On a recent podcast, a discussion between Konnan and Disco Inferno on the Keepin’ It 100 Podcast came up about AEW turning in to the wrestling organization that ultimately failed in the early 2000’s after a successful run, WCW.
The topic started with the biggest free agent in wrestling, Bray Wyatt, and whether or not he should be hired by Tony Khan. The co-host/producer of the show, Joseph Feeney, chimed in with the thought that it would be a hard decision NOT to sign Bray:
“He’s probably going to join the already inflated AEW Roster and where are you going to put Bray when Aleister Black is kind of your dark sadistic character?” said Feeney. “They just don’t have space but at the same time, if you’re Tony Khan, how can you not sign Bray. He’s got a name and facial recoginition. And people are big fans. I would sign him if I was Tony. But then you would have to figure out what the f**k am I going to do with this guy, especially with Brian coming in now, and Punk’s already there.”
He would then follow up with:
“That place…if he doesn’t watch out, it’s going to turn into WCW,” Konnan replied.”
An interesting take from a talent that experienced the ups and downs of WCW and has also had the privilege of working with AEW recently, and been backstage getting a first hand look at how they operate.
