Scorpio Sky comments on what has been “frustrating” about his lack of AEW appearances
While appearing on the Tagging In with Chris Harris podcast, Scorpio Sky discussed the challenges of remaining motivated during extended stretches when he was not being used on AEW television…
“It’s really like a mind-f, you know, because on the surface it could be a lot worse. You’re sitting at home and getting paid, and there are people who don’t have a place to live. There are people who are struggling, living paycheck to paycheck, working 60 hours a week, and barely able to make ends meet.
So when you think about it on that scale, it’s like, ‘I can’t complain, man.’
But then there are other days where you’re just like, ‘Man, I grew up dreaming of doing this. I didn’t grow up dreaming of getting paid not to do it.’ And it’s hard because you want to do it. You love it.
Not only that, but from the business side, you’ve got to earn your next contract. So it does get frustrating, especially when it’s out of your hands and it’s not due to an injury.
But that’s the nature of the business, and I think a lot of wrestlers have gone through it, not just myself. There’s a lot of talent in every company, and you’re never going to get used as often as you’d like to be.
So you just have to roll with it, try to put yourself in the best situation you can, and be ready when your jersey number gets called.”
