10 AEW Stars Who Desperately Need More TV Time
10. Marko Stunt
“Mr Fun Size” has been the subject of much speculation in recent weeks, particularly when he didn’t show up to help Jurassic Express celebrate their Tag Team Championship victory. Marko hasn’t had a match for AEW since September and it’s been even longer since he wrestled on Dynamite or Rampage. Christian has seemingly usurped him both in the Express’ trios bouts and as ringside support.
Meanwhile, Stunt has made himself available for indie bookings (though crucially not yet for Wednesday nights). Dave Meltzer has confirmed that Stunt is still under contract with AEW but also speculated that when his contract is up it might not get renewed, which would be a real shame. There’s still a role for him to play in the company.
Nobody thinks Marko Stunt should be World Champion but wrestling companies also need guys who can be beaten. As a warm body to get chucked around by a monster heel Stunt is world class. Just look at his squash matches against Lance Archer or Mr Brodie Lee.
Not only does “Mr Fun Size” make those guys look like actual giants, his prominent role with Jurassic Express and connection with the fans means he elicits far more sympathy than any given local enhancement talent. All of which helps the heel get over as even more monstrous and despicable.
