I'd be alright with him sticking around unless he's wanting to do the promotion world tour

5 dates seems like exactly the right amount of time for him to be involved in a match at All Out. I assume it's 5 episode dates and not 5 taping dates, yes?

5 appearances, so this week was one, next week's advertised match is another, and then he has three more. They can definitely space it out so he only appears two more times before a match at All Out, and by then either he'll have agreed to something long-term or he'll have decided he wants to keep his options open and try somewhere else post-All Out (Hawkins is in TNA now, so that's a real possibility)

So, what I'm most interested in is at whose behest is it a 5-date deal? Is this AEW giving Cardona a short-term Prove It deal, or is it Cardona dipping his toe into AEW to see if he wants to stick around?

I've been involved in a number of cults, both as a leader and a follower.

You have more fun as a follower. But you make more money as a leader.



He could just be doing it as a self promotion thing. Give him a featured appearance without WWE bullshit to create more demand for indie dates.

i feel like anyone who could get a deal with AEW would lunge on it right now if they don't have something overseas away from Hell Nation

i can't imagine indie promotions with barely attended or empty events are paying many bills

Genius. Billionaire. Playboy. Philanthropist.

I can honestly see him using it to keep the fires hot until Japan opens back up or to wash the stink of the Fed off.

Kingston will be working a lot less on AEW for way more money so he probably extended his own career multiple years with the stroke of a pen.

AND he can probably still do indy dates if he wants

considering what he was saying in one of his more recent interviews, I wouldnt expect him on any indies.

Cardona. NEW is hinting they will be running shows soon and he's the kind of guy they'll pay top dollar for. If AEW wants him long term the deal will still be there in September but he'll have a better lay of the land on what indies will be running in the fall, if any.

He's certainly got a nearly maxed out bump card and has earned the right to be a featured TV guy and one hell of a resource behind the scenes.

Kingston’s interview with Van Vliet made it pretty clear that some friends convinced him he’d be a great agent, so wouldn’t be surprised that’s where he eventually transitions, especially with how he talks about reviewing his own game tape.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

I was looking at ShopAEW just to see what new t-shirts were up and discovered that The Initiative have a t-shirt and it's kinda low-key incredible. They've also got a Matt Cardona shirt, so he's at least good as signed if that was still in doubt. There's also Rowdy Roddy Piper scarf and shot glass for reasons?

Just wanna say don't sleep on that The Initiative shirt, it's loving awesome.

The Eddie Kingston signing is extremely cool and good, and I'm practically salivating at the potential matches/promo-offs we could see. I really, really want to see Kingston vs Mox at some point, cause I think that could be just beyond amazing.

I think Mox has been just an okay promo since he won the title, so I think someone like Kingston would really get him to up his game, i'd love to see the feud and the match.
