While Heyman appreciated AEW, he did add an interesting point. Heyman explained that his comments mean absolutely nothing, irrespective of whether they’re good or bad.
He said, “I’m not the audience, so it doesn’t… my personal opinion on their product… if I were to sit here and go, ‘My God, they’re great!’… who cares what I think? But that’s just a personal opinion.”
Heyman continued, “They’re not geared towards me and if I sat there and went, ‘Oh my God, they suck, they’re horrible!’… I don’t think they should care about that either.”
