Speaking of, Where the fucck are the Assboys?


If any tag team would benefit from jumping it would be them.

This. They’re the most WWE tag team I’ve ever seen. The fact that they’re not in NXT is mad hilarious to me.


Send them nikkas to WWE for MCMG and call it a day

There's speculation they're on their way out.

I wouldn't be surprised if damn 3/4 Bullet Club Gold members are in WWE as soon as their contracts are up

They re-upped when they got the tag titles a few years ago though.

That was 2 years ago. Tony usually gives out either 3 or 5 year deals. I doubt they signed a 5 year deal. So that means their contracts are almost up.

Wouldn't be surprised if Tony knows they're bolting and is deciding not to really use them going forward

probably the same reason kross isnt being used even tho ppl are begging for it


until new deals are inked, none of these ppl are getting any resemblance of a push lol. youd be gifting the comp at that point

Always felt they dropped the ball on an Assboys/Acclaimed/Billy Gunn dx type stable.


Seeing everybody on their own just solidifies it

 

[OneDeep]

They’re nonexistent


I agree with hook, Same with Sammy Guevara, Jack Perry, Wardlow, etc. They’ve all seemed to have peaked in AEW.

Complete opposite on what I thought about Mariah May.

Plan & simple

Tony can’t book young talent he can only barely book talent that was already established & even that he fukks up

Correct me if I'm wrong, but hasn't it been reported that WWE hasn't initiated any extension talks with Kross?

If so, that seems like it's a different situation. Because Tony is usually the one who approaches talent about a new deal when their contracts are almost up. And that's when he gauges the likelihood of them re-signing, and if he knows they're not staying. To which he then stops booking them.

Edit: Unless Tony has his mind made up that he's not re-signing his talent. To which he then proceeds to completely ghosting them

You’re right


With Private Party it seems like they intend on getting outta there, whereas with Kross it seems like he wants to be in WWE albeit he wants to be used, but they’re dragging their feet and probably don’t intend on bringing him back. I’m sure he’s making more than what they’d like to be paying

Before the Bullet Club Gold run. I'd have said they should jump. But now I think they're better off in AEW.

I don't think he will do it cause of how he's presented. But Hook should jump. Though I also don't think the E and Taz are good so if I'm Hook I also wait that out

I know months ago it was reported that Hook’s contract was expiring and he hired Barry Bloom. I assume he resigned since he popped up at the PPV.

Also where the fukk is he now? He seemingly turned on the Opps by refusing to help more in that Anarchy in the Arena match and I haven’t seen any follow up to that.

Wardlow would be a much better fit in WWE.

Guevara and Perry just are what they are, mediocre midcarders. There was a place for them in AEW in the early years before the roster got stacked but they’ve been recruited over. They wouldn’t be any better off in WWE. They should go to TNA.

HOOK hasn’t even really scratched the surface. I don’t know if there is much below that surface though. He could stand for a change. Maybe if they ever follow up on what happened with him at Double Or Nothing with him being a heel it could be a good move for him just because it’s different.

He’s been eating paint chips and sniffing spray paint so much it’s made him not just retarded but suffer from memory loss.

You’re lying. They got some of the biggest reactions at the time.
