During a recent edition of his “Keepin’ It 100” podcast, former WCW and WWE wrestler Konnan expressed his belief that Kamille’s booking in AEW has been “terrible” so far. He said,
“They got to her too early and diluted her effectiveness. Just about everybody, from Shida to Statlander to Britt Baker. Everybody got to her. That’s not much of a bodyguard. Just like I said with Lashley and Swerve, I think her and Mone in a program is way too early.”
During a recent edition of the “Busted Open Radio” podcast, Mark Henry commented on AEW’s creative booking these days.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On needing arguments in creative: “[Creative] is supposed to be an argument. It’s supposed to be a shake-up to figure out what the f*** to do next,” Henry said. “[But] everybody want to circle jerk over [in AEW]. And you can’t do that. You gotta disagree. Me and Bully [Ray] -for years- we disagreed, but…We knew what we were fussing at was the greater good of the match and of the show.”
On lack of authority: “There’s a reason that [NFL coach Bill] Belichick is Belichick,” Henry explained. “There’s a reason that John Wooden is John Wooden, that Pat Patterson was Pat Patterson, that Dusty Rhodes was Dusty Rhodes. Bow down to their greatness and let them lead you.”
Lee Moriarty faced off against Bryan Danielson on the February 16, 2022 edition of AEW Dynamite, and he recently appeared on The Ringer’s “Masked Man Show” to discuss what he learned from the match.
Moriarty said, “It taught me how to be more aggressive with a technical style because as amazing of a technical wrestler he is, he’s an extremely aggressive wrestler. You see that in his matches with RUSH, with Moxley, people like that. So it helped me in that aspect of finding that next gear when it comes to being more mean instead of wrestling so pretty. It just taught me to, like I was saying, just be more loose with the game plan because things are gonna change. There’s things that he did that I didn’t plan on because if you watch three Bryan Danielson matches in AEW this past year, there’s not really a pattern like you were talking about. He adapts his style to his opponents whether he’s wrestling MJF, Hechicero, or Moxley. He’s gonna change it so you can’t always plan. There’s little things he will do consistently, but the way that he gets to them are different.”
