10 Wrestlers Who MUST Be Signed For All Elite Wrestling

5. Marko Stunt

Cm Punk
All In

Marko Stunt made enough of a name of himself in just 10 2018 encounters to earn a spot in ALL IN's celebrated 'Over The Budget' battle royal, reflecting just how powerful word-of-social media can be in the modern age.

The industry favours traditionally smaller performers more than ever, but Stunt's...stunted stature leaves him a level below even the smallest WWE Cruiserweight or NJPW Junior Heavyweight.

A feature player on Joey Janela's Lost In New York card just days before his ALL IN appearance, Stunt's loss on the show to KTB (Kyle The Beast) made Marko a viral sensation on their size difference alone. 'Mr Fun Size' looked positively miniscule next to his giant foe, but the pair crafted numerous eye-popping spots to make the most of their altered states.

Stunt's harnessed the popularity from his summer showcases to get himself regularly booked ever since, but a more permanent home may be how he makes the best of his current situation. Whilst he seems a perfect fit for WWE's land of the giants, Marko might actually be too small there. If All Elite Wrestling needs a safe bet for an exciting opener, there are fewer out there with a greater currency.
