@BearDown316 Consider? They should offer them deals 100%.. but I think Bowens stays with AEW & Caster, is older than you probably think and that WWE/NXT deal is now or never. He's not going the Santana route
@The_yellowbone Looked it up that 3 mins match with Santana was 17 months before this.. It took them 14 months to even use him again after that.
What I meant he should been 100% signed when they had him teamed with Trey & Wentz the first time against Taurus, Laredo & Juvy near the end of 2023.
@sfsstudios1@TheSB63@The_yellowbone I don't know a bigger pay check..doesn't seem like nothing to me and quality in ring time with talent that were likely on all 3 bucket list of guys they wanted to have time in the ring with seem very cool if I were them.
@sfsstudios1@TheSB63@The_yellowbone Fact is TNA barely did anything with the Rascalz in 25 to make them want to stay..
Wentz was 13-19, last year in TNA... he's 9-14 in AEW plus 6-0 in ROH. Myron was 6-8 last year. Now in AEW he's 4-14 and 5-0 in ROH. Trey was 10-18. 2 wins for all 3 were 8 men tags with Dez..
@LastCallwChrisC@BearDown316@GiftedMoney Wrestlers put their bodies and health on the line.. it sad that some wrestling fans see AEW as "over spenders" and rather see people destroy their bodies for under 100k a year, while the minimum salary in the major sport leagues is closer to 7 figures.
@MikeGilbert311 Rush was reportedly getting 155k during his ROH years.. I would think he would be asking Silva for at least 200k plus and to sign Dralistico, That would be only if WWE was on signing freeze.
@The_yellowbone wrestling is predetermined... Josh beat everyone who you listed cause he was booked to win..
Not sure what you mean by logic.. Did I state that Steven's training is why he pinned Josh? all that post was me giving you info, not opinion besides the Phenomenal Son prediction.
@The_yellowbone Tony Khan understand what he has with Josh .. it just that he has dozens of talents just as good as Josh.... so Tony test many by having them have struggles, eating pins for a year or two before really rewarding them, if they have the right attitude.
@BearDown316 Yes 1% possible.. Why ask? Cause they are/were usable talents.. TNA as example lacks Tag teams. TNA should been talking to them as soon they were free, even if was for a 1 off like Uha
@BearDown316 Is that yep for WWE or just TNA? if you are saying WWE.. Big Bill was taken off the AEW roster page only after that first Big Cass vignette aired on RAW 2 months ago.
@MikeGilbert311 It seem to me that Anthem has benefited greatly cause their debt is less. TNA, the company not so much.. Compare the roster from Jan 1st to today..they went backwards and talent retainment is not better.
@jamille5150@aVillainsWorld@MikeGilbert311 5. Hendry & Santana & Jordynne are former TNA World champions..aka Main Eventers.. besides Josh Alexander last year, the talent that AEW has signed from TNA in 25/26 has been midcarders, who were never going be top singles title holders that wanted new challenges & better pay.
@jamille5150@aVillainsWorld@MikeGilbert311 4. TNA has only 13 new signings so far in 2026, 14 if you count Swan.. While there been 23 departures for TNA.. Talent that were already on the roster that signed new 6 months deal shouldn't be counted.
@True_Tdot_Fan@MissKatefabe The problem is that you state that half of the AEW roster is ex wwe... but anybody that actually researches it going find that it closer to 1/3rd of the roster..
36 weeks into 2026.. WWE (All their brands, including AAA) has 73 males & 40 females (113), AEW & ROH has 87 males & 25 females (112), & TNA has 26 males & 9 females (35) with 12 or more Broadcast or streamed matches.
So what? I love professional wrestling and am excited at the prospect of wrestling one of my friends I havenβt seen in years. Someone who has been underappreciated for years, will finally have the chance to spread his wings and create the professional wrestling he loves.
Let people be excited and live with a childlike sense of wonder without feeling the need to poopoo all over it, Colin
@coolguysinceO1@TheyLive420@bellar93371528 Over a dozen on the roster page has back stage roles, a number of those barely wrestles or has even retired from ring action. There several that are long term injured or not healthy enough..There a few not on contract but are still on roster page anyways. That's half of your 25%
