Here's a couple guys I think AEW should go after from WWE

Drew Gulak - Versatile performer. Fantastic heel work; great on the mic and ruthless in the ring. Very good in-ring technician. Stuck on 205 Live and not doing much at the moment.

Tozawa - Another performer who can do heel or face. Tremendous in the ring. Is over with the crowd and has in-ring charisma. Appeals to Japanese audience as well. Like Gulak, he is stuck in 205 Live and doesn't appear to have room for progression.

Gulak is a great pick. He's proved that he's a great utility guy. He can be comedic relief, he can be serious and he's very good in the ring. Comfortable cutting a promo too. Same with Tozawa. I'd put Kenta/Hideo Itami in this list too. He had some great matches with Mustafa Ali, and then nothing happened after that. He could be a great heel if used correctly.

True, I'm trying to keep this list realistic also. These guys are on the lower end of the pay scale and they don't have much going on. Plus, from AEW's perspective you would be getting great return in talent, guys who are still young and they probably would not have to overpay for them.

Couple more guys..

Noam Dar - He had a cup of coffee working with main roster talent. Another guy who is very young but versatile. He can do comedy as we saw but when given the opportunity he can also perform well in the ring. Watch his ring work from the British indies and you'll see. He's also comfortable and confident on the mic and he can play chickenshyt heel with the best of them. Appeals to the European audience.

Danny Burch and Oney Lorcan - This is a tremendous tag team down in NXT but I don't see much room for them on the main roster. They are very physical. Their style would appeal to both non-casual hardcore audiences and probably casuals as well because of how intense they are. Oney Lorcan was a machine on the indy scene, he'd be right back with the Bucks and a lot of guys he used to wrestle with at PWG events. They wouldn't cost much and AEW is going to need tag teams.

Joey Ryan is pretty much guaranteed. Just hope the tv deal cuts out the dikk shyt. He was a decent enough worker in PWG before the dikk flip trash

@Apex Is it weird that I'm tearing up from this shyt :mjcry:
We used to dream about this stuff, man. I remember praying something like this came around even back when Jeff Jarrett was doing GFW.

The health insurance thing is long overdue. It's time to change the wrestling landscape. Let's set new standards. 2019 is going to be a pivotal year and could go down more important than '96.

I remember watching Floyd fight in MGM a few times and thinking how cool wrestling would be there. It's all finally coming to fruition.

I'm honestly kind of shocked at how many times I've seen comments about hoping Joey Ryan doesn't come in, I just assumed everyone pretty much knew he was coming :pachaha:

There's about a 99.9% chance Excalibur & Rick Knox are coming too. Say what you want about the Bucks but they usually bring in their friends like Hogan always did when they can.
