Shane "Swerve" Strickland recently spoke with 11 Alive for an in-depth interview covering all things pro wrestling.
During the discussion, The Mogul Embassy leader spoke about his on-screen character in AEW, Sting's retirement and more.
Featured below are some of the highlights from the interview where he touches on these topics with his thoughts.
On how he approaches his on-screen character: "It’s all about making a choice … and truly committing. You can’t be, ‘Boom, boom, boom,’ … back and forth [on] what you want to be, who you are, what your motives are."
On committing to his character: "It added just so many more layers and depth that people really attached to it and wanted to see more of it. Or wanted to see — next week, how do we explain that? Next week, do we dive in a little more?"
On evolving his character: "It’s almost like Breaking Bad just ended season three [or] season four. Where do you start now? Where do you follow up? Where [do] these characters go?"
On Sting’s retirement: "That’s a big, giant heart that’s retired in AEW. It’s almost impossible to fill the shoes that Sting left in the business and in AEW, but now it’s like — okay, now how do we move forward?"
