The Blue Meanie: AEW Treated Me Like Royalty During Their Philadelphia Residency Last Year

The Blue Meanie says that AEW treated him like royalty during his Philadelphia residency last year while discussing his time in the company.

During AEW’s residency in Philadelphia last year, several ECW names would feature as part of the 11 shows that AEW held there, including The Blue Meanie.

While speaking to The Stunner in a new interview, The Blue Meanie reflected on working with All Elite Wrestling.

“I was talking to Tony Khan and he’s standing there with the young bucks and he goes, ‘Just so you know, I’ve known The Blue Meanie since I was 12 years old,’ which is the truth back in the AOL days, we would talk online, but it was cool that it was, like I said, is awesome to be thought of in that, in that atmosphere. They had 11 shows to plan out and they’re like, ‘let’s make Blue Meanie a part of a couple of them.’ So I got to do something with the frat house. I was part of Athena’s entrance. I got to do RJ City’s show, which was pretty cool, and I got to do a dark, not a dark match, but they had me come out at the end of the show and thank people for coming out. Just for the house, kind of some rah-rah speech. They treated me like royalty. There was 11 shows. I went to at least 10 of them. They paid me some in cash, some in catering. I was in catering every day. So, I mean… and they have good catering there. All Elite Catering. I kid, but it was a wonderful time. They have a great organization there.”

Elsewhere in the same interview, Blue Meanie compared ECW to Halley’s comet. You can read more about that here.
