#5 Disco Inferno wants AEW to fire Don Callis from the company
There is only one Diamond in this business kid…. And you are looking at him ….. @KennyOmegamanX @MarkMaddenX https://t.co/64MxcOxGOD
Disco Inferno recently questioned Don Callis' position in AEW after his client Kenny Omega took an indefinite hiatus due to multiple health concerns.
While speaking on Keepin' It 100 podcast, the WCW veteran bluntly stated that Callis is "useless" right now in Omega's absence, so the company should "fire" him:
"I mean, they don't need him, they should just fire him, just get rid of the guy," said Inferno. "He's useless right now. He's Kenny Omega's manager, and Kenny Omega is not around, so they don't need him."
Do u ever wonder how people who have never been in a match or taken a bump are able to “rate matches”? Just ask me and @KennyOmegamanX we will tell you how many stars https://t.co/fcszCS7yaF
Don Callis has played a managerial role for Omega since the latter dethroned Jon Moxley at the "Winter is Coming" episode of Dynamite last year. Both men had a fruitful partnership together when The Cleaner held the AEW World and IMPACT World Championships.
Callis played a pivotal role in helping Omega retain his championship on several occasions. It will be interesting to see what the company has in store for the manager now that his client has taken a leave of absence. Callis previously worked with the Young Bucks, but he had been focused on Omega prior to the beginning of the former champion's hiatus.
