Tony Khan On AEW Talent Being Underutilized

Tony Khan recently made an appearance on the Grapsody podcast, where he touched on a variety of subjects.

The AEW President spoke candidly about recent criticisms regarding underutilizing talent in the company.

“You’re never going to keep everybody happy. You have to think about that. You have people that are going to be a focus week-to-week, Eddie’s a big part of tonight’s show, we’ll see Eddie on ‘Rampage,’ tonight,” Tony Khan said. “Throughout those three hours [of Dynamite and Rampage] you see lots of names, but there’s lots of names you aren’t seeing in AEW every week, and sometimes they’re silent about that, and sometimes there’s a reason: somebody’s hurt, somebody’s working on another project, somebody’s getting repackaged, or frankly, there’s just not enough slots on three hours.” 

Khan went on to compare AEW to other major sports leagues in the United States as well. He stated, “It’s not really common in the NFL for the backup quarterback to complain to the coach that he’s not playing. It’s not common in the NBA for the backup point guard to slight the coach because he’s not getting minutes. I take it with a smile, and I’ll keep taking it with a smile. It’s ok. I understand that everyone wants to wrestle and wants to do things.”
