Going to guess FTR will probably leave. And Britt won't leave when her contract is up because she probably can't run a practice on the WWE schedule.

Simply, does she want to clean teeth or work for WWE? It's a no-brainer.

Why not both? (AEW lets her do both)

Dentistry might not be there when her wrestling career wraps up; it strikes me as one of those fields you can't waltz in and out of at your leisure. Tools keep changing, knowledge keeps advancing and who's going to want to go to a dentist who hasn't actually practiced for 5 years?

Could you imagine the simps booking themselves in for regular check ups?

You know, I have a problem with the wizard, Chris Jericho. He invites 2.0 to join the J.A.S. and says that's a dumb name. Fine, I understand that. BUT, he never gives them a new team name.

Yeah Jericho is one of THOSE people who doesn't believe in team names.

He's probably responsible for Paul London and Brian Kendrick going their entire careers without being referred to as the Hooligans.

Yet, he thought " thrillseekers " " JAS " and " Fozzy " were excellent ideas.

LOL Tony may not let Dragon do G1 now. Says he cannot afford to lose him for a month. This is how you get Dragon back in WWE.

Wasn't that why he didn't resign in the first place lel?

Good on TK for having some balls to say no.

Yup.  In the end though WWE was willing to let him do G1.  AEW it appears may not.

Good for WWE that is.  Because that is where he is heading if Tony says no.  This is two for two for shows he wanted to do that they told him no for.  Tony keeps this up, Bryan better off resting at home until he resigns with WWE like Miro is.

No. Good on TK For showing some balls by saying no. He had Moxley go off to Japan and do the G1 and get hurt and Danielson is likely going to wrestle his ass off in the G1, damn near kill himself and drag his near 42 year old sore as shit self back into AEW with a " sorry Tony, Imma gunna need a few weeks on the bench to recovery from being chopped to shit and dropped on my head 40 times.. you cool? "

And this is the problem with these multi-verse of madness, open the forbidden door policies - he loses in the G1 ( he ain't winning it ) and then walks back in AEW calling himself " the best " and kayfabe expecting a title shot.... sorry bud, you just lost to Yujiro Takahashi or went 40 minutes with Chase Owens, you ain't the best, because you just lost to Yujiro fucking Takahashi and it took you over half an hour to beat Bullet Club's bag boy.

And how does this benefit Tony if Bryan's response is to tell him he will sit at home then and play with the kid for two years then return to HHH?

How much you see Miro these days?

But nath45, Jericho is a Sports Entertainer! Matt Menard & Angelo Parker are supposed to be bad, like Buddy Peacock and Michael McGillicutty. That's serious heal heat, he's even got us (us!) making pithy comments online.

Jericho doesn't like names for tag teams...

Next minute : Jericho files trademark for " Jeri-Show "

This one makes no sense since AEW does not own Big Show. Even if he teams with Paul, not sure he can legally use Jeri-Show without infringing on Big Show.

He'll launch a Twitter tirade when it's challenged by WWE and he'll pretend he's morally and ethically in the right and all it will achieve will be a pop from the anti-WWE crowd.

For every month that passes, I understand more why he ate pizza off the floor alone after the single biggest moment of his career and not a single person stayed to congratulate him.

My take is he is planning to do a streaming show ala Pod is Jericho and simply misfiled this trademark to be wrestling inclusive instead of entertainment inclusive. Reforming Jeri-Show and calling it that would be kind of lame even for AEW.

Na, fuck Danielson. Send a message to the locker-room that you're not playing around and these guys can just do what they want. It's not like " Danielson = ratings " no-one on that roster does or has outside of Punk.

His primary employer is AEW and you either step down to a pay per appearance contract and work the indies to your heart's content, or you respect the fact the guy paying your wage wants you fit and healthy and available for television.

No Danielson you can't raise your stock in NJPW where they actually know how to showcase talent and get them over. I need you here to face off against Ethan Page in the second round of a tournament you received a Bye in for the All-Atlantic Championship.

