Tony Khan hyping new incoming talent/possibly courting Ali?

[NoMorePie]

How can you just fire somebody and say they’re not able to capitalize on long term work options in the meantime?

Did they not sign a contract, agreeing to that?

You can sign a contract for anything. The question is, it is legally enforceable? Especially if I’m being tagged as an independent contractor.

I can have my roofer sign a document saying he can’t work on any other roofs for 90 days but does it hold up in court?

Jeff hardy was last jobbing to karrion kross
Maybe that can continue 10pm on rampage

 

[Reality Check]

How historic would it be if Tony Khan went for their non-compete clauses? We know they can be beaten and dont always hold up in court word to Bork Laser

How can you just fire somebody and say they’re not able to capitalize on long term work options in the meantime? I mean I get it if the talent walks away, but you throwing people on the street and saying “in 90 days you can get it how you can” meanwhile this dude over here is hiring now and might now be later on

Not to go too far off into politics given how divisive it's become, but Biden has targeted noncompete clauses and I think signed an executive order last summer to encourage the FTC to ban or limit them. Think the thing to watch is if the state of Connecticut ever bans non-compete clauses (Cali, ND, and Oklahoma have non-compete bans in place).

The strength of a non-compete clause is unknown until it is challenged in court. The issue is that most workers will just take the 90 days because it isn't worth it for them to cough up all the money it would take to fight it in court.
But if the coked up son of a billionaire wanted to use daddy's money to test out WWE's non-competes then it would become interesting.

Did they not sign a contract, agreeing to that?

Didn't Brock get that non-compete clause thrown out?

I'll throw a name out of left field for the forbidden door. Jacob Fatu

He's signed to MLW til 2025. Not sure if they'd let that happen. I know after Pillman and MJF worked AEW TV they re worded their contracts to exclude AEW the same way they do WWE.

Not saying it cant happen but Court Bauer seems shiesty.

Didn't Brock get that non-compete clause thrown out?

He wasn't allowed to wrestle in the states just Japan.

 

[Jmare007]

He needs to sign them nerds from Big Bang Theory if he wants to grow his audience.

 

[Killah Ray]

At this point we’re gonna see the debut of Fire Ant in order to keep these debuts coming.

 

[John Reena]

Ppl better look at how the last BIG signings went to crap. Christian, Ethan Page, Jay Lethal, Adam Cole, Kyle O’Reilly are jobbing to bums, in street clothes on Dynamite n Rampage, in dead end feuds, or having 20 minute competitive matches with Indy jobbers on YouTube.

I legit forgot Ethan Page was a big signing at one point….

Tony Khan's nonsense got him a Sport's Illustrated article:

Tony Khan’s Promised ‘Huge Signing’ Encapsulates AEW’s Appeal

An unnamed free agent will make his debut on Wednesday’s edition of ‘Dynamite,’ adding to the air of unpredictability that makes the show a success.

Tony Khan created a world of speculation last week when he tweeted a new star will be making his debut this Wednesday on Dynamite.

The free-agent acquisition will face off against Isiah Kassidy in a qualifier for the Face of the Revolution ladder match, which takes place at next month’s Revolution pay-per-view, and Khan believes he will become an immediate fixture in AEW.

“It’s a huge signing for us,” says Khan, who is AEW’s CEO, general manager and head of creative. “I have created some debate about what it means to open the ‘Forbidden Door,’ and that’s what we are going to do on this show. The fans are going to get a great night of wrestling, and I hope everyone is surprised—and comes back for the matches this sets up.”

“I’m continually looking to improve the roster and bring in new stars and create fresh matchups, and that’s what you’re going to see this Wednesday,” Khan says. “We now have such a strong roster of wrestlers under contract that we can put fresh, exciting matches on Dynamite every Wednesday on TBS and Rampage [every Friday] on TNT.

“It’s going to be a big reveal on Dynamite. It sets up this week’s Rampage and puts a lot of irons in our fire. We have created an environment in AEW where people routinely expect great wrestling matches, and we have the wrestlers to live up to those high expectations.”

While a popular critique of AEW is that the roster is too crowded, Khan sees that as a positive. He is acquiring talent he believes will benefit the company in both the short and long term, and even when there are younger stars who have yet to have consistent television time (Lee Moriarty, Daniel Garcia and Wheeler Yuta all come to mind) a world of possibility still exists for them in the current landscape. That was on display last week on Dynamite when Bryan Danielson offered a proposition to Jon Moxley to start their own group, one that includes those three aforementioned rising stars, and overtake AEW.

“I was very impressed and thrilled with the excitement and the buzz of Danielson and Moxley in the ring together,” Khan says. “We’ve been building to that moment, and people are very interested in what Danielson had to say and Moxley’s reaction to it. When our fans respond, I’m always listening.”

Lmaoooo at Daniel Garcia “not having consistent tv time”. He’s been on tv more than Punk, Brian, Mox, Omega, and AEW WORLD CHAMPION.
