Chavo Guerrero Jr. has said that WWE and AEW need to find a middle ground when it comes to how much freedom their talent has.
Guerrero, a former performer for both companies, was written off AEW TV last September to be the wrestling coordinator on Young Rock.
Appearing on the Wrestling Inc Daily podcast, Guerrero said there’s not enough management control in AEW:
“In WWE the producers, the agents, they really got involved in your matches. In AEW, they kind of let you do your own thing. So, it’s almost like we need a happy medium. In WWE they micromanage you at times, and in AEW they didn’t do enough, I felt. I felt they really need to help a lot of the young guys just put things in the right spots. These guys are such talented wrestlers and such talented athletes, but sometimes it’s a spot fest. You’ve seen it, it’s just doing spots, and spots, just to do a spot. You know, just because you can do a backflip doesn’t mean you should do a backflip. I think that they need help in that.”
During his hiatus from AEW, Guerrero was removed from the company’s website and claims that Tony Khan has been ignoring his phone calls.
Khan has admitted that he owes Guerrero a phone call to explain the situation.
