Chris Hero On His Producer Role In AEW – Chris Hero has been absent from in-ring action since March 2020, but he remains actively engaged in the wrestling industry. He currently serves as the matchmaker for West Coast Pro and holds a role as a producer for AEW.

Hero’s upcoming schedule is packed, starting with the West Coast Cup taking place on Thursday and Friday, followed by AEW Collision on Saturday.

In a conversation with John Pollock of POST Wrestling, Hero delved into the challenge of managing his responsibilities in both positions.

“When I talked to AEW about coming in for a couple of shows and coaching/producing/agenting, I was very specific in certain compromises that I didn’t want to make. I had been putting this time and effort into West Coast Pro, and they’ve also been giving their time to me and allowing me to play around with things and work with stuff. The last thing I wanted to do was put three or four months of work into West Coast Pro and then, ‘see you guys.’ They were understanding and anytime there is a West Coast Pro show, I’m not going to miss it unless there is some kind of emergency,” he said.

When questioned about his exclusivity to contributing to AEW Collision, Hero responded that he’s flexible and assists wherever his expertise is required.

“I wouldn’t say exclusive, but maybe more emphasis on Saturdays because it’s a brand new show and they need extra people. I think I was brought in with that in mind. I’ve done a little bit of everything. I’ve done pay-per-views, Rampage, Dynamite. Maybe there is a week or two when I miss Collision and I’ll make it up on Dynamite. Next month, there is a stretch where I have Dynamite, Collision, Dynamite, Collision. There is no rule. It’s ever-changing,” he said.
