About this episode
Before Mike Mansury became Executive Vice President, Head of Global Production for AEW, he spent over 10 years working in production at WWE. He talks about his start there as a production assistant, learning on the road from the likes of Arn Anderson, Fit Finlay, and Road Dogg, his relationship with Kevin Dunn and being his #2, and the best words of advice he ever received from Vince McMahon. Mike has stories about NXT and helping Triple H bring that vision to life, and what it was like when he moved to working on both RAW and Smackdown. He also recalls his scariest live TV moment when Jerry Lawler suffered a heart attack, the preparation they did in 2017 when Ric Flair was hospitalized, and what ultimately led Mike to leave WWE. Plus, Mike shares his AEW journey, the impact he’s been able to make at the company over the last 18 months, the changes he’s most proud of to date, his growth plans for 2024, and the young, upcoming talent he believes to be the future of AEW.
