AR Fox, the rising star in the world of professional wrestling, recently shared his experience and emotions surrounding his debut on AEW television. In an interview with Busted Open Radio, Fox discussed his journey from doing extra work to landing a spot on AEW’s now-defunct YouTube series, Dark.
Reflecting on his start in AEW, Fox mentioned his involvement in training Shawn Dean, who has now secured a position within the company and assists with extra work. Fox expressed his eagerness to contribute and asked Dean if he could try his hand at extra work. This led to his first opportunity in Atlanta, where he performed extra work for AEW. Determined to make an impact, Fox went above and beyond by traveling to different locations, funding his own flights, and patiently waiting for his chance to shine.
Despite having only four matches under his belt, Fox poured his heart into each performance, taking risks and showcasing his best skills. He sought advice from fellow wrestlers, inquiring about the number of matches they had on Dark before getting signed. The responses varied, with some wrestlers mentioning fewer matches than Fox had already participated in. Undeterred, Fox stayed committed to his goal, attending six or seven Dark tapings.
Then, a pivotal moment arrived. While watching AEW as a fan, Fox received the news of his debut on Dynamite. With his ticket already purchased for that Wednesday’s Dark event, Fox’s excitement soared. This unexpected opportunity propelled his career forward, and shortly after his debut, AEW offered him a contract. Grateful for the chance to prove himself, Fox vowed to give his all and seize every opportunity that comes his way.
