@ThePrinceMagus I liked him and Daddy Magic on AEW Dark commentating. Wouldnt mind him behind the desk commentating more
English
I say this without an ounce of irony; I want Paul Wight to have a permanent role on the Collision commentary team.
WrestlePurists@WrestlePurists
Paul Wight comments on his role with AEW helping some of the younger talent, notes getting in the ring with them: “I don’t have to do much at this stage of the game. I’m not competing for championships, I’m not pulling the wagon working every week. I have a great opportunity with All Elite Wrestling which was very important to me. To be able to help mentor some of the younger talent when they want it, tell them some stories to help them avoid some troubles in life, do the commentating where I can help explain what they’re doing and help develop their characters. And then get in the ring cause there are things that I can do in the ring working with them that I know will help them. And it’s fun for me because I don’t have to do much… I show up once in a while. Everybody’s happy. I come over here, get a nice little pop from the crowd. ‘Oh, we remember him back when he had long hair and a bright future. We’re glad he’s still doing well.’” (TFI Unplugged)

@DanBrown0531 The best paid tag team in the world who made millions through merch/indies before ever signing a US tv contract?

@TheRajGiri Biggest tag feud in years with the Bucks? How do you figure that?
Nobody cares about the Bucks outside of Meltzer's audience, this has been proven time and time again. Since you look at the ratings, I would figure you of all people would have noticed that.
English
I'll admit that I was surprised to see the New Day get released, albeit by their own choosing instead of taking lower deals. But the outrage is weird.
This seems like the best thing for them. They haven't been part of a hot feud in years. Their heel turn was awesome, but the creative for them after that totally sucked. And now they have a chance to be part of the biggest tag feud in years with the Bucks. Seems like a win-win
English
100%. You're way more likely to have an AEW contract last until the end than a WWE one
MissyHyatt@RealMissyHyatt
When wwe signs you to a contract, they can cut you without honoring the agreed time frame of the contract . Sometimes burning a company that could provide you several guaranteed years of employment (ex. Aew, njpw) for a wwe conttact that can cut you in a year of a 3 year contract might not be worth it. The good bros. Signed a big contract & wwe didnt honor it is a good example. Aleister black was employed by aew for 3 years & only got 1 year out of a wwe contract Jeff cobb left njpw & only got 1 year out of wwe.
English
@JyeTristianLFC @TheRealDisco Is he wrong though? All indications are that post merger it’s more precarious than ever for midcarders and that TKO don’t really honor the full duration of contracts
English
@TheRealDisco It’s fucking hilarious how these bums that work 9 to 5’s think they get a say in the business these days just because they have a social medial account lmao

If you're a wrestler that gets offered big money in WWE and you are looking at this guy for career advice, don't bother with wrestling. Go make pizzas or something.
Ibou, of Self Made@BackupHangman
If you’re a wrestler that gets offered big money in WWE, you have to be cognizant of the fact that unless you get over as a top talent and/or big merch seller, WWE is gonna try to get out of that deal as soon as possible. Main roster minimum is $350,000. If you’re like, a midcarder and they throw 500 bands at you, you’re getting that for a year bro. You’re gonna get whacked. Unless you find yourself a YEET.

@doodoocaca00112 @notaracistbigot @TheRajGiri Yes it’s very rare. 99% of indie dates are approved by the office and go ahead as planned.
English
English
@TheRajGiri It’s a good move for them at this point in their careers. They’ll get paid nice and get a chance to work with some different teams.
English
@doodoocaca00112 @notaracistbigot @TheRajGiri They wave through almost anything. Save a few very rare exceptions (Starks/GCW) it’s only clashes with AEW booking commitments that I recall ever resulting in talent being pulled. Most operate entirely without restriction.
English
@UncleVinceCable @notaracistbigot @TheRajGiri AEW has to approve the dates and has cancelled booked indie dates before.
English
@Kng0fTheN0rth I gave AEW a chance. Great wrestling, no stories or characters. It was ok for a year then I gave up. And the sickos are the worst. WWE fans watch for entertainment. I don't care how many stars Ospreay & Omega are getting in a match. That's all they have. No depth in characters.

"I don't give AEW a chance because their FANS suck and the clips I see aren't appetizing!"
The meal they're eating weekly:

@FabOfTheFuture @PhilDL616 Media rights, both domestic and international, PPV buys, ticket sales, merch and other promotional tie ins.
English
@PhilDL616 True but how is AEW making money if they have 40 wrestlers making over $1 million a year lol
English
Couldn't be me. I believe the people who put their bodies on the line every week while a corporation makes obscene amounts of money off their likeness should be paid accordingly. But what do I know?

