WWE Hall of Famer Eric Bischoff, widely respected for his invaluable insights into the pro wrestling industry, has regularly been criticizing AEW for a lot of things and that includes Tony Khans ability as a booker. In fact, he stated that even a monkey can be a better booker than Tony Khan.
If it wasnt clear already, Eric Bischoff isnt the biggest fan of AEW. He doesnt even believeAEW is contributing anything to the world of professional wrestling, unlike what WWE does.
It was recently reported that AEW spends around $104 million on talent every year, which is certainly a lot. In the meantime, there has been a lot of criticism towards Tony Khans booking decisions lately.
While speaking on the Keepin it 100 podcast, Eric Bischoff addressed AEW spending millions of dollars a year for talent contracts. Bischoff criticized the management, stating that many wrestlers earn substantial amounts but are rarely on television, likening their situation to being in a witness protection program.
Bischoff questioned the ridiculous spending, pointing out Mercedes Mones reported $5 million salary per year and her creative control, noting skepticism about Khans decision-making. Bischoff then suggested that even a young monkey with a case of bananas could potentially outperform Khan as a booker.
Eric Bischoff even stated that AEW is bleeding on the table when it comes to their storylines. Nevertheless, only time will tell if Tony Khan will be able to improve his booking and counter all the criticism meted against him for so long.
