Swerve Strickland Calls Himself ‘The American Story’

Top AEW star Swerve Strickland took part in the Countdown to All In: Texas On Sale event to talk about a number of topics, including how he is the American Story and how the company will get back on track.

Strickland said, โ€œThereโ€™s a man, Stephen A. Smith โ€” Iโ€™m quoting him by saying, โ€˜Iโ€™m not the American dream. Iโ€™m the American story.’ I got to this progression not just by hoping and wishing and luck. I got it from hard work, consistency, and perseverance, and believing in myself and not taking no for an answer. And every time I ran into a roadblock, when I got steered the wrong way, I figured it out and I got right back on track. And I went harder than ever. So All In: Texas. Saturday, July 12th in Globe Life Field, All Elite Wrestling is going to do the same thing. Weโ€™re going to get back on track and weโ€™re going to push harder and weโ€™re going to do better than we ever have.โ€
