If they signed 3 year contracts, I would be nervous if I was Michin, B-Fab, Ashante and whoever else that was brought back when Triple H took over. With WWE now allowing contracts to expire and “releasing” them 90 days out, I wouldn’t make any big purchases in the next quarter for people in that group

Someone should be held accountable for all of those rehires and all of them failing but Chelsea.

Just looked at their official roster page. Jeezus, AEW has so many people signed that never show up anywhere. :dead:

I wonder how their contracts work. Are they sitting at home or doing work on the indies and still cashing AEW checks? Or are some of these people like Aaron Solo only getting paid when they get used?
There's a wide variety of contract types in AEW, it's impossible to know what kind of deal anyone has unless someone releases the information.

EJ Nduka used ChatGPT to post fake reviews of himself on Cagematch :laff:

I really really feel for international talent like Kairi who’s definitely getting cut but at least she can see it coming.

Gordon done Flip-ped the script, huh? :comeon:

Test run match against AR Fox on ROH forthcoming. At least my man Fox would get a win for once :mjlol:
He saw Tessa getting work in TNA despite not being signed to an actual contract and said, "Wait, all I have to do was stay out of trouble long enough to get work in the states again?" :ohhh:

With him denouncing that shyt he was on years ago, he'll probably pop up in MLW or NWA and work up from there.

I definitely agree with MLW at least. Got damn NWA isn’t anything of value at this point

Corgan literally made up a fake “territory” system even though fans didn’t even care about the main product :dame:

The main reason on that one is that the fans don't want to watch Power on Twitter, but he's hard headed and would rather leave money on the table by taking whatever small amount from Twitter than putting it back on YouTube with Google getting an cut. Hell, the fans were even saying that they wouldn't mind paying for a sub on YouTube if it means to support the company and he's passing that up. He must not want money like that because MLW put one up last year and that's what's keeping them up float while they're in an rebuild.

I think the Japanese talent are safe, Nak would be the only I worry about. He can’t draw heat as a heel really. He should really go back to being face, with his original song. I would worry about the Latin talent, but with this AAA thing, I think that some will get a temporary stay of execution, such as the LWO minus Dragon Lee. If I’m a European talent I would be worried. Ridge , Pete, Doar, etc.

I hope down the line they use TNA like how they used ECW and funnel some talent down there to get reestablished and then bring them back if it’s working.

Michin is a solid hand and B-Fab is at least interesting. Ashante should've been in the NA title scene on NXT, instead they gave him a snowbunny chaser gimmick. :comeon:
B-Fab I think would be given another chance since she just started getting featured a little more. As much as I love Michin, they tried multiple times and the crowd doesn’t seem to connect with her for some reason
