Fish also noted that the inmates cannot run the asylum, which is something WWE Hall of Famers Road Dogg and Eric Bischoff have both also said about AEW.

“The inmates cannot run the asylum,” Fish added. “There has to be a governor put on. The creativity is great, but like I said, there has to be a governor for it. Something that funnels it into something constructive, as opposed to — I mean, how many times are people just trying to get their s*** in or suspicious of like, ‘Oh, well, this guy’s just trying to get his s*** in.’ That creates dissension. That doesn’t create unity in the locker room.”

The former “NXT” Tag Team Champion concluded by praising the black and gold era of “NXT.”

“That’s where I think a company can be successful is when it feels like, ‘Okay, well, you know, we’re going out there to put on the best g**d*** show we can put on.’ And I’ll say this, that’s what ‘NXT’ Black and Gold felt like, the TakeOvers. It felt like it was seven to eight matches and everybody was getting a decent amount of time and stories the fans were invested in, so we’re all gonna go out there and just try to have a great show.”
