#3. Tony Khan reveals how the four-men commentary team would work on AEW Rampage

A dream commentary desk team for any show?

AEW president and co-owner of the Jacksonville Jaguars, Tony Khan, recently revealed they would try a different pair of combinations at the commentary booth, and it won't always be four men on the desk.

There's no doubt that AEW stars Chris Jericho, Mark Henry, Excalibur, and Taz are at their absolute best when it comes to mic skills. However, having four men calling a one-hour show seems unsuitable.

So I'm hearing and seeing things about #AEWRampage coming up in one week. The switch around and commentary stuff is a little weird to say the least. Not sure putting four people in one booth is a good idea. Even a three-person booth is a stretch. #AEW

Speaking on a recent edition of Busted Open Radio, Tony Khan stated that the current plan is to have all four men accustomed to a different role on the show. Given Mark Henry's multitasking ability, he would be required to do backstage interviews and stuff.

The AEW chief also mentioned that Chris Jericho won't always be on the commentary table due to his involvement in wrestling matches:

Well it’s going to be a four man booth for part of the show, but it’s not exactly,” Khan said. “It’s not always going to be a four man booth. We are going to have four hosts to the show, but because of Busted Open, Mark is in a really unique position. I think he’s a great host, a great interviewer. So I’m going to have Mark roving. He’s going to stay on his toes, cause I think he’ll be out there with the guys and calling some of the action. But also we’ll call Mark into duty and he’ll do interviews, some sit downs. And we’ll get different perspectives from Mark, so he’ll be all over the place during the show. And we’ll get a lot of face time and hear from him a lot. There will be times where I think it will be a three man booth,” Khan said. (H/T- WrestlingInc)
