AEW in November 2023: Another day, another Tony Khan announcement.

[BUTT]

Probably Mercedes but I’m sure Tony would assume everyone knows Mike Bailey too.

 

[geniusMoment]

Sounds like Flip made his decision

 

[Tino Standard]

Dolph Ziggler will also be in LA this weekend FWIW.

 

[909]

I will be one of the ten people there who claps for Mike Bailey

 

[Valeyard]

Riddle me this, snowman

AEW's core audience would pop for Mike Bailey and it would lead to a lot of great matches but if that's who it is it's a big letdown just because he doesn't move any needles. It needs to be Mercedes or Will Ospreay type. I'd personally accept Nakajima as well even though he's not on that fame level just because he's the current AJPW Triple Crown Champion and I have no doubt he could get over to a Takeshita level if done right. That said I'd get why people wouldn't buy it.

Kobashi/Joe 2 at Wembley

Mickie James was just removed from the TNA active roster.

I seriously doubt it's her, and everyone would shit on it. But, it never made sense that AEW didn't sign her.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Gotta be Crazzy Steve.

 

[Valeyard]

Mickie's husband has a sweet WWE gig he just started and she's pretty much welcome back whenever she wants. I don't see her jumping now.

Mercedes would be the only option that isn't a total disappointment, but her run would be.

If it's Speedball and Veda I'll freak out.

But it's gonna be something awesome. Fingers crossed for Hogan.

Name on the contract says Hogan but it's not Hulk/Terry...IT'S BROOKE!

 

[Brocklock]

Uh don't forget who is a free agent now

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

They're saving him to be The Devil, remember?

 

[Brocklock]

The Devil could just be Vince without the mustache.

 

[Broward83]

Hangman really plays the violent, semi-racist, full of himself role reallllllly well.

 

[cobainwasmurdered]

Big Show trying to top Sting for dumbfuck spots by an old worker. Holy shit that was scary. Ibushi also doing some top level dumbshit and looked much more like himself.

 

[Sex Machine Gun]

That suplex on Kenny from the top to the outside could have been super ugly too with the ramp there. Super dangerous, and for a TV match no one's going to remember, sponsored by a video game!

I look forward to Swerve winning. Joe's gotta be MJF's partner, right?

[Valeyard]

I used to love Ibushi and the AEW era makes me sad. But I absolutely love that he has the job and Omega's loyalty to him is one of my favorite things in modern history.

 

[cobainwasmurdered]

I thought he was a lot better in his match last night than he had been and if he's going to be working more often he has a chance to shake off the ring rust.

 

[geniusMoment]

The signing isn't Mercedes per Fightful.

 

[One Epic Winter (OEW)]

Sounds like Flip made his decision

 

[alkeiper]

After Ronda's indy match there's speculation about her.

After Ronda's indy match there's speculation about her.

5 years ago I'd be down, but that second WWE run was terrible. I can't think of one good match she had and she seemed totally checked out. Loved that first run, but I wonder how much of that was them pre planning all her matches. She did look a little slower and less explosive in her second run as well.

 

[geniusMoment]

I'm assuming Ospreay at this point.

The way it was worded made me think it would be a female. But, I don't know who else is out there. I know they tried to sign Lita years ago, but last time she returned to WWE she was the opposite of Trish (Lita looked old and slow).

Lita would be brutal. She was never more than really bad in the ring, but she looked even worse in that last run. Could barely run the ropes and her moonsault was scary.

 

[geniusMoment]

Per Andrew Zarian the signing is....

Ospreay

 

[BUTT]

Great signing but guaranteed by be a letdown for anyone expecting a surprise debut. Most AEW fans see him as someone already with the promotion.

 

[909]

I would be very happy with that announcement because it would be horrible for pro wrestling for that person to be in WWE and get completely neutered.
