Paid Members LaGoosh Posted October 28, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted October 28, 2021 I think he's pretty broken down physically these days from what I've heard. If AEW hadn't hired Andrade I would say Rush would be a dead cert hire but perhaps not now. I think Danhausen would be great for a fun Orange Cassidy type role and Martina for the struggling womens division. Not sure there's anyone else that adds anything particularly unique long term but why not bring in a few of them for short 1-2 month runs.

Vamp Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 I'd sign Martina in a heartbeat if I had a major company. At the very, very least you're getting someone who'd get the crowd going on house shows. But she's also adaptable, can get over while being silly, clearly a solid hand in the ring, can get herself over, is creative and has an actual character. It's not just a gimmick. Even the moves she does serves the character and the story and that's such a rare skill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Nick James Posted October 28, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted October 28, 2021 EC3 will be an interesting one to see where he goes, ideally you would think Impact, but not sure if there is any heat from him teasing signing with them then going to ROH instead. If I was AEW, I wouldn't be signing too many of them other than the names already mentioned. Prior to the switch of direction, you would have thought NXT would have hoovered most of them up, but can't see who would be signed now other than maybe as trainers (Lethal). I wonder if some of them will resign with ROH once it's back up and running again.

They've had a 20 year career and they've held a huge amount of tag titles and singles titles during that time so I think it's fair to say that yeah, they were actually good in their own way. Not everyone's cup of tea obviously - especially on a personal level - but I don't think you have that length of career and sustained success both as a team and individuals unless you've got something going for you.

Vamp Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 I'm not sure having a 20 year career where you've pretty much stayed at the same level makes you good as such. Better than the SAT'S, not as good as Deuce and Domino. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better than the SAT'S, not as good as Deuce and Domino. Depends on your definition of 'good'. Does making it to WWE suddenly make people good? I'd argue they'd have had way better matches in ROH than they ever would've been able to have under 'I couldn't give a fuck about tag teams' Vince. And also it also depends on the reasons why they stayed where they were. Did companies not want to deal with them on a more personal level or something? Who knows. It's like arguing if Tessa Blanchard is good or not. Yeah she is but she's also a huge racist with a questionable personality who plenty of companies don't want to deal with.

If you'd have said that they've carried people to good matches, had a killer feud, did some amazing promos, had a good entrance theme (like the aforementioned Deuce and Domino) then I'd be more convinced. Especially the latter. And anyway, I've put them above the SATs, if that's not a ringing endorsement then I don't know what is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Your Fight Site Posted October 28, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted October 28, 2021 Every one knows the definition of “good” is whether you ever did a drop toe hold in a match in Japan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
