Dean Malenko is still working behind the scenes in AEW, despite facing several serious health issues at this time.
Malenko, a former WWE Superstar and producer, left the promotion in April 2019 and joined AEW the following month.
Speaking on the latest episode of his What Happened When podcast, AEW commentator Tony Schiavone gave an update on Malenko, who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in May of last year. He said,
“His health is not good. We had him on Starrcast in Chicago. No one had really talked about it, but he mentioned that he had Parkinson’s. He’s also had a heart attack. He’s got diabetes. So he’s had some serious, serious health problems, but he’s still a part of AEW backstage.
“They always make sure that he’s, of the big matches when you see like Moxley or Danielson or one of those main events, big main events, Dean is always the coach. One of the reasons that they have Dean as the coach for it is he doesn’t put up with any bullsh*t at all. I’m glad to see him still working, but I’m very sad about his health problems that he’s had these days.”
We here at eWrestlingNews.com would like to send our best wishes to the man of a thousand holds.
