And since I got time and a headache, why nobody checking Tony for keeping talent from going beyond their means ala Starks, but give him passes with new signees to a already bloated roster?

It's a no win for Tony. Releasing him leads to anyone refusing to do shyt in the hopes of getting cut (if that's truly the reason) Jobbing and burying him on the way out looks even more petty than "creative has nothing for you" which the biggest detractors would've loved because they the narrative would've been "AEW is :mjpls:" again. I fukk with Starks but we won't/don't know why he's in AEW purgatory.

Catch 22 sadly. Didn't help that "bugged eyes" didn't roll with the punches when Starks was spitting :francis:

Idk what GCW is bro. But if the AEW name is purchased by somebody and ran as basically an internet indy like happened with TNA, then I will not consider it still alive. If Tony Khan is still running it and it's doing shows in arenas and holding PPVs, it's still alive.

If going from 1000 to 4000 in attendance for within a year for a company's biggest PPV is considered "dead", I don't wanna know what alive means. If the Khans haven't given up on treadmill ass Fulham who have been relegated to second division 3 times in the 11 years they've owned it, I doubt Tony will sell to fukking Rumble or cut funding ala AOL/Time Warner

That's the part I haven't heard mentioned. It could be someone using stroke :dame: to fukk him over creatively. I forget which wrestler it was that Jimmy Jacobs refused to push but I think that plays a part in it.

Pushed reply too quickly @The Intergalactic Koala

If you know people are wanting to get cut and get out of your company, why continue to pay them six figures or more annually to be unhappy and do nothing? Rusev and Malakai Black won’t help WWE get any hotter and if anything passing off malcontents to the other company could benefit you doubly

I don't see disrespect I see conversation...my point was if y'all say he is a star and Tony is holding him back from the aew championship why would you want him to go to NXT if he goes to WWE and not to the big stage for raw or Smackdown belts if he is a star? No "stan" question a real question
Why you keep lying and making up shyt though.


It’s not too much to ask for him to not be off tv for six months for no reason at all. Same with Miro.

You could use that same logic when WWE had guys publicly asking for releases and not getting them granted. Ali did fukk all for TNA in the long run but WWE they kept paying him. I don't agree with keeping someone around that's unhappy in business or relationships though.

The DMV's very own AfroPunk Trish Adora is FINALLY back in Shane Taylor Promotions! Long overdue.



Now, put Bishop Kaun back with STP and give the brehs & brehette some high-profile wins.

That was Vince being a controlling vindictive a$$hole plus back in the heart of those times they were paranoid about anybody going to AEW and getting momentum, which is why guys like Hawkins and Ryder were getting mid 6 figures to sit in catering and make YouTube videos until the pandemic came and they needed to clear salary off the books.

Tony being vindictive isn’t a good look for talent or fans at a time they are cold, plus as I said there ain’t a single guy they could release that would go and do anything major of note for WWE. If anything it might show the AEW roster that the grass isn’t always greener if those guys go back to WWE and are in the same positions they were in before
