Boulder Confirms Iron Savages Have Signed AEW Deals

A recent episode of The Shining Wizards podcast featured The Iron Savages’ Boulder as the guest. One of the topics discussed included Boulder confirming that The Iron Savages have been signed to contracts with AEW.

“We kept coming back (to AEW) and after a while, we got contracted. Since we were there, not really in the most positive light, but a match that sticks out to me is our match, April 2021 on Dynamite against Jurassic Express. That was the match where I tore my bicep. Not very fun.

Well, I can tell you we signed our first contracts literally on New Year’s Eve of 2020 and can’t really talk about what the future holds. But we plan on sticking around for a long time and really help bolstering up that tag division in Ring of Honor. You know, everyone wants to say they’d love to be on TV every week and be the champions and be featured every week and that’s great and everything but I’m not a demanding person. I don’t expect the world, I’m very happy with what we’re doing. I know it’s not perfect yet, and we’re still — not really throwing sh*t at the wall and seeing what sticks but, we’re trying to find our stride. You’ll notice every match, we’re trying to do something different, trying to see what sticks, trying to see what people like and that’s what wrestling is.”

Boulder also gave his thoughts about Cody Rhodes being the agent for some of their matches in AEW during Rhodes’ time in the company.

“By the time we (Iron Savages) were signed, Cody (Rhodes) was there for maybe another year and for our first year there, Cody was very instrumental to what we accomplished there. He took a liking to us. He actually went out of his way to agent some of our matches. He was a very, very positive figure to have there and I miss him… and I still — not very often but, I still keep in touch with him to this day. Every now and again, I reach out to him and tell him I love what he’s doing. He’s someone that I’m very proud to know and I guess to call a friend so…”
