Former WWE manager Dutch Mantell has revealed his issue regarding Dan Lambert. Mantell believes that Lambert was never a good fit in TNA and has suggested how AEW could use him better.

Lambert has been a part of AEW for a while now. Over the past few months, the American Top Team owner has been managing The Men Of The Year. He also recently aligned himself with the returning Lance Archer.

On Sportskeeda Wrestling's latest edition of Smack Talk, Mantell claimed that Lambert isn't a bad talker, but he isn't that good either. He concluded by stating that AEW needs to go more in-depth with him.

"Now Dan Lambert, he runs a school? In Miami? TNA had him for a while and I never understood how he really fit in. I don't think he fit in TNA that well. Not a bad talker but he's not a good talker either, because I'm not aware of what he's got. You gotta go more in-depth with him and his connections in that world," said Mantell. [48:52 – 50:09]

Lambert seems to be settling into his role with Men of the Year, but some fans still aren't ready to accept him as a regular part of AEW programming. The MMA trainer is known for his long-winded promos in which he cuts down the modern pro wrestling style.
