEW more than anything in the world and has so much pride, and at a time when it felt like we were really like something special and we have some of the biggest names in professional wrestling all fighting for our same team, and especially after huge pay-per-view. The pay-per-view was amazing. It was one of the biggest houses we ever had. That scrum was heartbreaking and it was it was embarrassing and it was disappointing because it just felt like, for a moment in time, this felt like very much a disaster and you never want that to happen. That was definitely a time in AEW where I was like, man, this sucks.”
“Just me speaking personally, I think the scrums are really cool because it’s after a pay-per-view and you get to speak to these wrestlers and there’s a lot of emotion. They get to talk to you about what’s going on in the ring, what they’re feeling, and their storylines. In a way, it kind of humanizes these very larger-than-life wrestlers that you just saw wrestle for 30 minutes in the ring or whatever. But that time needs to be used proactively and responsibly.”
Thoughts on the upcoming MJF-Bryan Danielson match at Revolution:
“I am praying that Bryan Danielson wins this match for the sole fact that there’s a small chance then that we won’t have 30-minute MJF promos every frickin week. Like, my brain is melting hearing all his weird stories from when he was a kid, like, what is wrong with this guy? But I think that’s going to be one of the best matches of all time. I mean, these are two guys that are devilishly good at what they’re good at. So I think it’s like the battle of the geniuses. One might be an evil genius, but still, I think it’s gonna be very, very good. I think this entire pay-per-view is something to not sleep on, to be really excited about.”
Her thoughts on Adam Cole returning to the ring:
“I’m so excited for him. I’m so happy. I’m so proud of him because there’s no words that I can speak that can really tell the story of what he went through. It’s not my story to tell, so I’m not going to tell it. He’s going to tell it very soon. So you can tune into AEW and AEW All Access, wink. But it was horrifying to watch from the sidelines, someone you love going through something so physically, mentally, and emotionally scary. It was really scary. We’re lucky that we have him right now at AEW and he’s able to come to work again and he’s able to eventually be in the ring again. He’s too special of a talent to think like, ‘Oh my gosh. What if he wasn’t gonna wrestle anymore?’ I don’t even want to think of that, and that can happen. It’s scary. This whole process has made me think. It’s a reality check, but that goes for any of us like that, in a matter of inches, anybody’s career can be over.”
