Speaking on Renee Paquette's podcast, Oral Sessions, AEW star Powerhouse Hobbs revealed the inspirational story of how he signed with AEW.

Hobbs revealed that it was QT Marshall who first contacted him via text, adding that he didn't reply for a couple of hours because he thought someone was playing a prank on him:

"I get a text from QT Marshall and I looked at my phone, read it and let it sit for two hours because I thought somebody was messing with me. I had just got laid off from work and thought that somebody was messing with me and I responded back and that was it," said Hobbs.

Will Hobbs also revealed that he had been laid off from his job a few months before he got started on his pro wrestling career, adding that even a couple of fast food chains didn't hire him:

"I got laid off in March and I didn't go to APW until July and my daughter was born in May. So it was like man, what am I going to do but I gotta do whatever to put food on the table. A couple of fast food chains wouldn't even hire me like, wouldn't call me back so I was like... I had some money saved up which helped out but eventually if you keep using your savings it's going to run out and that's what I don't want to happen," added Hobbs.
