AEW star Powerhouse Hobbs was a recent guest on the ‘Barstool Rasslin’ podcast as he spoke about what he’s learned while working with Taz in AEW, who else has given him advice in AEW, and more.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On learning from Taz: “Yeah, weekly. Not just on TV or on the road, it’s just I always can call him up, ask him for advice. Ask him to critique a match for me, and he’s more than happy to do it. I’ve had instances where he’s pulled me aside and said, ‘You need to go out and be a straight assassin. Do what you do, separate yourself from the pack,” and that’s what I do. I was a huge Taz fan growing up anyway, so just shutting the hell up and just opening my ears and listening to them, you know, it’s paid off so much.”
On others who have helped him backstage: “Oh yeah. You got Mark Henry, you’ve got “Double A” Arn Anderson. I’ve had FTR help me so many times. Dustin Rhodes. Just countless people. Especially like Billy Gunn. Like, there are countless people here that I can go to.”
