Man!A WWE veteran believes Tony Khan's signing spree points to lack of creativityGiven Tony Khan's tendency to sign stars released by the Stamford-based promotion, Grizzled Young Veterans could well be featured in AEW. However, Vince Russo believes the All Elite President signs new talent for all the wrong reasons.On a recent episode of Writing with Russo, the industry veteran speculated that Tony Khan was simply not creative, leading him to bring in new stars to generate hype.&quot;I don't think Tony Khan cares about ratings. At this point, I just don't think he cares about ratings. I think why Tony Khan keeps bringing in all these people is because he has nothing creatively. So the only creative, and you've talked about this Chris, the only creative is the new body. 'We got a new body.' That's why I think he keeps bringing new bodies in.&quot; (4:15 - 4:46)As of now, it remains to be seen whether the Grizzled Young veterans will join AEW.Do you want to see James Drake and Zack Gibson in the Jacksonville-based promotion?
