Tinker Makes Multiple Appearences For AEW

MIKE OLMSTEAD Sports Editor

NEWARK, NJ–Fans of professional wrestling have no doubt by now heard of the newest rival to the WWE, All Elite Wrestling, or AEW for short.

On Friday November 18th, and again on Saturday, November 19th, a familiar face (although on Saturday you wouldn’t have known it was him), was featured in two different segments for the program.

Hired as an Extra Talent Worker, Tyler Tinker, aka Tyler Payne, made an appearance on AEW’s Friday Night Rampage Show (10:00 p.m. on TNT), followed by a second appearance on Saturday’s Pay Per View (PPV) AEW Full Gear, which was a attended by close to 20,000 fans, nearly selling out the Prudential Center.

Friday night saw Tyler appear in a backstage segment where he was tossed over and through a bunch of chairs, taking a good sized bump (fall in wrestling terms) in the process.

On Saturday he accompanied Jeff Jarrett (J-E-Double-F, J-E-Double-R-EDouble-T)

to the ring disguised as one of four “Fake Stings” wearing black clothing and the traditional Sting face paint in the style of the movie “The Crow.”

If you are a regular reader of these pages, you may remember a two-part feature on Tinker that we did this summer and fall.

If you had read the feature, you will no doubt that know that Tinker’s wrestling career has really taken off in recent months.

Tinker made an appearance back home in Newport for ETWA, and also wrestled in Massachusetts, New Jersey, Hawaii, and his current home state of Alaska.

Said Tinker on his appearances for AEW, “Be ready for whatever opportunity you are given and make the absolute most out of it.”

Tinker isn’t sure if he will be working again for AEW, but if you have seen the clips, you can see that he gave it his all in both segments, and would be more than capable of answering the bell if the call should come for him compete or help enhance an AEW show in any way possible.
