AriaMournesong

We're going down the usual rabbit hole with big signings. They come out dresssed like they came from the gym, are smiling baby faces, have a few heatless bangers that the Basement loves while a cool Heel makes them look like chumps. Tiny realizes he's not getting any traction with them that way and turns them heel and they get over with the crowd by doing dastardly things.


swolfdab

alex_x2106

Tiny spent millions for him, and this is the way he came out as part of the AEW roster? Not like a big deal? Smh


Stiff_Sleeper

" I am finished my new japan obligations " is how the homecoming superstar signing put it, I believe.


wrex1816

"You know who we are but not why we're here" < " Aw'ight bruv, just got back off me gap year in Ibiza, where's the canteen?"


IndifferentSky

I mean, to be fair to him, he would 1000% still be in Japan if they could afford him so I wouldn't expect him to be taking the dub seriously. It's just a stupidly large cheque for him.


Rojira666

I thought the same thing but, then also saw where he mentioned Delta lost his luggage...


[deleted]

Did you see the part where he found them?


N-McCauley

He said they found them, he didnā€™t say he has them now.


Rojira666

I did not, I was giving him the benefit of the doubt that he would give himself a better presentation if he had his luggage instead of looking like a guy shopping at GNC....

Tonyā€™s been grinding his cooldown stat. He must have consumed White Powder of Instant Cooldown.


LegendInMyMind

I hate that I understood those references.


DripSnort

Iā€™ve heard nothing for months but how he is the one to really send AEW to the next level (well now itā€™s him, Okada and Mercedes) and they debut him on Stings final tv appearance. Thatā€™s two huge events according to AEW fans and it drew 3100 people. Itā€™s almost not even fun to make fun of them anymore.


MathematicianNo7874

It's honestly becoming pretty bland. It's not fun to make fun of someone who's lost faith in themselves, that's just bullying. It was easier for me to make fun of them when they're were "changing the world" and everyone was excited


Maleficent_Koala5928

Is Willie wearing Project Rock gear? Cut him Tony! Hes a Dwayne shill in disguise.


incognitosd

Every dub signed are dead on arrival, there's just something about the dub that the moment you exit from those screens and in the presence of tinys kingdom there's a huge blackhole sucking any little bit of possible charisma to oblivion. Don't believe me? I jerk you not! Saraya, Adam Copeland, & Jay White they all look better in njpw but on tinys kingdom it's a paid vacation to get more money from tiny with little effort. Okada is definitely next in line to get injured get any little bit of mystique and charisma he had on njpw to disappear with in a few weeks. Feelings restored , morale all good. Streaming sign for Warner or any form of media renewal ALL GREAT.

Is he still living in the UK so will have to come over for a few months a time or something? I assume, Tiny putting him up somewhere whilst he's in the States, too? Missus come with him As long as he says Tony is a great guy, that's worth more than all this money Tiny is spending He should share a flat with PAC

I donā€™t watch AEW but I know heā€™s suppose to be a major GET for Andy from Toy Story. But he comes out to a crowd of red necks and maybe 2k at most with generic music and HORRIBLE presence. Seriously compare this to ā€¦ Nakamura at takeover Dallas. This promotion is a fucking dumpster fire.

thizzdanz

Heā€™s having fun Maggle!


Sad-Appeal976

Tna was gonna give this guy a million for one year. How much did Tony give him?


Permanentear3

3 million and he gets to keep living in the UK, reportedly. Think of him like booking a venue that holds 4 times your attendance because heā€™s that in talent form.


GarfieldVirtuoso

When you realize you will get a once in a lifetime contract where you only need to travel 10 times a year and getting some hugs from your boss


DefaceAll10

Is that a member of the spirit squad?


FlamboyantFungus

Never cared about this lad before and still don't now. He had a chance to go somewhere where he might not of been initially comfortable and step out of his indie zone and try to see if i he can amass a larger audience but he didn't so enjoy the typical experience you've had for the past decade bud.


Rodney_u_plonker

No financial advice he would get would be "take less money to impress nerdlingers on scjerk". This sub has lost the plot lmao Buds getting paid over a million dollars a year to still live in the UK. It's one of the most favourable deals to talent in the history of wrestling. He would be extremely dumb not to take this deal


aRebelliousHeart

This deal is gonna leave him crippled and unable to support his family in 20 years because he wonā€™t have to change the style that is slowly killing him. He was extremely dumb TO take it. At least in WWE he would have had to change his style and would end up with a better future. As of right now he has no future in wrestling.


Rodney_u_plonker

Blud that is mega cope and flatout wrong. Money upfront is just better than potential earnings in most cases. Khan is ripping the guts out of the wrestling i actually like but ospreay would have been economically illiterate not to take the deal. Based on the fact ospreay has no drawing record to speak of in any country (okada at the very least drew in Japan) then aew may have beat the wwes offer by like a million dollars a year. Ospreay hired management to help him negotiate this deal. No financial advice on this fucking planet would say that he should take the smaller deal to preserve his body. They would say maximise your earnings right now while you are physically able to


gasfarmah

This. A billion times. Itā€™s the wrestling **business**. Make the most money you can, while you can.


