If Kenny Omega doesn't sign with AEW, does that immediately make it hard to take seriously as a competitor?

Maybe not, but it definitely starts to raise some questions.

If the whole goal of this is these guys wanting to create their own place to work with creative freedom and get paid, and they can't get their own homie to sign up after he was telling the same story.....

If I were a wrestler, I'd wonder just how good the money is supposed to be, and just how much creative leeway I'd get.

Can't "Change The World"™ when you're just another guy in WWE, but you sure can make a lot of money there. Guess we'll find out which is more important by the end of the month. :ehh:

I think Omega should (and I want to see) re-sign with NJPW and work out a limited date/pay per appearance with AEW. AEW isn't going to be anything more than a TV show & Fite.TV streams more than likely (and none of that looks to be starting up until the fall at the earliest), so having Omega signed exclusively when he isn't involved/invested in running or booking the company isn't really necessary.

It'll be a really bad look for AEW and The Elite if they can't even sign one of their best friends.

If they were to be on a big tv station in a good time slot you would think the station would want live programming. I can't see them running a show every week.

I can't see a big tv station paying for and giving a time slot to an hour of taped wrestling :yeshrug:

I don't read Meltzer at all aside from what gets posted here, so I'll have to take your word for it.

If so, he should've known that someone was going to eventually question his relationship with them. Breh still should've gone all the way with it and at least said his name in the tweet.

he talks about it a lot on WOR with Alvarez which I listen to pretty regularly I actually don't read the actual news letter unless he writes something I want to learn more about.:manny:

Omega is just looking for a bigger paycheck. The only reason he's openly flirting with WWE is so that Khan dude will offer him a bigger contract. He could've signed to AEW off the bat but if he can get WWE to put a ridiculous offer on the table (as they supposedly have), then he can take that and ask for an better offer from AEW. And Cody and the Bucks will tell Khan they need him so he will get it. I guarentee that's the game Omega is playing.

And you think the robotic charisma free, devoid of any personality promos that 99% of the WWE cut is cutting it? :hhh:
fallacy argument playboy. :ufdup: This aint about WWE. This is about Kenny Omega cutting them trash ass "anime villain" promos and whether or not it will be a hit with american wrestling fans.

Yawn....


I do.

Greatness rises to the top no matter what

Word to aj styles and Daniel bryan
and when greatness doesn't rise to the top, yall use automatic out..."WWE misused them"...and yes i'm talking about Shinsuke. And Comparing AJ styles to Omega...lmao. I'll give you DB because i really don't think highly of dude. But AJ is damn near a once in a generation talent he translates worldwide. Tell me if U.S. fans will "get" this?

1: that's breh playing to the audience. You don't cut a US style promo in Japan and hope that it gets you over.

2: breh, have you SEEN the interests of an average wrestling fan these days? Breh is speaking their language. :mjlol:


nikkas stay writing some shyt off just because it ain't for them.
