Tony’s tweet has created some speculation that Paul Wight could be bringing his Captain Insano character to AEW programming for the first time tonight at Grand Slam.
A few months ago Paul Wight confirmed during an interview that there were plans in place to bring Captain Insano to All Elite Wrestling when he said, “He’ll [Captain Insano] be back. The guy who wrote The Waterboy has approved. Tony Khan and I have secured the rights to Captain Insano. There’s already an outfit made, the whole nine yards. We’re doing a lot of prep work, and this will be my last hoorah so to speak.”
“Let’s be honest – I don’t think this character is going to be a killer going out there trying to beat Jon Moxley for the AEW World Championship. At this point, I think this character is just to have fun. We’ll see how it goes, but for me right now, this is just a chance to have fun with this character and be a bright spot on the show. We’ll see how I’m feeling, and we’ll see how everybody takes off with it.”
Stay tuned for more updates as they become available.
