All Elite Wrestling - Official Thread

Ma in generale un fronte comune penso che sia la cosa migliore per tutti: NJPW difficilmetne avrà mai uno show televisivo da mandare in America ogni settimana (se non con best of tipo AXS tv), se AEW avrà un contratto televisivo importante avere degli atleti ad esibirsi lì può essere ottimo per loro.

All Elite Wrestling (AEW) is the talk of the professional wrestling community at the moment. A huge rally was held earlier this week in Jacksonville, just down the road from WWE’s SmackDown Live tapings, to celebrate the new promotion. AEW has some big names onboard with the endeavor. Those being Cody Rhodes, The Young Bucks, Adam “Hangman” Page, Chris Jericho, PAC, and more.

Even Kenny Omega is expected to be joining AEW once his New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW) deal expires. However, it looks like AEW might be attracting some interest from disgruntled WWE talent as well. Wrestling Observer Newsletter points out many WWE and NXT talents have adopted a “wait-and-see aspect” on AEW. Several frustrated talents have even been given more TV time on RAW and SmackDown as opposed to being ignored.

There are some talented stars on NXT and WWE’s main roster who aren’t sure of their position with the company, especially tag teams, who are interested. Of course, those who went through Pro Wrestling Guerrilla (PWG) and Ring Of Honor (ROH), and are friends with AEW executives, are the more open-minded of the bunch. Others who don’t have such experience are waiting on news of a TV deal.

WWE talents who are in the best position at the moment are those whose contracts run out at the end of this year. AEW’s TV situation will be sorted out by then and it will be more evident what level the promotion is at.

Bisogna vedere come potrebbe prenderla la ROH

[Joy Black]

Ma fino a che devono fare insieme lo show al Garden normale che la NJPW non può agire contro il suo partner.

[Jack Hammer]

Ma chi sarebbero questi atleti scontenti e col contratto in scadenza di cui parla in tutti i rumor? Perchè dalle news che leggevo tempo fa non mi sembrano siano in molti col contratto in scadenza a breve.. O magari ricordo male io..

[Heart Break Kid]

Leggo adesso di Jericho che voleva far comprare IMPACT a Khan

[AFM2000]

The latest issue of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter features a ton of new information about All Elite Wrestling. Been covering this developing story all week and you can catch up on everything at our AEW News section. Here are the latest details from the Observer regarding the management structure of AEW:

– AEW President Tony Khan will be head of the creative team in what Dave Meltzer called the “Vince McMahon role.” During an appearance on Sean Waltman’s podcast this week, Khan spoke extensively about his vision for AEW.

– As noted earlier, Cody Rhodes and The Young Bucks will serve as Executive Vice Presidents. Cody will focus primarily on the men’s singles division, while Matt and Nick will handle the tag teams. With the Young Bucks holding such prominent positions in the promotion, expect to see AEW feature a strong tag team division. One more Executive Vice President is expected to be hired in the coming months.

– In addition to serving as Chief Brand Officer, Brandi Runnels will focus on the women’s division.

– Dana Massie (wife of Matt ‘Jackson’) will be the head of merchandise for AEW. She has been one of the driving forces behind the Young Bucks’ merchandise brand. Pro Wrestling Tees President Ryan Barkan is also working with Dana.

– Prominent wrestling business reporter Chris Harrington has been hired as the head of business development.

Pensi che dopo lo show le cose possano cambiare?

Di quelli in grassetto non ne prenderei uno sinceramente

[Joy Black]

Bayley e Mickie James. Ma non credo che la prima cambi (la solita questione che la WWE è il sogno della vita ect. ect.) ammesso che anche lei non abbia rinnovato nell'anno in corso (come ha già fatto Sasha), sulla seconda, una schedule ridotta, avendo famiglia, più soldi sicuramente possono stuzzicare.

Un Sin Cara o un Luke Harper che sono lì a non fare un emerito cazzo, al posto loro un pensierino ce lo farei. Per non parlare dei vari cruiser rinchiusi a 205 live da una vita, come un Jack Gallagher.

Si esatto, c'è un sacco di potenziale a 205 live

[Marco Frediani]

Kota Ibushi è sempre stato un freelance, inoltre è pieno di soldi da fare schifo e ha sempre rifiutato ogni contratto.
Quindi lui può fare quello che vuole, e fare tutti gli show che gli pare, se le date coincidono, almeno dal punto di vista contrattuale.

[AFM2000]

Vabbè dico che anche lui può interessato al progetto AEW.

[Nesto ël Foin]

Ma a 205 ci sono solo cruiser, le manovre spettacolari e "spottose" vanno bene, ma se pensano di soffermarsi solo sui flyers (dubito che sarà così) allora non andranno lontano.

Quanto alle donne, se la tabella che ho trovato riporta correttamente i contratti, non hanno molto di che scegliere in WWE.

Però qualche nome importante a Stamford devono strapparlo, se hanno ambizione quantomeno di creare una primaria aria di autorevolezza agli addetti ai lavori.
