He is a natural talker with charisma and presence that you just can't teach. The playfight game doesn't need more flippers. It doesn't need more "indy darlings". It doesn't need to emulate the glory of the past. It needs to be relevant, it needs to be entertaining, it needs to appeal to today's youth. IT NEEDS BIG DRACO.

Backstage News On WWE's Unique Deals For The Young Bucks, Kenny Omega's Status, Hangman Page In NXT

As has been previously reported, Cody Rhodes, The Young Bucks and Hangman Page turned down WWE offers in order to be a part of the new All Elite Wrestling promotion, headed by Jacksonville Jaguars co-owner Tony Khan.

Triple H reportedly had worked hard and offered unique deals in hopes of signing all four, according to Dave Meltzer in the latest edition of The Wrestling Observer Newsletter. According to Meltzer, Page's deal was to work NXT for main roster money. Page was to have been pushed as one the top stars on the brand.

WWE also had a unique three-year deal for the Bucks, which would have been for the same amount of money as A.J. Styles. The WWE deal included having their Being The Elite show airing weekly on the WWE Network. It also had a unique six-month window that would have allowed them out of their contracts if they weren't happy.

It was noted that The Elite had roughly 12 hours of discussions with Triple H, and they praised him for how things were handled. Apparently Triple H also saw the humor in the Being the Elite episode where the Bucks superkicked Kazarian, who was dressed like Triple H, repeatedly as their way of publicly turning down the WWE offer.

Cody Rhodes Says AEW Won't Be Hiring Writers Anytime Soon

Over the last week, we've heard many of the names that will comprise All Elite Wrestling's active roster. From Cody and The Young Bucks to Hangman Page and Chris Jericho, the roster is taking shapeand fans can expect a solid product in the ring.

But there hasn't been as much discussion about the behind-the-scenes personnel involved with AEW. Outside of Billy Gunnbeing a producer, we haven't heard much else about the agents, production staff or writers.

There's a good reason for that as Cody Rhodes said that the promotion isn't looking to hire writers any time soon. Cody had an interview with sescoops.com where he said the "wrestlers are the writers" and talent doesn't need to be micro-managed.

"We're talking bullet points, we're talking an overall knowledge of the business, and hey, let them go out and play," said Cody. "Take a look back at the wrestling you and I love. For the most part, they're all grown men and women doing what they were hired to do. They've cut their teeth, they've paid their dues and now they're going to go out there and play their music. I would very much like a presentation that mirrors that. We don't need to micro-manage and we certainly don't need to script a great deal of the product we're planning."

Cody said he has good relationships with lots of available writers/producers out there including Eric Bischoff, Bruce Prichard and Jim Cornette. But for now, he plans on keeping things in-house and let the talent be the driving forces behind AEW Creative.

"This is probably going to be an unpopular thing to say, but I will say it. There won't be a writer hired for All Elite Wrestling any time soon," admitted Cody. "Because wrestlers are the writers. We're the writers. Like I said with guys going out there and playing their own music, believe me – the day comes that I see 'this is something we can really benefit from' – absolutely, but I knew 40 writers in WWE and about four of them actually did anything. The reason I remember them and value them, they helped produce pre-tapes, they were team players, so right now that's one thing we've gotten a lot of questions about. We're keeping it very in-house for now."

Some of this could be due to budget concerns or it could be, as Cody said, many writers don't actually do much to impact the product. As of now All Elite Wrestling has just one event on its schedule with Double or Nothing in May, so there is also not likely a need for a writing team at this time.

AEW isn't hiring writers? Wow, I hope they have some good ideas. BTE is kind of corny. Not a fan of their wink-wink nudge-nudge type of humor. I think Kenny and Cody have had some interesting ideas outside of BTE though.

Also, they randomly signed Luke Perry's son to a deal.

This decision seems fueled by the people involved. Jericho's career has been a lot of stuff where he would just make up a gimmick/personality/feud and go with it. Cody has done similar with the way he transformed Dashing Cody Rhodes into Undashing Cody Rhodes after he had his nose legit broken. Add Omega who is always talked about as someone aspiring creative freedom in wrestling and it's easy to see a fed led by those three would go with a 'wrestlers decide the angles' production.
