Aron Stevens was recently interviewed by Wrestling Inc, where he spoke about how important wrestling fans are to the industry.

“The life-blood of the business, in my opinion, has always been the fans. That’s why you do what you do. To me, that’s what the show is for. I think what’s happened, and I’m not going to name company names or anything, but some people in other companies have let their own ‘vision’ highjack the product. That’s why a lot of different products are a little bit dry and need a little bit of pep.”

Stevens spoke about how important he feels it is to listen to the audience.

“In wrestling, if you’re not listening, then you will become stagnant. You have to not be afraid to try stuff. It’s like fishing. You throw it out there and see what they bite on.”

Stevens also revealed what he thinks the key to longevity in wrestling is.

“That’s my experience on how to have longevity in wrestling. There have been so many times when fans have reacted to something, I’ve gone, ‘Oh, really?! You like that?!?’ Personally, it’s not exactly what I want to do. However….who am I to let my own individual wants and needs interfere with a good show?”
