DavidB6937 Posted April 16, 2020 Posted April 16, 2020 If I were AEW, I'd be looking at Finlay and Angle as two of the best potential pick-ups out of the releases. Finlay did wonders with the women in WWE, and Angle's got a lot to give with his experience.
David Posted April 16, 2020 Posted April 16, 2020 Just now, UK Kat Von D said: I don’t get it, but then I don’t understand why @David thinks my bootlicking comment wasn’t directed at him either. The guy thinks Epstein killed himself which is basically deepthroating the boot Epstein? What are you rambling on about?
UK Kat Von D Posted April 16, 2020 Posted April 16, 2020 Just now, David said: Epstein? What are you rambling on about? Sorry, was that not you? Could have sworn it was you you thought Jeffrey Epstein killed him self in prison

Could have sworn it was you you thought Jeffrey Epstein killed him self in prison I certainly wouldn't have thought so, no. I have no interest in Epstein to be honest. As for the billionaire bootlicking nonsense, like I said, very few are actually defending Vince. In fact, most have said that he's a morally corrupt arsehole of a man. That's not news.

But the situation as a whole and how businesses should and shouldn't be acting at the moment is, and that's a far greater and more complex topic than just 'well that's unfair, they shouldn't do that!'.

Aye, most of the non-kidzero comments with alternating viewpoints seem reasoned enough. Could do without another thread turned into another dullsville of blithe virtue signalling. I'm on the side of WWE being bastards, mind.
AVM Posted April 16, 2020 Posted April 16, 2020 WWE weren't forced to bribe a Government so you can force your staff to compete mid-pandemic. WWE weren't forced to stockpile talent specifically to prevent them working with a competitor. WWE aren't forced to hire talent as employees in all but name in order to refuse them healthcare and benefits. WWE aren't forced to work with despot regimes in order to earn blood money. WWE aren't forced to fire talent with no compete clauses and no compensation. Only one thing matters to Vince McMahon - money. Everything else including human life is secondary. We all know this, and I don't see how last night could do anything but confirm this. What I'd also say is whilst many businesses are exploitative and unscrupulous, few are as downright immoral as WWE.
Otto Dem Wanz Posted April 16, 2020 Posted April 16, 2020 God I hate it when these threads descend into Twitter. Anyway come on AEW, pick up Rusev!
wordsfromlee Posted April 16, 2020 Posted April 16, 2020 Are AEW or any of the other promotions going to be able to afford to pick up any of these newly released talent at the minute? They're in the same kind of boat as WWE at the minute with no money coming in from ticket sales, so surely they're going to want to be saving money where they can rather than forking out right now.
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted April 16, 2020 Paid Members Posted April 16, 2020 EC3's going to have to have a major repackage, considering MJF is doing his gimmick now.
Paid Members Statto Posted April 16, 2020 Paid Members Posted April 16, 2020 He can go back to the "USA Guy" gimmick he wanted to do on his first NXT go round.
UK Kat Von D Posted April 16, 2020 Posted April 16, 2020 Kahn is probably going to pick up more of the released wrestlers than he should, as long as he uses them well I don’t mind too much though
Paid Members Supremo Posted April 16, 2020 Paid Members Posted April 16, 2020 Of everyone released, even in these tough times, AEW would be insane to not already be in contact with Drake Maverick and Rusev. I’d already be pricing up how much it costs to rent a tank for Rusev’s eventual debut.
DavidB6937 Posted April 16, 2020 Posted April 16, 2020 I wouldn't mind if Aiden English tagged along with Rusev to be honest, even just for a short time. They worked well together.
