All Elite Wrestling/ALL IN 2 - paperwork been filed, in a positive sense. :ohhh:

[TBdaGhost]

I don't fukk with Orton or Ambrose whatsoever. But I would have said the same about Stardust a couple years ago and what Cody had done is pretty remarkable. So I'm willing to give dudes a chance.

Yeah, the intrigue of seeing WWE guys potentially doing something different with no restraints will be half the fun of AEW.

Breh, we've seen what Ambrose can do without restraints. He fukking sucked in the indys for the most part

Wrestling wise yes but he did some very good promo work in my view

 

[JerseyBoy23]

Any know a good breh who isn't signed to any televised promotions? Seems like WWE, Impact, ROH, and MLW got all the good black talent tied down.

There is the first step to Penta & Fenix ending up exclusive


People looked up at all the new money & decided fukk these goofy LU contracts.

Also a sign to AEW to not mess up as bad as LU. Only 4 years ago, LU was the hottest promotion in wrestling now their DOA.

Still can't believe they decided against touring or selling merch. Why couldn't they do any of those things

No merch?

They signed and agreed to them though. And considering that LU already lets a lot of their talent work other promotions now without any issue, it seems this is just talent forcibly trying to get out of their contracts completely.

It's kinda fukked up how so many wrestlers treat LU like their evil stepmom, for many of them LU made their careers.

 

[Prince Akeem]

Yikes. This can't be good for LU's rep.

LU's rep has been trash for a while now with those cash money-esque contracts.

AEW signing exclusive contracts seems to be pretty antithetical to what the Bucks (and Cody, I guess) are all about and what spurred this thing into existence in the first place. All In was a celebration of the indies as a whole, a Super Bowl of indie wrestling show. AEW signing people to contracts and getting top priority or outright taking talents away from companies that can't pay the same is going to be weird.

WWE Hall of Famer, Booker T was candidly speaking on his Heated Conversations podcast about the developing roster of the newly formed, All Elite Wrestling. Booker explained that signing pro wrestlers to their roster that have already had exposure in promotions like TNA/Impact Wrestling may ultimately hurt AEW. The 5-Time World Champion believes that performers like Kazarian and Christopher Daniels will cause viewers to automatically associate to their past runs in TNA.

And when I see a guy like Kazarian, when I see a guy like Daniels, I see TNA. It's just a constant reminder. All the rest of these other names - Fenix - and those guys, I've never heard of these guys before, man, I wanna check this guy. I wanna see what he's got. When you say Christopher Daniels, I go, oh, I know what he got. I've seen him do the moonsaults a couple times. I've seen Kazarian."

"Chris Jericho, brings star power. Chris Jericho is like Mick Jagger, you know what I'm saying? When Mick Jagger walk in, man you don't ask how old is this guy, you go, man that's Mick Jagger! Man I gotta get an autograph, do you think I could get a picture with him?! You know what I mean? That's what you think when Mick Jagger walk in and that's what Chris Jericho brings to the table. Now, not saying that people's eyebrows don't raise up when Daniels and Kazarian walk in, but, not like Chris Jericho."

They arent signing exclusives.

Any bets on who will be the new signings announced this evening?

I'd imagine the Omega signing will be official. Maybe announcing The Undertaker appearing at Starrcast.