This makes zero sense at all, so, no. I will not be supporting this.

That’s literally every pro wrestler’s dream

Imagine being an inspiring pro wrestler and your dream is to sign with WWE 🥴
English
@coolnick55 @991_RyderChillz I only heard widespread support for Hobbs leaving with the perception being that a run in a different company would do him good
English
@991_RyderChillz But this does not apply to aew..the sickos throw a hissy fit whenever someone dare leave their precious aew..Mox should leave when his contract's up in 2027.
English
Pro Wrestling having AEW around is so beneficial for the industry because there needs to be turnover with talent. It’s good for wrestlers and even the product.
I love New Day but it’s been 11-12 years of the act on WWE TV. At some point you need a fresh coat of paint elsewhere.

@tusd1964 @OliLondonTV You’re welcome to feel however you feel. What does that have to do with a community living several thousand miles away in London?

Boy George shuts down Irish TV presenter who tried to links Jews being stabbed in London to “the backdrop that is obviously the horrors in Gaza.”
“If you don’t know any Jewish people maybe that’s the problem. Do you know any Jewish people?”
English
@notaracistbigot @TheRajGiri Any talent is well within their rights to work an aggressive indie schedule if they’re not being booked for tv
English
@TheRajGiri sounds great until you're Kamille in your early 30s, and Tony K is blowing through multiple years of your prime while not explaining to you or anyone else the reason why
"shut up and be happy with fat paychecks" isn't much consolation when your chance to become a star is ruined
English
@zayzayreviews @BackupHangman The ‘hall of fame’ isn’t a real thing. It’s as bullshit as a star on the Hollywood walk of fame. The millions of dollars they are about to make are however very, very real.
English
@BackupHangman they aren’t wwe hall of famers if they go to the dub they will be up there with mercedes, mox, christian and more who will never be in it… cheers to more of the tribalism war in the IWC and can’t wait for kofi and creed to go on the press run and crap on the company like ciampa
English
The New Day are a legendary WWE act.
I do think it was time for them to move on, but it would’ve been nice to be able to formally say goodbye to these two special performers rather than it all just end via a tweet.
Self Made AO 💫@KXNGAO
THE NEW DAY HAVE “MUTUALLY AGREED” TO PART WAYS WITH THE WWE! ABSOLUTELY INSANE… WOW - @Fightful | @BodyslamNet

@Namedropper5000 @jeremylambert88 $50k in TNA or $500k in AEW?

@jeremylambert88 I could see them in TNA more than AEW.
Woods has history there.

New Day going to AEW will be like when Waltman jumped back to WWE.

@MizzyBlundStraw @NicholasTyrone Inflation and fuel prices are the things people largely talk about at my workplace

@NicholasTyrone is there something more important than a genocide happening Nick? shall we talk about climate breakdown? shall we talk about inequality? shall we talk about your mates shovelling their money into tax havens? what would you prefer?

It is pretty much the only thing the left talks about these days, so this is a strange viewpoint.

@vrkurosawa @CosmicAngelss She was the most over person in the match
English
@CosmicAngelss Shida was awful in the beginning of that match. I bet she's back off TV after that. She should probably retire.
English
@YourWaifu420 @Moviebuff3000 @AcpwFox98 That’s true of most wrestling nor is it any obstacle to them continuing to run shows for as long as Khan wants to.
English
@Moviebuff3000 @UncleVinceCable @AcpwFox98 You know what AEW doesn’t have tho? Casuals watching. A good 95% of the AEW fan base are smarks.
English
I'll never understand why a wrestler would want to go back to a company that fired them twice. Is it Stockholm Syndrome? Did WWE drill it into their heads that wrestling anywhere else or in "bingo halls" a bad thing?

@AveMisha @SolaceCinema Rønning, by reputation, very good to deal with and happy to integrate notes and do what he’s told. He’d execute Tom/McQ/Bruckheimer/studio vision without getting any ideas above his station.

A list of directors who could potentially take over ‘TOP GUN 3’ has been circulating:
• John M. Chu (‘WICKED’)
• Joachim Rønning (‘TRON: ARES’)
• Adil El Arbi & Bilall Fallah (‘BAD BOYS: RIDE OR DIE’)
