All Elite Wrestling announced this morning that Dean Malenko has signed with the company as its Senior Producer/Coach just weeks after quitting his long-time position as a Producer for WWE. The announcement reads:

Globally Renowned Producer & Coach Dean Malenko Joins AEW

-- AEW Signs Malenko to Multi-Year Deal as Senior Producer / Coach --

Las Vegas, NV (May 24, 2019) – AEW today announced a multi-year deal with world-renowned coach, producer and wrestler Dean Malenko. Effective immediately, the former No. 1-ranked wrestler in the PWI (Pro Wrestling Illustrated) 500 will take on the role as Senior Producer / Coach.

Malenko, who spent the past 18 years producing and coaching some of the biggest starts in wrestling, is a second-generation wrestler trained by his father, the acclaimed Boris Malenko. Malenko’s impact will be immediate as he joins AEW this weekend at DOUBLE OR NOTHING, the highly-anticipated event on Saturday, May 25, at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

“Dean Malenko has been a massive force behind some of today’s biggest wrestling stars,” said Cody Rhodes, EVP of AEW. “He’s never stopped being a major talent who was part of the ECW revolution as well as a fixture in the cruiserweight movement on Nitro. He’s kept an open mind to our world from Lucha Libre to Japanese pro-wrestling. He’s the perfect fit for our sports- centric mentality, and his experience will be invaluable for our team. Welcome Coach!”

“It’s not often you get an opportunity late in your career to be a part of building something from the ground floor,” said Dean Malenko. “The freedom to be able to contribute uninhibited will only lend itself to foster creativity and produce an outstanding product. I’m excited about what the future holds for AEW, and I can’t wait to be a part of the journey.” pwinsider.com/article/126708/dean-malenko-signs-with-aew.html?p=1

>All Incels tell Cody to sign "Dean"
>He signs Dean Malenko
Is Simon Dean next?

So not only is AEW WWE-lite they are going to be taught a 3 decade old style by a boring manlet?

Good on Dean fleecing as much money from the Khans so that he can enjoy retirement

Imagine how TNA would've handled this back in the day

>you asked for it and we listened, we've signed Dean...
>crowd goes nuts
>Malenko walks out
>a pin drops

>a vanilla midget who never drew a single dime his entire career is the senior producer for AEWho
And people say this company isn’t DOA?

For their purpose and audience who is only engrossed with epic matches he fits the bill.

>not titling this Dean joins AEW with an AEW logo image to fool people

You're an idiot op

Can you link to some TNA moments like that?

One off the top of my head is Tito Ortiz
>hire one of the big UFC names
>don't even advertise the dude on television
>time comes for his first appearance, dudes are commentary are selling like this is huge but the live crowd is so silent I could hear people texting on their phones
>poor dude standing there in an enforcer pose with arms crossed probably wishing he got into movies like Couture
