Snitsky's back acne Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 I mean, we need to remember that this is a company who use terms like 'legend' for people like Emi Sakura and Kenta so 'Huge, huge star' likely means 'Huge huge star to our fans' not necessarily a huge, huge star. I'm not overly familiar with PWG but I'm going with someone from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members FLips Posted March 4, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted March 4, 2021 The fact they've signed them to a multi year deal would indicate it's not anyone from NJPW or under any sort of contract anywhere else. Oh shit, what if it's Carlito? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And have had Mike Tyson, Sting and Bret Hart turning up, amongst others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not overly familiar with PWG but I'm going with someone from there. There's no way Khan is using that kind of language, and using Big Show's segment to hype it up, for someone from sodding PWG, be reasonable. The fact that Big Show's signing got major attention, and they've just used it to build to the next one suggests it's a bigger deal than Big Show. They might (deservedly) call Emi Sakura a legend, but that's to put her over to the fanbase that are already watching. I can't think of an instance like this where they've really laid on the hype and it's not delivered - this isn't a TNA boy who cried wolf situation of promising a "World Champion" and giving us Al Snow, it's a promoter and a promotion who have done a very good job of being in touch with their fanbase and not over-promising on anything. For all the "I'll eat my hat if it's Cena" types, I'd be far more inclined to eat my hat if it's anyone of less importance than a multiple time WWE champion.

Paid Members LaGoosh Posted March 4, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted March 4, 2021 By announcing this so close to the show, it's all anyone is talking about. Completely over shadows that a exploding barbed wire deathmatch is main eventing a US PPV. Weird times indeed. An interesting thing was when Wight said "it's not who you think" but I can't really think of anyone as an obvious pick. Man, if they don't follow through with something special AEW are going to lose a lot of good will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVM Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 My only caution with Tony Khan talking about huge, huge stars is that the guy has been hyperbolic with Fulham. He called Ruben Loftus-Cheek a world-class signing (and I’m a Chelsea fan and think that’s ridiculous). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least I always see his name trending etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d-d-d-dAz Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 They’ve really made a rod for their own back with this one. It’s all anyone’s talking about and anything less than a CM Punk/Eddie Guerrero 2-man-power-trip feels like it’s going to get shat on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeavyT Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Could it be Booker T? Someone like that? I really cant see it being any top top level guys. I would love it to be old man shamrocl but itd be a dissapointment to most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prime Super Dragon and Darby Allin in a Guerrilla Warfare match at the legion hall would’ve been one of those Indy dream matches.
