Dutch Mantell shares what AEW does better than WWE (Exclusive)
Dutch Mantell believes AEW offers more unique angles than WWE. The legendary manager gave his honest take while reviewing the latest SmackDown and Rampage episodes on Sportskeeda Wrestling.
After reviewing this week's Rampage and SmackDown, Mantell felt WWE's main issue was the company's reliance on a few notable names. Both of their flagship shows often feature the same talents every week.
While he was not a fan of WWE's approach. Dutch Mantell praised Tony Khan's team for being unpredictable with their booking. Here's what Mantell had to say during his review on Smack Talk:
"They have the same people on week after week, and that is the success of AEW. They don't have the same people week after week after week. And that's what I like about them because you don't know what you're going to get." [33:50 - 34:10]
Dutch Mantell also provided a quick lowdown on how WWE structures its SmackDown cards. He quipped about the promotion's typical pattern and mentioned a few superstars who've recently received TV time, including Shanky. However, he did like Madcap Moss' segment with Corbin.
"With SmackDown, you literally sit down and say, 'Okay, let's start with New Day, then let's go to the Lotharios.' You know Shanky is going to be in there. The best part of the show, in my view, that I enjoyed the most was Madcap and Corbin. I kind of liked that; at least they did something." [34:11 - 34:40]
