Fuego Del Sol comments on the size of AEW's roster.
For the past year or so, many fans have began to criticize All Elite Wrestling for not being able to utilize all of their stars in a proper manner, mainly due to the limited amount of television time that the company had to work with at that time.
With the recent debut of AEW Collision, many stars such as Miro, the House Of Black, and Andrade El Idolo have been put in more prominent positions within the company.
In a new interview with Nick Hausman of the Haus Of Wrestling podcast, Fuego Del Sol was asked if he thinks that the roster in AEW is still too big.
“Yes and no. I’ll never be mad at people collecting a paycheck, man. There’s so many guys that work so hard in that locker room, there’s guys that are so talented that haven’t got to show it yet. Some people don’t like them, but The Gunns man. They work on their bodies, they’re extremely charismatic and you don’t get to see how charismatic they really are. Someone like Anthony Agogo, who is an Olympic wrestler. He comes in and trains his ass off to make it as a pro wrestler and he’s jacked, he can talk. He’s got this legitimate background, he doesn’t get that opportunity yet. There’s so many guys that aren’t being used, that haven’t got that opportunity to show out as of yet, but I can’t be mad that they’re getting paid because they deserve to get paid, they’re just waiting on their opportunity. So, with the introduction of Ring Of Honor, with the introduction of Collision, with the introduction of house shows, I think more than anything, there just needs to be a proper structure [showing] how much has this guy got to wrestle this month? Is he getting better? [Implement] a grading system, how was his matches here, here, and here? Should we get him on the show more, should we get him on the show less? There’s a balance to it all. I can’t say they have too many guys, I’ll never be mad at guys making a paycheck. However, there’s definitely times when you feel like people aren’t getting used as much as you want them to be or as much as you think they should be.”
Del Sol's contract with All Elite Wrestling expired on July 1, 2023. 'The Master Of The Tornado DDT' is currently a free agent and is wrestling on the independent scene.
Elsewhere in the interview, Del Sol talked about Cody Rhodes and how he thinks Tony Khan never believed in him the way Rhodes did. Fans can learn more here.
