QT Marshall Comments On Hate He Receives From 'Twitter Fans'

Outside of his commitments in All Elite Wrestling both on-screen and behind the scenes, QT Marshall has competed on the independent wrestling scene and the 38-year-old recently made his AAA debut, defeating Pentagon Jr. in an Ambulance Match at AAA TripleMania: Tijuana.

Marshall discussed the match on the latest episode of Talk is Jericho and QT revealed that Tony Khan allows him to wrestle outside of AEW in the hopes it will help change how "Twitter fans" view him, with Marshall claiming fans on the social media platform "really, really" hate him.

"Konnan called me and he kind of had this idea and we ran it by Tony (Khan) and Tony is a firm believer when it comes to me, that it's good for me to go out and wrestle in other places because I can maybe help possibly turn the Twitter fans into seeing a different side of me and stuff like that. The Twitter fans that give Tony a lot of crap for putting me on TV. Yeah, but it's a different type of hate (that Chris Jericho gets)... For some reason, they really, really hate me and this is what he specifically said, 'I would never let two of my contracted talents go to another company and do an angle like this that could lead to something even bigger, that I know would do a great rating for my show. But I believe in you and I do believe this would help you and it'll help your career overall,'" Marshall stated.

"So thank goodness they were able to tell a good story for the past couple of months. We're doing vignettes for the past couple of months and stuff like that and then they built up to this first-ever Ambulance Match in Mexico which I've never done before and we could see as we went there, they definitely have never done it before. So it was wild and we had weapons and all this stuff and out of nowhere, I just see Pentagón grab these light tubes... and I just wished for the best and put my head down and my mom and dad both watched it. I bought them each a FITE TV order so they could watch it and they were not too happy, but they're happy that I was okay."

Marshall has been a part of All Elite Wrestling since 2019 and he is a close confidante of Tony Khan's, assisting with the booking of AEW TV. Marshall is also the leader of QTV on AEW programming, a faction that was put together after Marshall was in the main event of one of the least-watched episodes of Rampage in history.
