Don Callis’ professional wrestling career has spanned decades, taking him across various top companies in the industry. When asked about his experiences, Callis expressed that AEW stands out among them.
In a recent conversation with Mark Madden, Callis shared his thoughts on AEW’s new media rights deal with Warner Brothers Discovery. He stated the current locker room in AEW is the best company he’s ever worked for.
“This is the best locker room and best company I’ve ever worked for, and I’ve worked for all of them, including New Japan, ECW, TNA. This is the best environment. Tony [Khan] is a great boss. I get very excited to perform. I thought that had been beat out of me a long time ago in wrestling. I get very excited to show up. I love the wrestling here, I think it’s great. Tony really has his finger on the pulse of what the real hardcore wrestling fans like. I think that’s exciting.”
Callis continued to expand on how important AEW’s television deal with Warner Bros Discovery is. MAX will also be a part of the deal, as they will provide fans with another platform to take in the company’s content.
“This rights deal is going to be exciting. I’m pumped about what’s going to happen and what we’re going to do on MAX. At the end of the day, you’re going to get to see the Don Callis Family for the foreseeable future on the WBD network, and that is great.”
AEW’s new multi-year television deal with Warner Bros Discovery will keep Dynamite and Collision on WBD, while Rampage will not be included in the agreement. Additionally, there is growing interest in the company’s upcoming deal with FOX for their new show, Shockwave.
As one of AEW’s top heels, Don Callis remains a significant figure in the promotion. The Don Callis Family has undergone various transformations in AEW, and it remains to be seen what direction the faction will take next. It is evident that Callis is pleased with his role in Tony Khan’s company.
