Kyle Fletcher Talks New AEW Ring Gear And The Bold Reaction It Sparked

AEW star Kyle Fletcher appeared on the CHGO Blackhawks podcast, where he talked about a number of topics including his new ring gear.

Fletcher said, โ€œI was pretty happy. I think everyone was pretty shocked by the thighs. I get very nervous and anxiousโ€ฆif you think about, the whole idea and changing appearance and new gear all stemmed from my brain. I didnโ€™t get a lot of input from a lot of people. Itโ€™s my brain child, really. Iโ€™m debuting this new thing that I created in my brain. Only a few people, up until the day of, had seen it.โ€

On the reaction to his new trunks:

โ€œThe people who designed and made the gear, Skye Blue, a couple of friends. For the mass population, it was their first time seeing it. It was very nerve-racking, but the reaction was polarizing, which I think is probably the best thing you can ask for. A lot of people hated it and made noise about it, that makes me happy.โ€