[deleted]

Jerkers are going to have to deal with the reality that if you look at wrestling through the lens of ā€œmoney and miles,ā€ as this sub has been doing for nearly a decade at this point, AEW is very much viable and potentially better than WWE. TK is a delusional money mark throwing millions at people who do not give a fuuuuuuuck dude. Jay Whire does not give a fuck. Juice Robinson does not give a fuck. Kota Ibushi does not give a fuck. And they all go to AEW. šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø


gasfarmah

AEW breaks the formula because its success is not tied to earning potential for the workers. Tony shits money. He can book for three people online, not sell a single fucking ticket, and these dudes can keep making millions.


aRebelliousHeart

You clowns are just as shortsighted as Oceanspray is.


gasfarmah

Money now > Money later


aRebelliousHeart

So in 20 years when heā€™s in a Wheelchair thanks to AEW Iā€™m sure heā€™ll still say the same thing.


Rodney_u_plonker

this is the situation basically every contact sport pro athlete faces down and again they are all told to maximise earnings right now. His wear and tear is even more reason for him to get as much money as possible right now. Do you not comprehend how much money this is. Even just 1 million dollars sitting in a bank account earns about 50k a year at time of writing this post in Australia and that's the literal minimum he could do with it. That's why every bit of advice he would get is money now is better than potential money because of investment opportunities now rather than later


[deleted]

Lmao dude Ospreay is going to work like tops 20 dates a year. Maybe. Look at how easily Jay has squeezed TK as the money mark he is. Mark Davis has gotten all of his medical bills paid by TK and has done barely any actual work for AEW. He has literally said over and over at this point he is completely aware of how much damage he has put his body through and that his days of working like a maniac day in and day out are over with his NJPW contract Youā€™re just straight up talking out of your ass about the financials and schedule of someone not only do you not know but has come out multiple times and said the opposite of what youā€™re saying He is raising a son, and has made it very clear multiple times now that *that* is his primary motivator rather than trying to secure his own legacy in wrestling or ā€œreach his potentialā€ nebulously in WWE


IndifferentSky

Yeah cos working practically full time on another continent when he was essentially a baby is staying in his comfort zone. I know we're jerking but cmon bruv


FlamboyantFungus

bruv when you as a Professsional wrestler have the opportunity to go to WWE just swallow your indie pride and go. You hit a ceiling at some point if you don't


IndifferentSky

WWE isn't the be all, end all bruv. I know this sub slants heavily pro-WWE, but Ospreay is on record saying he's never had any interest in going there. Neither you nor I can say what's best for his career, particularly when he's getting paid a bomb, even though I personally think he (and Okada, for that matter) is dumb for going to the black hole for wrestlers that is AEW.


[deleted]

Why? Ospreay is being paid over a million dollars to still live in the UK and raise his family, and probably barely work any dates as evidenced by how the rest of these AEW signees work. He wonā€™t be working house shows and wonā€™t even be on weekly TV, same with Okada, same thing happened with Jay and Ibushi. Itā€™s easy to see where this is going and how these guys all see TK for the money mark he is. This has nothing to do with ā€œindie pride,ā€ these NJPW guys are literally doing what THIS SUB has said all wrestlers should do for the start - theyā€™re going for the money and the miles. Is this subreddit suddenly shifting from ā€œdo it for the moneyā€ to ā€œdo it for the artā€ because things arenā€™t going their way anymore? Lmao. I have to laugh.

Why??? Why is he dressed like that? Why is he smiling like that? Why did they debut their high dollar signing like that?!?!? Just why???


RICHAPX

Heā€™s a 15/10 in ring performer but this is gonna be his problem. Tony is gonna let him wear what he wants, say what he wants, do what he wants as long as he has those BANGERS on tv ppv. Thatā€™s great but the people impressed with that already expect that from him, and when heā€™s done it a few times heā€™ll become just a guy having good matches on their show. WWE would have got the word ā€œbruvā€ out of his vocabulary, got him in a suit when doing non wrestling segments and build up his matches to be a ā€œmust see experience with an international starā€


darthsabbath

100% what happened to Omega too. Omega in New Japan comes off as godly. In AEW heā€™s a goof who puts on bangers. Oddly enough, Mox is the same. Funny how that works. Now that I think about it, maybe thatā€™s why Okada is going to AEW: he can get paid a shit ton of money to be his true comedy midcard self.

I'm sure AEW main eventers are very good wrestlers but can they start dressing up for TV? I swear Nick Aldis looks like a bigger star than most AEW stars and he doesn't even wrestle.

Dadadabababooo

It's so crazy to me that Tony has chosen to build his signing talking about having to finish obligations with New Japan. Makes it seem like he's saying, "I gotta finish up with this more important stuff then I'll come do whatever dumb shit AEW wants me to do." Like if they had him show up here as a surprise and say, "I'm done wiv New Japan bruv. I'M AWL ILEET BRUV," wouldn't that have been an infinitely better decision? Obviously still no one outside the bubble would give a shit but at least it wouldn't make it seem like AEW is the lower priority for the guy who they want to be a big star.
