Why is Paul signing every shitter from AEW he possibly can?

Flavors of the Month.

AEW shoot traumatized him so now that he inherited the house, he's grabbing as much as he can while having a breakdown

>>18138570 (OP)
Its not Paul its TKO. They're hiring every Ex-AEW guy to give them lifetime contracts and let them do the shittalking on PPV weekends.

>>18138570 (OP)
for what it's worth i've never watched AEW
danhausen could be interesting in WWE, he has a very sports entertainment gimmick from what i've seen. but private party just looks like if you had the street profits but it was 2 montez fords (double jannetty) instead of 1 ford 1 dawkins.
i do think HHH is starting to do the tony thing of just signing anyone who gets released from the other company. which is of course stupid.

>>18138606
Tony isn't signing any WWE shitters now he got a clue. He's flooding WWE with his shitters though.

why the fuck would they be interested in private party, they already have those 2 blacks in nxt

>>18138618
Based.

>>18138618
yeah it seems tony stopped doing that. now he needs to let literally like half of his roster's contracts expire though. i was shocked to see the AEW roster was as big as it is. he is just straight up burning money.

>>18138628
I think he felt signing as many as he could would improve his product but he got burnt by almost all of the ex WWE shitters who refused to do their jobs

>>18138622
They got a quote from some intern saying "they could be cool to have" and they report "WWE is interested in signing them"

I know it's saying WWE is interested by the indy scene is going to explode in the next year or two with AEW trimming their roster size massively.

Private Party — Isiah Kassidy and Marq Quenn
Danhausen: Spring/Summer 2025 (Fightful Report)
Angelo Parker: August 2025 (Fightful Report)
Matt Menard: August 2025 (Fightful Report)
Mariah May: Summer 2025 (Fightful Report)
Renee Paquette: Fall 2025 (Has two contracts with AEW, one as a Talent and one as a Producer)
Chris Jericho: Through December 2025
Alex Reynolds: At least Mid-2026 (Fightful Report)
Evil Uno: At least Mid-2026 (Fightful Report)
John Silver: At least Mid-2026 (Fightful Report)
Kip Sabian: At least Mid-2026 (Fightful Report)
Scorpio Sky: October 2026

I could see everyone but Renee (who is really good) not being re-signed.

>>18138647
Yea Vince played TK and dumped him with a bunch of shitters that refused to work. But now Paul has taken them all back and added crap like Page, Taints and Pullthetriggerman Jnr

>>18138686
Renee is a lock but everyone else on that list should be let go. I fear TK will keep the Dark Order jobbers forever because of Brodie though.

>>18138686
>Fightfull report
AhahHahahahahahav

Renee would be a massive loss, surprised she's so featured if she hasn't signed another deal.

>>18138570 (OP)
private party would be fine to spice up the NXT tag scene, its pretty barren right now

keep that faggot danhausen away from my coomer fed though

Moxley's there through 2027 so would be surprised if they can't lock renee in

>>18138606
>street profits
>but double jannetty
so street profits?

>>18138686
>I could see everyone but Renee (who is really good) not being re-signed.
Tony's ego won't allow him to let go of Jericho, especially right now. He'll pay whatever it takes. Otherwise yeah the rest are gone

>>18138731
+Danhausen

Like almost 20 already this year.

>>18138731
why did they let the righetous walk? i actually liked those guys
also i totally forgot zak knight was ever employed

>>18138731
TK is def trimming now AEW is profitable from the new TV deal. Think he learnt a bit from taking every WWE cast off as well

I would say the only real loss was Mariah May. Rey Fenix maybe but they have a lot of guys like that still.

Haitch and Tony need to understand that most indie shitters need to stay in indie.

>>18138746
Cause AEW is stupid? You'd think with the Bucks involved, Tony should've been trying to rebuild the tag division. Instead he made The Righteous job to a solo, handicapped, face MJF. I don't blame them for walking. See, this is what happens when a promotion doesn't live or die by its draws; you get bookers pushing their friends and decisions that drive viewers away. /they're not worried about the weekly gates. To them, it doesn't matter if they still get their TV deal and their PPV money.

I doubt AEW picks up any of the WWE releases either. Maybe Dakota Kai. You could put her in a tag team with someone like Mina.

>>18138570 (OP)
Two more Tony fumbles

>>18138731
AEW deserves to flop for many reasons, and one of them is what they did to Comoroto.

