Paul Walter Hauser to join AEW Full Gear pre-show panel

Actor turned wrestler Paul Walter Hauser will be part of Saturday’s AEW Full Gear pre-show panel, joining Renee Paquette, Jeff Jarrett and RJ City.

Hauser has been in AEW before, appearing on the January 13rd, 2023 Rampage where Jarrett laid him out with a guitar shot and stole his Golden Globe award which was never resolved in storyline.

Hauser, who has also won an Emmy, has been active in the ring this year, competing for MLW, Wrestling Revolver, and SHW. He defeated Sami Callihan in an April street fight and Tom Lawlor in a cage match in May. The actor has also said he would like to play Mick Foley on screen someday.

He won’t be the only celebrity on the pre-show as Big Boom A.J. of the Costco Guys, flanked by Big Justice and The Rizzler, will be competing against QT Marshall.
