Eric Bischoff has praised the ‘smarts’ of Tony Khan for releasing AEW talent, though he believes the list of smart things Khan has done is still small.
This week, AEW released around ten names from its roster as part of restructuring efforts within the All Elite promotion.
On a recent edition of his “83 Weeks” podcast, Bischoff gave his thoughts on AEW’s recent layoffs. He said,
“It’s probably really smart; it may be the only second or third smart thing that Tony has done now in a while. The sad thing is — I don’t mean any offense — but I never heard of any one of them.
“Comfort is a thief. It’s very easy to get comfortable getting a check every two weeks without any pressure, it’s hard not to get comfortable, but it’s stealing from you too, because you’re not doing anything.”
During Thursday’s ROH Supercard of Honor media call, Khan claimed he fired ‘The Boys’ after they no-showed multiple events. Both Brent & Brandon Tate have claimed this isn’t true.
Khan also spoke about Anthony Henry, who was released after suffering a jaw injury at an indie event. Khan claimed Henry will return to AEW/ROH when he is healed.
