Contract and Free Agency Thread

I still have a hard time picturing any U.S promotion being able to book Okada properly. He's very similar to FTR in the sense he's kinda made for being a champ/fighting for the main belt or being portrayed as the best in the division. That's not how U.S wrestling works.

Ospreay
Okada
Mercedes

If TK pulls off having all three of those sign or join on the first quarter, Jesus. If this were like the NBA, that would be executive of the year material.

The people who think Okada and Ospreay are a big deal are already watching AEW, they aren't gonna add any new fans

Sasha on the other hand has the potential to bring in an audience that previously hasn't given AEW a chance

Brock would be another example I guess. You do get what I mean though, right? That's not a role you get as a Foreigner who barely speaks the language and it's noot a role that works with weekly appearences (shyt, how hated is Charlotte at this point lol).

Brock would be another example I guess.

Brock to me is like an attraction like Andre The Giant was. A lot of it happened to be for a belt because they were cool with him leaving for months on end but there were usually two titles so it was whatever.

Triple H's heel character in his later years as a Ric Flair cosplay was very much like Charlotte Flair from 2016-2023.

What they had in common, however, no sign either character was good for business.

He’s going to the Dub to “dream match” his way through 2024 like every big signing TK does…

Yes but he’s also the worst booker in the business

OKADA IN THE E PLEASE

Okada vs Gunther at Mania cementing Okada as the real deal and letting Gunther move on to the world title would be the best case scenario to me…

 

[White City Black]

we said cm punk wouldn’t be back in wwe
We said rock not gonna wrestle roman
We said Okada would never leave njpw

We don’t know nothing, quit tryna say something won’t happen because X Y Z
