All Elite Wrestling recently celebrated reaching an incredible milestone, as it hosted the Six Year Anniversary episode of its flagship show, Wednesday Night Dynamite, last week. The company is currently setting the stage for its upcoming pay-per-view, WrestleDream 2025, which is scheduled to emanate from the Chaifetz Arena in St. Louis, Missouri.

Multiple prominent All Elite Wrestling names have been speaking to media outlets to promote the Jacksonville-based promotion's recent shows and imminent events. However, on a recent edition of the Off The Ropes podcast, former WWE figure Jonathan Coachman talked about his failure at bringing All Elite talent on to their program for interviews, in spite of his efforts towards making that happen, stating:

“I have been working for the last week to get AEW talent on this show, especially myself, because I want people to know we talk about everyone and support everybody. But what I get is, ‘Ah, I gotta check here.’ The guy who runs media at AEW, I worked with him for 10 years at WWE, and no one has an answer.”

Is Triple H getting overconfident? Here are the signs!

"The Coach" argued that All Elite Wrestling ought to send its representatives on whichever platform is willing to promote their output, as the promotion is still establishing itself in the pro-wrestling industry.

“They should be saying yes right now, even if they don’t like the show or the person on it — they need the attention! AEW, you can come here. We’ll take you — public cry, call us. It’s hurting your brand and your talent. AEW, I know you don’t want to hear this, but you’re still the underdog, and there are people out there who want to support you. It’s not always an us vs. them situation. Let us help you." - said Coachman. [H/T - Ringside News]