>Dustin pops up right on cue to slingshot off him

>they change his wild hair

>>18138752
>TK is def trimming now AEW is profitable from the new TV deal.
AEW still isn't profitable I'm afraid. And if Tony was trimming the fat then irredeemable shitters like Daniel Garcia, Wheeler Yuta, the Young Cucks, etc. etc. etc. would be gone. I think 99% of those people willingly left because they wanted out of the tranny rodeo.

>Danhausen
He is friends with the Punkster. No wonder he is getting signed.
>Private Party
I legit do not know who the fuck these guys are. I see AEW clips on Jewtube and I have never seen them.

>>18138731
The only one I want among all these shitters is Renee. She is cute and WWE should sign her. I hope it causes tension in the Moxley household and they end up seperating.

>>18138731
That's got to be at least 10 mill a year in wages. kind of insane. and they could lose another 50 people and the product wouldn't change

>>18138618
It's not about refusing to sign ex WWEs. It's knowing who to sign and who to ignore. Danielson and Toni Storm were good signings. Cole and Keith Lee and the Undisputed were not.

>>18138838
the releases slip up when they do all the interviews. cora jade basically fucked herself saying she wants to go back to WWE

>>18138828
It's obviously profitable based on the reported figures for the new TV deal. The Bucks are miles away from the talent he isn't renewing. But yea, Yuta and Garcia are a bit sunk cost fallacy at this point.

>>18138829
>I legit do not know who the fuck these guys are.
They're green as fuck melanated gentlemen who were supposed to be the next Hardy Boyz back in 2019 but Tony completely failed to develop them. 5 years later and they're still absolute rookies.

>>18138841
Exactly. He has to be smart.

>>18138843
Swerve, Ospreay, Fletcher, Takeshita are better talents than yuta/garcia/perry. Kind of made them pointless.

>>18138838
Cole drew the biggest house in AEW history

They're better than every team in WWE that isn't MCMG btw

>>18138855
The first time I seen take I thought fuck me this cunt is gonna be a superstar
I said back then also that Tony fumbled by not giving one of these japs their own tv series like
>Coming To America: takeshita overcoming stupid white shit
When he first got here he was making really fun videos just interacting with day to day stuff. That was a fumble because it would also show other japs what it will be like.

>>18139343
Nick Gage?

>>18138571
Hell yeah, wwe wants to fucking much for a cheap ass shirt.

Britt next

>Sources close to Mark (@WrestleMobs) have confirmed that Britt Baker is actively seeking to part ways with AEW. This would align with what fans have speculated based on her recent social media activity.

>As things currently stand, AEW isn’t looking to release Baker from her contract. The internal belief is they don't want any upcoming WWE Pittsburgh shows to be announced — as well as Evolution to pass — before letting anything move forward.

>We’re told that Britt feels there’s nothing left keeping her in AEW, pointing to burned bridges and a sense that the environment has changed around her. Whether this ends with a quiet release or something louder, the door appears closer to shut than ever before.

>>18139386
Why are so many of the year 1-2 talents leaving?

>>18139386
Grim. Haitch needs to get out.

>>18139404
So many talents got hired because AEW needed a roster and couldn't afford to be nitpicky.

>>18139386
Yeah, no. Nobody wants her. She is a pain in the ass to work with and she is a horrible person IRL as well. Bitch fucking cheated on Adam Cole and tried to ruin his life. Yeah, no. We don't want her.

>>18138622
>they already have those 2 blacks in nxt
Brother, have you seen the show lately? There's like a dozen of them. That being said, if you're talking Edris Enofe and Malik Blade, those niggers have been down there for like 4-5 years already. It's clear they're not going up at this point, you might as well release them and replace them with a new act that'll cost basically the same amount of money.
>>18138686
I want 2.0,/3.0/Everrise or whatever the fuck you call them back. Those fuckers are funny and are evergreen jobbers who can get a match over. They're the perfect kind of guys to have on a developmental show even if they never go up. At the very least give them there show back or have them do random shoots with Kevin Owens while he's healing up from neck surgery.

tony letting this bitch go so she could stink up WWE would be the smartest thing he could do as a businessman

>>18138686
would Renee actually go back to WWE without her husband?

I doubt it. Her AEW gig is pretty easy considering she doesn't have to travel to ever show. Most of her she is all pretaped for youtube.

