With both AEW and WWE’s rosters now ballooning to the point that there’s not enough TV time to accommodate the talent, it’s no surprise that some wrestlers would begin to get frustrated with a lack of bookings. And for Willie Mack, a wrestler that some may not remember is even signed to AEW, those frustrations boiled over on X late Tuesday evening.
“When ya boy is about to become a homeless superhero because the booker doesn’t think he’s worth the money,” Mack tweeted before mockingly adding the hashtag #WhereTheBestWrestle.
Just a few hours later, Mack’s frustrations came out again with a follow up tweet, where he criticized AEW/Ring of Honor owner Tony Khan for not allowing him to wrestle more.
“It’s like for 2 years straight I’d call every week and ask if you got anything for me?” Mack said. “‘You signed right? You still getting paid right?’ I want to wrestle.”
Mack first began making appearances for AEW and Ring of Honor back in 2023, though he has only wrestled sporadically for the promotion over the past few years, including just six matches between the two promotions in 2025, and hasn’t worked for either AEW or ROH so far in 2026. Mack’s lack of work for either had often led to people wondering if he actually was signed to AEW, but it was confirmed Mack was under some sort of deal in late 2024 after he was pulled from GCW bookings during a dispute between AEW and GCW.
The 39 year old Mack has wrestled for several major promotions during his career, including AAA, MLW, NWA, and TNA, though he is best known for his run in Lucha Underground as The Mack, where he competed for all four seasons. During his time away from AEW and ROH, Mack has continued to keep busy, primarily competing for Juggalo Championship Wrestling, where he is one half of the current JCW Tag Team Champions.
