Pretty awesome that they signed a legit contract with the kid and the family will be taken care of.

I've said this elsewhere (probably in this thread too) but if he's comfortable with it they should let him walk out when they do the Rochester show.

I'm not sure what to write, but I've made this in tribute to him. Whatever was on my mind when Mr Brodie Lee was absent from AEW for so long, it definitely wasn't this. It's just so tragic.

I do hope that this doesn't make Brodie Jr feel like he HAS to become a wrestler, but if he's this invested in it I feel like he'll probably want to at least try, and even if it doesn't click for him, I have faith that AEW will continue to do right by the family.

I bet the agreement is closer to "no matter what you want to do, if you want it, you've always got a job here."

I'd imagine it would also apply if he wanted a backstage/non-wrestling job with them, too.

Yeah it has to be something very flexible because he's a literal child and there's no way to know what he'll want to do or be good at. I assume it's in large part a way to make sure the family is taken care of long-term and enshrine them as part of AEW no matter what. It's a classy move and I have every confidence there's not some bullshit clause enforcing any of them to do anything specific with their lives. Also, can I get a Brodie tag added on to the two I have?

I wouldn't be surprised if his wife gets some kind of mostly honorary position like WWE did for warrior's to ensure she keeps getting checks for a good while.

She's a former wrestler iirc. Not that I expect her to return to the ring, but doing something on screen might be a possibility.

The contract for the kid is clearly symbolic (unless he wants it) and just an excuse for Tony to pay money to the family indefinitely.

I was reading an interview with Tully from last year where he basically said he only agreed to do a couple shows as a favor, then he was going to leave, and here we are, over a year later, and he's still around and clearly enjoying himself. I remember when WWE hired him as a road agent, and he was fired and/or quit after only a few shows because of an altercation with JBL. Big Biceps Tony is good people.

It's really nice when you see guys from that era either understand modern wrestling or just not care because it gets a pop and that's all that matters.

Someone put a handful of Brodie Lee Chikara matches up on YouTube. "The Right Stuff" Brodie Lee making his Chikara debut against Equinox Brodie Lee and the Olsen Twins vs. the Colony, apparently the first time he was using the Big Rig gimmick. Brodie Lee vs. Daisuke Sekimoto The Roughnecks (Brodie Lee, Eddie Kingston and Grizzly Redwood) vs. Incoherence (Hallowicked, Delirious and Frightmare) Brodie Lee vs. Eddie Kingston for the Grand Championship, Brodie's final Chikara match. The final moments of that last one are hitting kind of hard, not gonna lie.
