10 Wrestlers AEW Tried (And Failed) To Get Over

Sitting as one of the first casualties of a rapidly growing All Elite roster, news of Marko Stunt's departure from Tony Khan's company earlier this month, while admittedly unfortunate, felt somewhat inevitable.

Jumping back to those early days of The Land of All Elite suggested a different ending to this tale, however, as the Jurassic Express cheerleader frequently found himself being well utilised as a high-flying complement to Jungle Boy and Luchasaurus' innovative offence or a sack of meat to be pulverised by whatever indomitable heel needed a dominant victory over a plucky face.

Dynamic beatings at hands of Brodie Lee and Lance Archer in 2020 likely sat as Stunt's most eye-catching achievements within an All Elite ring, though, in all honesty. And as the talent level kept rising by the month in a deeply competitive AEW landscape, TK's attempts to keep Stunt relevant as his go-to Fun Size underdog begun to fall flat towards the latter part of 2021.

With the likes of Fuego Del Sol and Matt Sydal making for more compelling elastic jobbers to chew on at this current moment, too, the writing was always on the wall for this energetic youngster.
