AEW star Swerve Strickland had credited a top AEW star for helping him in regards to promo, as well as a WWE trainer for helping him in-ring.
Swerve has very quickly become one of the most popular wrestlers in AEW over the past few months, with him stepping up in a big way in 2023.
Speaking on Wrestling With Freddie, Swerve credited top AEW star Adam Copeland as being his mentor on promos, dating back to when he first met him in NXT.
He said:
“Yeah, he’s [Copeland] been my mentor for the last 2-3 years, ever since I met him in ‘NXT.’ Another guy that really brought that same type of mentality to me but put it the in-ring sense, I’ll credit two people for this — definitely Adam Copeland as far as promo’ing and characters, because we share content, like sending YouTube videos on breakdowns of characters.
“It was Terry Taylor who really taught me how to bring it in ring and showcase the person. You have to showcase that you’re a person and the feel of it before it gets to action and fighting and moves and spots and running, jumping, and diving.”
Swerve was recently cast in the upcoming slasher movie ‘Stiletto’ set to film later this year.
