Eric Bischoff Critiques AEW Having ‘No Balance’ With Managers

WWE Hall of Famer Eric Bischoff has critiqued AEW having “no balance” with its use of on-screen managers for talent.

Bischoff seemed to be suggesting that all the managers being badass ex-wrestlers, with there being no ‘flunky’ managers, is a problem.

Speaking on his 83 Weeks podcast, he said:

“Arn (Anderson), Tully (Blanchard), Jake (Roberts), these are serious shoot asskicking motherf**kers. There’s no Jimmy Harts in that conversation, there’s no balance. Yes AEW is doing a great job in terms of integrating some of the legends, I being one of them occasionally getting to show up and I love that. Balancing the serious, intense with the high-flying, super athletic ridiculous skill sets but still have some of that goofy s**t mixed in so that the whole audience is satisfied. Not just the portion of the audience that identifies with one specific era or style of wrestling.”

There are too many managers in AEW for me to list them all right now, but the recent addition of Mark Sterling comes to mind as someone who balances this trend somewhat, although he’s only involved in the women’s division with Jade Cargill at the moment.

Do you think Eric Bischoff is pointing out a legitimate problem?
