AEW has pulled off one of its biggest signings to date by securing the signature of longtime WWE veteran Mark Henry.

AEW has brought in the WWE Hall of Famer as an analyst and coach, and Henry has already pointed to a glaring issue in most AEW matches. Mark Henry appeared on Renee Paquette's Oral Sessions podcast, where he explained the problem of repetition in AEW matches.

Henry gave the example of topes and noted how the high-flying move is overdone on AEW programming. Henry also brought up The Young Bucks' superkicks and stated that it's illogical to have other wrestlers execute multiple superkicks on a show before the Bucks wrestle their match.

"Wrestling-wise, I want to see less… I want everyone to watch the matches before them because there is a repetition thing. Someone will do a tope, and the next match will have two topes, and the next will have three. Stop trying to out-do what you saw before and find something else to do. Repetition is a pet peeve of mine, and I feel you're not watching the product if you go do something and someone else did the same thing. I love the Bucks doing superkicks. Why are there three matches on the card where someone does a superkick before them? If that was me, I would be upset about it," Henry explained. H/t Fightful
