Contract and Free Agency Thread

[TheGreatShowtime]

Meltzer is stooging for Jericho in the dirt sheets by making it a "big deal" that his contract is up. No, it's not

But I guess he's helping him out since Jericho is a known stooge to Meltzer.

Exactly what this is

This is the slowest AEW PPV week for dirtsheet rumours for a while. Danhausen and Jericho is the best they can dig up?

Not even a subliminal from Britt to feed the podcasters. shyt's tough out there.

Even with Danhausen, I just read he & his wife just had a baby a month or two ago. So TK extending his contract for injury time may be his way of giving him paid paternity leave. Or maybe TK is a cokehead who is a hypocrite. It depends on what side of the fence you're on

I never got the Danhausen thing. Also, Jericho would fit in better with WWE at this point. Go sign that legends deal.

 

[TheAlbionist]

He's entertaining enough if you see him twice a year.

I low-key think he probably shouldn't have signed with a major tbh even though AEW let him work the indies still - he was managing to grow his profile well enough over social media and he could monetise the whole thing himself... a major-league pop out once in a while on an appearance fee for a Rumble, a Casino Gauntlet or whatever would've been great for everyone.

I ain't gonna lie, if Jericho was just a manager or something he could be of value. It's the ring work that has declined to a terrible degree

I never got the Danhausen thing. Also, Jericho would fit in better with retiring. Go be a parent or trainer

I don't disagree but you know one of these promotions will sign him, they can't help themselves

Jericho and "go be a parent"?

Jericho and "go be a parent"?

Jericho will be doing touring appearances and signings as a grandfather

"Uhm, Uhm, y'know, if you look at the heat Jericho's been getting with the 'Please Retire!" and "fukk of Jericho!' chants, it shows how big he's gotten the whole Learning Tree gimmick over, and like, a lot of people are calling it the big bidding war of 2025, and like, y'know, uhm..."

Yeah, it's time for Jericho to go ahead and hit up that legacy act retirement plan and get the fukk outta town. Considering that almost the entirety of his AEW run as been three different variations of "Veteran heel surrounds himself with younger talent that is eventually elevated by them turning on each other," except for the fact that literally no one ever gets elevated or put over, I think he might be out of actual ideas for the time being.

It's really not a coincidence that the show started picking back up again once he left and gave them back at least another 15 minutes to use for literally anything else.

To be honest, what does Jericho even do in WWE? I can't think of a single feud where I can say I'd like to see that person work with Jericho. The only potential thing I can think of is a Jericho/Dom feud would be sort of funny to see, moreso with Dom making fun of Jeriatricho.

Jericho fukking over his fellow Canadian Sami works I guess
