-ERIK- Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 12 minutes ago, Phil said: You may not have to wait long. There's a ton of buzz that Wyatt could be coming in as soon as September 29th in Rochester because of the connection to Brodie Lee (who was from Rochester). That would be huge Rumors I read were Wyatt wasn't happy with ideas they had with his character and I guess Vince thought he was being to protective of his character . Vince continues to be clueless.

Sharpshooter Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 Awesome news about Wyatt. I heard awhile back he might go to Impact, but going to AEW makes more sense because of the Brodie Lee connections and all of that you mentioned. WWE screwed up the Wyatt Family from the get go, so he could use a change of scenery and fully be able to get in character. I'll be interested to see what his plans are for a gimmick, because he's been teasing something a bit different on Twitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted September 17, 2021 Author Share Posted September 17, 2021 Well, the problem with AEW is their roster is filling up fast, and not with regular folks, but high-end talent. That is both a reason to go to a company like that, but also something to be wary of if what you envision for your character is a little more exclusionary. A stop-off in Impact wouldn't bring the same industry pop, but it might give him the opportunity to kind of beta test any new characters he wants to. Might even be able to do it with Strowman, who is reportedly in talks with Impact as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpshooter Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 Yeah, it sounds like Stroman is Impact bound. I know I've read concern that AEW almost has too much talent, and if they'll be able to afford to keep them, let alone give them all a fair booking opportunity. But, Tony Khan is quite well off financially, so I think they'll be alright. Also, I hope all of these people make it in the new AEW video game that's in development. That's going to be an amazing roster if so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted September 17, 2021 Author Share Posted September 17, 2021 Tony Khan has a net worth of over a billion dollars. "Afford to keep them" isn't much of a concern, if it is one at all. The real question is booking and opportunity, like you said. Guys like Malakai Black, for example, can find them selves pretty quickly swallowed up despite coming in like a house on fire because the debuts don't seem to be letting up. It becomes a shiny new toy syndrome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted September 17, 2021 Author Share Posted September 17, 2021 So, uh, yeah — pretty sure Ric Flair won't be coming to AEW afterall. I'd be surprised if Impact didn't distance themselves from Tommy Dreamer, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted September 17, 2021 Author Share Posted September 17, 2021 Quote Tommy Dreamer has been suspended indefinitely by Impact Wrestling. Anthem Chief Corporate Officer and Impact President Ed Nordholm issued an e-mail to the Impact roster and staff today to announce that Dreamer has been suspended indefinitely moving forward, according to PWInsider. Quote Nordholm stated that the company was aware of Dreamer’s DSOTR comments, and that they were “out of line with our core values” as a company. Nordholm went on to say that Dreamer was “asked to leave effective immediately” from Skyway Studios in Nashville, where the company is preparing to tape content this weekend. Nordholm also asked if anyone had any questions or concerns, to approach Impact Hall of Famer & Producer Gail Kim, Executive Vice President Scott D’Amore, or himself. https://www.pwmania.com/impact-wrestling-suspends-tommy-dreamer-indefinitely-for-vice-dark-side-of-the-ring-remarks -- So, more than just not working the tapings — he's been suspended indefinitely.
