Get the Kings Of Wrestling back together if so, can't say I have any interest in him as a singles star what so ever I don't think he's actually wrestled since leaving WWE. He might still have his podcast and i've seen the occasional seminar mentioned on social media. Certainly still around and I could definitely see a KOTW return to tempt him back into the ring. There would be plenty of dream indy matches at the very least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's always been a fat fucker but these days he looks like he'd struggle to run the ropes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is what 99% of people will be wondering. As far as i'm aware it wasn't announced on TV. It was clipped out a radio interview. Then he did a side by side video with Tony Schiavone in a social media clip that would have gotten lost in the dozen of other posts hyping last night's Dynamite and then buried by the clips from the fallout of the show itself.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Jazzy G Posted February 24, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted February 24, 2022 Maybe the King's Of Wrestling were going to be the mystery team at the Crockett Cup, but if Hero isn't in any condition to work that'd be a no. He could feud with Tony Nese on Dark or Elevation. Maybe have a little run in Impact. He'd have a good one against Josh Alexander if he ends up re-signing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AEW's audience is an online, highly invested one. Most of them will know about shit like this and they're the exact crowd Khan is playing to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny Vegas Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 I think there would actually be a lot to be said for AEW trying to sign some guys to shorter deals or a pay per appearance type thing which isn't exclusive. Impact don't have the audience or finances to lock anyone down long term and poach anyone away from AEW in those circumstances. If people came into AEW on those types of deals and things were working out they could always look at re-negotiating things for a more permanent deal. The performers themselves may be less interested in going back to the more turbulent world of WWE. At the moment theres a good number of guys contracted to AEW on decent money not doing very much at all and unlikely to make a huge impact. Cesaro would be a fun guy to come in and have short programmes with a few of the guys there but not to be around on a 3 year deal having 3 minute matches on Dark against Serpentico in 4 months time.

One week. Keith's Lee's debut was literally the previous episode of Dynamite and he made a appearance on this week. Missing one show really dosen't justify a panic.

Agree totally. There's a lot of Cesaro in AEW matches I'd like to see but I have no interest in having him around long term. A 2-3 month run where he faces Dante Martin, Allin, Sammy, Kingston, Jungle Boy, a few others then fucks off forever would be absolutely perfect.

Most of them will know about shit like this and they're the exact crowd Khan is playing to. Under 49k views some of which were likely registered through auto plays. 401 RTs, 168 Quoted Tweets, and 2,000+ likes. There's maybe an IG story and something on youtube that goes along with it. For most people that will have heard about it would be through clickbait articles and randoms speculating he's buying Ring of Honor which seems to be the main point of gossip. Since it wasn't AEW wrestlers in the expanded NJ Cup or a co-promoted show. The internet fanbase is massively important but even within that community not everyone's keeping track of something like this. Since they'll know it's been done multiple times before. If it was something mentioned on TV, then it would be a lot more hyped.   7 hours ago, Jonny Vegas said: I think there would actually be a lot to be said for AEW trying to sign some guys to shorter deals or a pay per appearance type thing which isn't exclusive. Just about everyone can do Indy dates in AEW. Bryan Danielson supposedly wanted to do a DEFY show since they're the main Washington state promotion. Cesaro can write his own ticket. Even from the very beginning there were those that asked to do NJPW. Tying talents into longer term deals with some freedom is the better way to go. Since it allows things like Video games, action figures and other longer term planning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny Vegas Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 There's no need to do it to everyone though. There doesn't seem much financial benefit in signing people to long term deals in an already crowded roster just for the added bonuses that they could make an action figure (many of whom are in the clearance aisles of stores) and include them in a video game.
