Dean Malenko On What Vince McMahon Said To Him When Agent Got Changed To Producer
Posted By: Dustin on Mar 26, 2021
AEW producer Dean Malenko recalled what Vince McMahon said to him whenever the term "agent" was dropped.
Malenko left WWE in 2019, and then he soon signed with AEW soon after Chris Jericho left the company.
âIt was fun. I thought we had a great relationship in the beginning,â Malenko stated. âIt didnât really get bad at the end either. Itâs just that I thought it was time for me to go and join someone else. Vince is very stern, and itâs his show and we get that. I donât think he expected anything less than perfection or didnât want anything less than perfection. I think he trusted me a lot, just going out there and helping talent, and try to get the best match, and camera angles and teach guys the business a little bit, kind of what I do here.â
He then recalled the switch from being an agent to a producer, and what Vince said to him.
âWe were at the Hammerstein Ballroom,â Malenko recalled. âVince said, âFrom now on, thereâs no more agents. I donât know what agents do. You are now a producer. You help produce the matches. So from this day forward youâre a producer.â So I couldnât help myself. I raised my hand. âYes, Dean,â and I go, âDo producers make more money than agents?â He goes, âNo, pretty much the same.â But now Iâm a producer.â
Jericho asked him how tough the position had to have been sitting with Vince in Gorilla.Â
âYou put on a live telecast most of the times, and you want to do the best you can. Itâs his show, and if he wants to scream at you, itâs his business,â Malenko pointed out. âSometimes you have to be extremely hardened to work in that kind of job, in that kind of environment. Itâs not the easiest environment to work into. Thereâs a lot of guys that could have made really good producers.
âThey looked at me and go, âThere was no way in hell I would ever take that job. I couldnât do what you do.â I used to hear that a lot. I still hear that. âI couldnât do what you do,â and itâs a very taxing job. Itâs very stressful because thereâs expectations of you to succeed every night and make sure things are different. It was a ride for sure.â
