Meltzer was not in favor of the big show signing, consider me shocked. He usually is in favor of most things they do, but he felt like it set a bad precedent of Wwe not wanting to pay an older guy and AEW just paying them more and snatching them up. Also he felt like you need to keep him on commentary for a long long time and away from the ring and away from guys like Wardlow and Archer who are “their” giants who he is a lot taller then. He's paid to have opinions. I put zero weight into them. Personally, I think it'd be rad to see Wardlow pick up Big Show and slam him down. It worked for Cena...

I see the Big Show signing the same as Goldust and even Sting, guys that want to do more for a company then Vince wants them to in their age.

I listened to Red Velvet on the podcast. She confirmed she is signed to a full time contract. This has a few implications. She is the first person to have confirmed to be on a full-time contract who does not appear on the main roster page. Though Ivelisse and Serpentico both confirmed they'd signed deals, neither specified what type of deal. If we assume that the women on the AEW heels page are all full-time members (Red Velvet appears on that list), then it would also include Ivelisse, Diamante, and Leyla Hirsch. Tony had mentioned in an interview that he was confident Leyla was close to signing, prior to her appearing on that page. We also know however, that there has been a history of people appearing on the main roster page who don't have full time deals. Up until recently, Silver and Reynolds were on part time deals. They were not tier 0'd, but they were still on a part time deal.
In conclusion, I no longer have any idea how you actually end up on the official roster page. Cody has said the graphics guy is very particular on who gets the #allelite graphic, but I cannot fathom a logical explanation as to why Red Velvet has not received one and been placed on the main roster page. She is even ranked in the top 5, which up until 2 weeks ago, was my only explanation as to why some of the women were not on that page. I've got nothing anymore.

The 10 man tag on tomorrow's dynamite has been changed to just Hardy/quen against Silver and hangman. I wonder if some people couldn't make the tapings or didn't pass their covid tests.

It's something to keep an eye on. Best case scenario, everyone's healthy but they're saving those other people for a post match angle to further set up Page/Hardy and the Tag Team Battle Royale

How soon do you expect to see a "no thigh slapping" reference on AEW programming?

So I had a thought while seeing her in another just banger of a match yesterday. Why has AEW not tried to go out and sign Willow Nightingale? I can’t understand how she is still out there? I mean I can see an argument for why Wwe hasn’t signed her with all the talent they have but AEW desperately needs a female who can connect with an audience and she is it.

Arn crosses Cody, Aldis vs Cody is an easy big match.

Can go even further with that 4some. FTR are all about pure pro-wrestling, Aldis always markets himself as the 'real' worlds champion, and Spears left for that period with his 'anti-aew' speech. All 4 have a gripe in some form, and can totally run the NWA angle as a way to restore pure wrestling in AEW. Fits really well.

Yeah but he's probably still also mad at the NWA for firing him.
