QT Marshall Comments on Not Knowing Beforehand of Nightmare Factory Being Part of WWE ID Program

Sports Illustrated held a recent interview with AEW executive and Nightmare Factory wrestling school co-owner QT Marshall. One of the topics discussed included Marshall’s thoughts about him having no knowledge beforehand of Cody Rhodes making a deal with WWE for their Nightmare Factory school to be part of WWE’s new WWE ID program.

“Tony (Khan) called me the day it was announced about other stuff, and he’s like, ‘Hey, I just got to bring this up because I’m getting a lot of questions.’ I was honest with him. I said, ‘Hey, I’ll be honest with you, Tony, I didn’t really know about this’. Cody had spoken to me about potentially signing over the intellectual properties and stuff, and he said he was doing something related to WWE but l kind of sworn to secrecy type of thing, and I don’t want to know. There’s other stuff that’s going on with the facility as well. The building that we’re in is like two hours from Cody’s house. So maybe six months ago, I put the building up for sale and he was going to open up his own spot by his house that I would probably come by like once a week and train and do the same thing we were doing by me, but he wanted (the gym) to be closer to him because he does all these interviews, and he just wanted his own compound type place. When Cody explained it to me, he was very smart about not putting me in the press releases. He didn’t want any kind of drama for me. And I told Tony, Cody has his own camps. It’s always been like that where I’ve been a coach but these are his camps. These are all his kids. They’re from scratch. I’ve always trained people for the most part in a night class with Billy Gunn. Before Billy, it was just myself. But I like more of the experienced guys and girls, whereas Cody likes to get them when they’re like brand new. So it was a little weird at first when he went to WWE.”

Marshall also gave his thoughts about him not understanding what is going on for his school now that WWE is involved nor the details of the deal that was made.

“Now, I mean, of course that the WWE is involved, I don’t understand what is going on. I didn’t look into it as much. The reason I want to look into it is because I have every single student we’ve ever had has been messaging me, but I don’t know the answer. So I don’t know what their whole deal is, what that involves. I read the press release as well. But I know when I spoke to Cody like, ‘Hey, you’re going to be doing your own thing. Maybe I could run a night class in there if we lose the building here, if we sell the building and stuff. But obviously, with AEW and the conflict of interest, I’m probably not going to be a part of this thing. He’s like, ‘Yeah, of course, that makes perfect sense, stinks because you are 50 percent of the Nightmare Factory. More than 50 percent because of the coaching that you bring. But at the end of the day, of course, if it’s going to make any kind of difficulty at work, you know, and that’s the biggest thing.
I just want to relax and figure out what else is there, and maybe find the passion for coaching againIt’s been a wild couple of days. I didn’t really know what was going on. I understand from Cody’s point of view. He’s sworn a kind of secrecy and stuff because, who knows if maybe it’s such a cool thing that they’re doing that we would have wanted to jump on it. I don’t know. Cody and I, we just have more of a friend relationship than professional at this point.”

I’m just gonna go as hard as I can.” Matt Hardy responded stating “I think we’re both pretty motivated, we’re passionate about this. We love it, we enjoy it. But I do think I would like to bookend our career and whatever we do in some scenario, much like Sting’s. I think Sting’s retirement match is the best booking that Tony Khan has done overall. I thought it was pitch perfect. I thought he nailed it. Sting is someone who was very deserving of that. Sting is someone who still inspires both myself and Jeff at this stage of the game. So to see him go out in that pitch perfect way, I thought was well deserved, well earned, and I’m very happy, a win like that. It was a storybook ending.” (Transcript h/t: Fightful.com)
