AEW trying to get Orton

There is an AEW thread:

forum.wrestlingfigs.com/thread/356548/official-all-elite-wrestling-thread

There isn’t really any need, I get that this board has the 2nd highest traffic on WF but then all AEW discussion would end up here. AEW rumours should just go in the AEW thread in the other feds board where they belong.

Don't believe what you read.

I fell into it yesterday when I read that Meltzer was reporting AJ was going to be out indefinitely because of a hernia. Bob Sapp countered this report and said something like no one in WWE even is aware of this, and lo and behold, AJ was involved in the main event segment. You don't jump and run around with a hernia.

If AEW is offering big money for lesser dates then Orton, Styles, and pretty much everyone in WWE would be foolish to pass.

Orton, Lesnar, Styles...they should be using AEW as leverage in order to get WWE to pay more. Good for them.

When AEW was first announced I was genuinely interested and was looking forward to giving it a try. Now I’m already at the point where I’m desperately hoping they fall flat on their face and fail. They’ve barely gotten off the ground and I’m already annoyed by them.

They’re being talked about like the greatest company that’s ever existed and they haven’t even put on one show yet. How can they possibly live up to all the hype? My interest in checking them out has steadily gone downhill since they were made official.

How do you get that from his post. He's saying, how you've got large amount of fans, acting like AEW is already one of the best promotions to ever exist, without actually having a show is what's annoying him. Other then announcing they are going to be a new player on the board and announcing some of the talent they do have, they haven't actually done anything yet and people are already acting like they could put the crippling blow to WWE. And I honestly have that same mindset with him. Sure there should be some praise for trying to get something new started on a bigger level then your average indy promotion, but it's getting ridiculous how big some people have tried to already build it up to, just because it's the Elite that's involved, and they did All In. It's like people don't realize, there is a big difference between putting on a single show, and running an entire promotion.

If this is true, I think Orton should go. If he can get about the same or MORE money to do less dates for AEW, good for him. He can spend more time at home with his kids.

And in my opinion, he's grown stale in WWE over the years and removing him from WWE will open his spot up for a new face..and a change of scenery might help him as well.

Or on hasn't been entertaining or relevant in like 5 years. If I'm WWE I let him walk and use the money elsewhere. Randy Orton isnt going to be the face of any company and put thousands of asses in seats.
