🙄 Dynamite post lockdown it is then! If there's some kind of Invasion angle, I'd seriously think about bailing from AEW for a bit. Can't see an invasion angle. Aside from Rusev, the talent released today would make the guys who initially came from WCW look like prime Hogan and Flair levels of over. |

Rowan and Young would be perfect in The Dark Order. Gallows and Anderson could join The Elite and reunite with their former Bullet Club teammate Omega. What makes Rowan perfect for it? Because he's tagged with Lee before? He is far from an ELITE in ring performer that's for sure. He has a good persona and I feel that his ring work has improved over the years. He doesn't even have to wrestle much, just be in Lee's corner as his most trusted disciple. After all Kayfabe wise Rowan is the only guy Lee has known the longest so why wouldn't he recruit him into The Dark Order? |

Well if we're talking kayfabe, they're two completely different characters for a start. His ring work might have improved but it is nowhere near Lee's level. There are also PLENTY of other people who have better skills to just be in Lee's corner that's for sure. |

Lee and Harper are the same person AEW aren't like WWE where they pretend other promotions don't exist. He makes fun of McMahon every week as has hinted at his WWE past. Seeing them both together on AEW would be beyond awesome. Two guys with a 7 year history finally free from the WWE machine. It would certainly put my butt on a seat. Not only that, it could even be revealed that Rowan had been carrying a Dark Order mask in his cage for the past few months. |

If the rona has effected WWE to the point they have to release staff, I highly doubt AEW can afford to bring them in. Maybe just a few.

WWE didn't have to cut anyone because of the pandemic yet, they're using it as an excuse. AEW might sign a few people, maybe not. Both places can definitely afford to bring people in though. |

Am I the only one who wants Aiden English to get signed? Rusev Day can ride again!

AEW should get Deonna Purrazzo like NOW my thoughts exactly. her skill was almost unmatched in WWE, too bad all they did was job her out. huge fan of her. |

I haven’t seen a talent wwe has released yet that I’d be hyped for making the switch.

AEW is losing money right now as well and I think one reason the WWE was willing to release so many wrestlers at once is that AEW is unlikely to sign most of them. |

I've seen where the WWE is saying the door is open for most to return once things begin look positive again. So they're betting on most talents either wanting to return or other promotions not being able to sign many at once. And even for those who sign elsewhere, the "splash" will be completely muted without live shows. |

I'm not a fan of Rusev. I heard him on the radio and he was entertaining. He would probably do well in AEW.

I don’t want AEW getting half the guys WWE released yesterday. With the recent additions of Colt, Archer, and Brodie AEW should stick with what they have and build the boys ya got. If anybody would be a good sign I still see Revival signing. But wait till Arn and Tully can possibly be involved. So I agree with ya |

I honestly don't think Angle will go to AEW.
Quote me later if I'm wrong but I imagine he'll want to take a load of family downtime and just stick to the appearances.

When I met Kurt at a convention he told me Vince gave him no choice but to retire. Hopefully he gets a proper last wrestling run if he goes to AEW. |

If WWE didn't run a show in front of fans, they'd still have one of the most profitable years in company history. They made the cuts to reach profit projections, they have every right to do that, but it's a very bad look for the company. |
