Key AEW figure discloses major issue Tony Khan's promotion shares with WWE
It's never a dull day in the world of professional wrestling, with companies like WWE and AEW having their fair share of issues. Hence, All Elite Wrestling figures have recently spotted one major issue that both companies have.
The figure in question is backstage announcer, commentator and producer Tony Schiavone, who has seen his fair share of issues in many companies, given the amount of time he has been in the business.
But the one thing that Schiavone feels that companies like WWE and AEW have wrong with them is that there are far too many talents who are underused, spending their time sitting, catering and doing nothing.
Alongside Andrade this fella might be the most underused talent in AEW. Just purely from a talent to exposure ratio

On his "What Happened When" podcast, here's what Schiavone had to say about companies having too many guys sitting in catering:
“WWE has it, we have it in AEW, we had it back in WCW … guys that’ll show up and just go to catering, they’ve nothing to do. I think it’s a problem with sports teams, and I consider us a sports team. I bet you there are problems in the NFL, I bet there are players that think they should be playing and don’t get to play.” (H/T WrestleTalk)
Tony Khan has been criticized in the past as well for signing too many people while not having enough TV time to showcase everyone. Will this issue ever get resolved? Only time will tell
