Adam Copeland Enjoys The Creative Process And Freedom He Has In AEW

Adam Copeland has enjoyed his time in All Elite Wrestling so far.

All Elite Wrestling‘s Adam Copeland recently sat down with Joseph Staszewski of the New York Post. When asked about what he’s noticed since joining the company, Copeland spoke about the creative process and the freedom that comes along with it.

“What I’ve noticed is the creative process and some of the freedom that comes along with that, and I think that’s been really fun,” Adam Copeland said. “Not that I haven’t had creative freedom. I’ve been very lucky in that regard over the years. But it’s different when there are not shareholders, and it’s different when there is a different structure in that regard.”

When asked what freedom in All Elite Wrestling means to him, Copeland said the ability he has to tell stories and have your voice heard is very important to him.

“Tell stories, and I think have more input into those stories, too. That to me is what I always thought we are is storytellers,” Adam Copeland said. “To be able to have more of a voice in that regard is exciting. That’s not to say that I didn’t have that to a degree.

“Twenty-five years in a place (WWE), you are gonna have that trust and all of those things, but I also understood it’s a different animal. There’s more to answer to. With this, it feels like maybe just a few more chances taken in order to see what is gonna stick to the wall. Sometimes some isn’t gonna stick. It’s exciting the process to see what does. To sit down with a guy like Jay, with Christian, and kind of start mapping out this story when we are at this stage of our careers, it’s just fun.”

When asked if working full-time in All Elite Wrestling was important to him after a part-time schedule in WWE, Copeland said he wants to make the most of the time he has left in this industry.

“I think from their perspective, and I see their perspective entirely if we bring you out too much, then it’s not special anymore. I get that, I really do,” Adam Copeland said. “So it was for limited dates. With that, though, you can’t really get into a proper story. You can’t really dive into what this thing could be.

“For me looking at it, it’s like I’m 49. I got a very, very limited time to capitalize on what I have left. Because three months off, that’s three months where I could have done some stuff. And I know it sounds great on paper, and don’t get me wrong, it wasn’t a horrible place to be. But, if I’m gonna do this man. I want to do it.

“I want to try to craft some stories and do what I can while I can. So limited time, yeah, because I’m far closer to the end of my career than I am to the beginning. But still think I got some good stories that I can tell and a whole new roster of people who I’ve never touched before.”
