quote:– Sean Radican over at Pro Wrestling Torch had some exclusive details regarding talent contracts for All Elite. According to Radican, AEW has signed several independent wrestlers to “holding deals” that will convert to full deals once the promotion secures a TV deal. The contracts are said to be quite lucrative, with the floor being “a good six figure deal.” Didn't know this was public but yup. Mostly the All In roster and few other well-known indie names. The holding deals are monthly.

Morrison's wife Taya RT'd the AEW logo: https://twitter.com/TheTayaValkyrie/status/1080211298216947712 There are several IMPACT contracts in March that's all I know. There are two names I've heard that are AEW bound. No idea about Johnny either way though.

DLC Inc posted:HUGE SHOCKER There will be some of that but a lot of WWE jumps will be Cody's pals Ryder, Ziggler, Cesaro and MAYBE Kevin Owens. There is a level of resentment towards the NXT generation from the FCW/OVW talent. A lot feel they were dropped too soon in favor of shinier new toys. Also, they are older and see WWE for what it is and likely want the lighter schedule.

Tato posted:Rovert is evil for even floating it. His girlfriend still works for them and literally every time one of us forlorn Cesaro Section fans writes into Meltzer to inquire about him leaving WWE, Meltzer almost immediately without hesitation laughs and says Cesaro isn't going anywhere. I just said he's friends with Cody. Obviously, the Vince McMahon Austin interview exists and he was shuffled into a (good) tag team as they weren't going to let him be a singles stars.

VJeff posted:Those guys make themselves look like main eventers really easily anyway. Like, if you had Mojo or Ryder go WWE WASTED ME BLAH BLAH BLAH then that's bush league but a guy like Cesaro or Owens will make you believe they're a main event talent in about five seconds of being themselves. Made this joke today: https://twitter.com/SoDuTw/status/1080423852386193408 Obviously, this is the real template https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNviBmA9xbY

Jenkem Delivery posted:AEW's only bet for success hinges on them being able to do a lot of things well with a razor thin margin for error. They need to put out a good product, market the poo poo out of it, get a TV deal, and attack the WWE's brand as the only game in town. Credit: Post Wrestling quote:**It is worth noting that next Tuesday’s All Elite Wrestling rally in Jacksonville, Florida is taking place the same night the WWE is in the city to tape SmackDown that night. The rally will take place outside of TIAA Bank Field at 5 pm with Cody, The Young Bucks, Hangman Page, Christopher Daniels, Frankie Kazarian, Scorpio Sky, and Brandi scheduled to appear. They aren't being reverent.

If you want to know about the AWE/ROH/New Japan dynamic. Even though there are no real ROH guys at the Dome show, I've heard that Delirious, Gary Juster, and Greg Guilard are going to head off a potential meeting between New Japan and Tony Khan. Delirious is meeting with Rossy from STARDOM too.

Meltzer seemingly went by Tony Kahn's Twitter followers on the Britt Baker signing. There's nothing to it.

Longtime Observer reader and PWG attendee. Value, mock, laugh at that but it is a head up on Dixie.

Was talking to someone in the Wrestling industry today (god I sound like such a tosser I know but what's new?). But he was wondering what the tagline Double Or Nothing means as a tagline for All In. He suggested to me that it could mean they will channel Memphis Wrestling and offer to refund all the fans in attendance if the sound doesn't draw double the attendance of the first All In (11,263). Personally, I think is a smart idea given the budget AEW reportedly has. If they draw close to 22,526 it will show TV Companies, sponsors, partners they are a real player and they will make the money back. It will further bond them with fans as they will get either loaded Wrestling show or a free loaded Wrestling show. Or could be an empty "TNA Against All Odds" name and that's it. Draxion posted:All of her academic and professional background is in broadcast journalism and TV presenting so she's probably pretty well suited for it. She's pretty well liked by other wrestlers too.

MysticalMachineGun posted:Is this a joke? There is no way this would happen. It's just a name. Why would there be no way? It is a pretty decent use of marketing spend. Also look at arenas AEW's Twitter is following. And knowing Elite fans they'll probably spend the refund on merch at the show. rovert fucked around with this message at 23:10 on Jan 3, 2019 |

Was to first to say this on social media. I trust the person who told me that Meltzer is an AEW consultant. A bunch of people ran with it uncredit and that is what it is. https://twitter.com/JustinLaBar/status/1081307092844204032 https://twitter.com/JustinLaBar/status/1081307397384257541 https://twitter.com/WIncRebel/status/1081309428400484358 https://twitter.com/SeanRossSapp/status/1081719124630425601 https://twitter.com/SeanRossSapp/status/1081727108097949696

EugeneJ posted:Uncle Dave doesn't talk about family business Meltzer does lean into the idea he's in the tank for Elite giving the Cody Dome a pass, for example, doesn't help the perception. But personally, I am bored of it all. All of bitter journalist types/competitors have latched out on the story/idea without looking into themselves and progressing the story if there's a story. I do think Meltzer would give advice for free because he's DAVE. And wants to improve the industry.

Gumball Gumption posted:I'd be a little surprised if Meltzer was making money off of AEW because he seems to consider himself a real journalist and hold himself to those standards. I wouldn't be surprised if he gave some free advice though or had kept quiet on things for the AEW guys. Meltzer mentioned how much the Bucks mean to him/touched him as parents in his obituary to his own father. As they could travel across Oceans and American Coasts just to have a few hours with their kids. Covering the US Wrestling scene must have been SO tedious. With WWE/Vince having all their hardcoded issues and TNA and Dixie Carter completely making GBS threads the bed and missing out the window they had to take serious market share from WWE. I can see why he has embraced the Elite has much as he has and has stepped outside of the levels of objectivity he should display.

sportsgenius86 posted:Highly doubt Dave is getting paid but I’m sure he’s giving free advice because Dave is intelligent enough to know that a successful AEW is going to improve his WON business. For sure. But saying things like the timing of the Jacksonville AEW rally is just a coincidence stretches the bounds of believability.

The Kimoa Kid posted:Right, and when he sets that standard, and then he tries to play the fool on these AEW stories, that doesn't strike you as odd? It's just a baffling stance, I think, to publicly be very good friends with these folks and then occasionally ignore that relationship and act like you're just as clueless as everyone else, then suddenly get scoops you're only gonna get as a friend. Like the whole thing leading up to the AEW announcement was super off-putting to me. Every WOR episode was the same poo poo: "uhhh yeah well they've got trademarks but it's nothing without a TV deal." And then he scoops BTE! He's right on this one.

Meltzer in the Observer would write love letters about Tye and stated Cody was 18 months away to called up. Tye/Shawn Spears was a real standout at the time. WWE called up Cody when his body hadn't even filled out yet. Tye was called up in a failure on the WWE ECW brand.
