AEW coach Dean Malenko said to have been dealing with “serious health problems”

During his What Happened When, AEW announcer Tony Schiavone talked about how Dean Malenko has been working backstage for AEW despite health issues…

“His health is not good. We had him on Starrcast in Chicago. No one had really talked about it, but he mentioned that he had Parkinson’s. He’s also had a heart attack. He’s got diabetes. So he’s had some serious, serious health problems, but he’s still a part of AEW backstage.”

“They always make sure that he’s, of the big matches when you see like Moxley or Danielson or one of those main events, big main events, Dean is always the coach. One of the reasons that they have Dean as the coach for it is he doesn’t put up with any bullsh*t at all. I’m glad to see him still working, but I’m very sad about his health problems that he’s had these days.” (quotes courtesy of WrestlingNews.co)