>>18138570 (OP)
>Why is Paul signing every shitter from AEW he possibly can?
To encourage more and more to leave the toy box the same way Tony signed every released WWE name he could to try and make it seem AEW was the better option for them too. The second Triple H starts getting picky about who they bring in it gives pause to whichever AEW name is contemplating leaving there

>>18139404
Because the free agents were very thin in 2018. Lots of people were locked into deals with ROH/TNA/NJPW/WWE. They had to settle for whoever they got, they were extremely lucky Jericho was not under WWE contract when they formed.

>>18138570 (OP)

Private Party, whatever

We. Do. Not. Want. Her.

Danhausen should be a joke Royal Rumble entry and that's it.

>>18138686
Evil Uno was literally the last guy to draw a milly for AEW and when he did it he managed to pull AEW out of a two month no milly slump. I would sign him as a figurative "fuck you," to Tony.

>>18138814
Dakota is made of glass and on the wrong side of the wall.

If I was Tony I would throw fuck you money at Roman and let him take as much time off for film/cancer as he wants. Even in the worst years of end stage Vincism people would still show up to watch on the off hand chance Roman MIGHT make an appearance. That is some certified draw shit, and it would make the fed bleed.

>>18138570 (OP)
Literally Punk friends

Contrary to what faggots PDS retards believe, he does have power backstage.

>>18139344

all that power and he loses cora

>>18138570 (OP)
It's funny how WWE is becoming how TNA was in in the early 2010's.

They hire everyone that gets fired from the rival promotion because they think it will give them the upper-hand.

Then usually the first thing they do is shittalk their former home (In TNA, they let guys do the shittalking on TV in the ring, in WWE, they just have them go onto WWE-friendly podcasts/shows and do their shittalking there)

>>18138570 (OP)
Danhausen only getting hired cause he's Punk's friend.

>>18138618
>>18138628
>>18138653
Yeah I think the Punk stuff, and all of his ex-WWE loyalists refusing to do jobs, made him learn that getting guys just from WWE is a bad idea.

>>18138686
Private Party should probably go, they basically hit their ceiling in AEW. They were lucky to get a run with the tag titles.

Danhausen is definitely gone since he's a Punk guy.

Matt Menard I think they'll keep around, even as a backup announcer. Angelo Parker I'm not sure, he's currently on paternity leave with Ruby Soho. Maybe he retires to be a dad.

Mariah May is gone.

Renee is staying with Moxley

Jericho I honestly don't know. Definitely think TK has gotten a clue that he isn't well liked, and Jericho can only reinvent himself so many times. So I can see him going back to WWE (Albeit who knows, I bet WWE will make him have a retirement match and induct him into the HoF). On the other hand, TK definitely has loyalty to Jericho for helping found AEW and trusts him a lot, which is why he was first world champ. I honestly don't know what Jericho does.

Dark Order guys I can see leaving. I don't think WWE would pick them up, they're all pretty old. I can see them going back on the indies, and maybe doing a stint in TNA.

Kip Sabian seems to be okay as one of Christian's stooges. His wife Penelope Ford is also being used consistently now.

SPOILERS FOR THE UPCOMING COLLISION Scorpio Sky returned to beat up Max Caster at latest Collision taping. He's a part of Top Flight now and Christopher Daniels is managing him.

>>18138814
I think Dakota is going back to Japan first, either for Stardom, or (if she likes Rossy) Marigold.

But I can see her going to AEW if she has a successful stint in Japan/ on the indies.

>>18139386
Yeah she was gone when it was realized she was a trouble maker.

She made a long term planned story line with her turning on and feuding with Jamie Hayter go down the shitter because she had some sort of real life falling out with Jamie. Who knows over what.

>>18139704
I honestly thought Buddy would want to be with with his wife and Aleister, but it seems like he's find being in AEW?

>>18140214
And now you have guys like Andrade and Miro/Rusev being stucking in the midmid card.

I think a lot of AEW guys are starting to realize the grass isn't greener on the other side, and are weighing their options carefully.

Seems to me that TK is making the smart decision to let WWE releases prove themselves on the indie/overseas to show they can thrive outside of the WWE box and if they're willing to do jobs to non-WWE guys.

>>18146065
This

>>18147055
I doubt he’s fine with it because he probably laments not being able to do much but the moneys worth it and honestly it’s better to work separate.

>>18147046
>long term planned story line with her turning on and feuding with Jamie Hayter
I think this is the last time I was really hyped for a storyline rather than a match. I still have hope for Takeshita vs Okada even though they'll probably find a way to fuck it up.