I'll make it up to you, Forbidden Door II you can face off against Zack Sabre Jr! But afterwards you've got to face Parker Bordeaux so you can get your hands on that dastardly Swerve who interrupted your promo and tried to poach Wheeler Yuta!

Tony hired him with premise he could work outside events, and pays his talent with this in mind.  If Tony wants guys exclusively, he should be paying for that like every other wrestling fed does.  

Also he fucks Bryan, he will lose a lot of good will.  Bryan is one of the most beloved guys on the roster.  Bryan walks over booking issues a lot of other people will calling HHH up.

I don't think NJPW is as much a priority to Danielson these days. It certainly was a factor but as he's gotten older he'd rather be a stay at home dad but there was just too much money to walk away from. So he took AEW on because they have less dates and offer more creative freedom. Namely Bryan just wants to be able to bleed and work different styles of matches.

Still, it was disappointing that they held Danielson off of WrestleKingdom so he could be at the Seattle Dynamite. Then the only opponent they could organise for him was Tony Nese.

Omega reminded everyone why he was considered the best in the world, Danielson is making short work of Tony and making your mum jokes at MJF...

Of the top stars from the WWE or the ones who think they should be top stars Bryan is the one most giving about taking a loss to elevate someone else.

Probably not the right person to start telling no. Jericho on the other hand is a person you say no too sometimes.

Omega looked like a bigger star in two nights in NJPW (Wrestle Kingdom and New Year's Dash) than he did his entire career in AEW, including when he was the world champion.

That said, Omega was an enormous star in NJPW and had a ton of history, while Danielson never worked there, so it's not fair to say that Danielson would receive the same treatment and be received by the fans in the same way. But I would expect him to receive a fairly high profile singles match, maybe even a co main event slot like Jericho got when he first showed up. He'd certainly put on an amazing show as well.

I'm holding out hope for Danielson vs Zack for Zack's NJPW TV Title. Would be a great match to have on AEW, since this belt is contested with a 15 minute time limit.

I don't think he'd be presented the same way but having that opportunity to work on a big stage and have a marquee match would have done more for him than working Tony Nese.

Not that it makes much difference, but Danielson worked a ton of NJPW back in the mid-00s teaming up with Tyson Kidd. It's not like he's a nobody and fans wouldn't know who he is. Hell, Jericho barely worked any NJPW either and when he did he infamously had one of the worst runs in the company's history.

Even Moxley benefited greatly from his time in NJPW before he went into AEW and he didn't have any history in the company.

Rumors swirling that WWE is trying to pick up Omega. Be the second major push they are making to sign him. Tony likely to extend his contact using injury time to block things.

The Japanese matches play a huge part in why they want to lock him down.

The push to get Omega is what is said to be why WWE is not interested in Jay White.

Jay doesn't have the star power Kenny Omega has/had outside of Japan. Once upon a time though, Kenny was the hottest thing in the business pre-AEW and being AEW's biggest star you can understand the reasoning behind WWE chasing him.

In saying that, Jay would be massive mid-card pick up for WWE. If anyone fits the mold of being able to stop say, GUNTHER, it's a guy like Jay White. He's that level of a performer, but not necessarily a WWE main event player on debut.

Kenny Omega would be a huge get short term. Enough people know who he is that it would be a big deal for a bit. But unless he went on an AJ Styles type run, people would eventually stop caring and move on with their lives. And there’s no guarantee Omega wrestles for more than a few years due to his age and recent injuries. He could stop wrestling tomorrow and still be a millionaire the rest of his life.

Jay White would be a smarter, long-term investment. He’s got insane potential and is a decade younger. Sky’s the limit for him. And I guarantee you Triple H has some big ideas for him.

That being said I hope neither of them go to WWE :lol:

HHH will get Omega and the Bucks the same way, sell them on getting older and WM. Bait them in with one year contracts. Tell them if they are unhappy after, to go back.

Gonna be wild if he does get both, as that would mean he pealed away all four people who started AEW.

Tony is playing hardball it is rumored with the Bucks and it is sign for 3 to 5 years or walk, which will likely send them to HHH. Seems Tony is good at signing people but blows at resigning as he wants all of his top guys locked into contracts long term.
