Seems like that's something that should have been discussed and put on paper before the company even started up. But also lol to literally all of that.

Can't wait for the Cody tweets and interviews about how he'll always love AEW but WWE is the home of him and his family's legacy and other such bullshit

Buzz Sawyer's catching powerslam was so much better than Rick Steiner's. Ricky should be ashamed at his weak ass tribute.

What are you talking about? WWE continues to influence the world, breh.

No. I mean he peaked in WWE in 2011.

Bring back an old, established star who peaked in a previous decade

Well Cody walked away from WWE and is an EVP for AEW and he's seemingly going back so they could probably shoot for the stars for anyone except probably Punk and Moxley.

So his response is to leave and go back to WWE where he'll have no input at all. Makes sense.

I would probably want the place where I had control of my presentation, promos, matches, and input on the rest of the company as well.

Vince wants him back not because he's an AEW star, but because he saw the HHH throne entrance and loved it

MLW is about to pick up, fans

Would truly be hilarious if Cody walked away from his own company to go back to WWE because the fans were booing him and he didn't want to turn heel

Cody Rhodes vs Steve Austin for WM

Boy do I really hope Austin doesn't come back for a match. He's basically legitimately the only top guy from the era not to come back and embarrass themselves. KO doing the KO Show at WM talking shit about Texas and Austin comes out to hit him with a stunner would be okay, though.

Likeability or lack thereof has never been much of a concern for MMA drawing. Many if not a majority of the biggest MMA draws throughout the years are absolute garbage people.

They announced his contract expired, not that he was released. I think they just held him on ice for whatever that time injured was until the contract ran out.

That stairs bump was bonkers

I still think Lawler's matches in the WWF were mostly all comedy segments and I generally hate his entire run from 1992 to today.

Shane is the crowned greatest wrestler in the world, bro. What better way to stick it to his father than become the Turner Network Television Champion.

It would suck but also would be hilarious and such a ballsy shot across the bow

TK personally hyping it multiple times on multiple platforms means there's zero chance it can live up to whatever hype people are building for themselves. The last time he did this, it was Christian, who while a great pick up and great guy to have in your company, certainly did not live up to the hype.

Didn't he try to take over the entire creative with him in charge and his company as consultants or something a couple of years before he returned to TV

Doing tribute moves or spots is one thing, lifting entire sequences is really pretty weird and makes no logical sense in a wrestling match. Especially when they're not doing nearly as well.

A lot more people in the world identify as Christians than Rocks. Facts are facts.
