Re: All Elite Wrestling Thread
Per Dave, WWE offered deals to Cody, the Bucks and Page - Page was offered main roster money to be pushed on NXT, and Cody and the Bucks were offered 3 year deals, the Bucks getting AJ Styles money, and BTE put on the Network.
The three year deal included a provision where Cody and the Bucks could leave after six months if they were unhappy with their push.
Triple H apparently talked for a cumulative 12 hours with Cody and the Bucks - WWE were stunned that they turned the deals down, as the plans were for them to debut at the Royal Rumble.

Re: All Elite Wrestling Thread
They are negotiating with two major cable networks for a live weekly two-hour show
AEW opened picking up sizable talent and there are very serious negotiations with two major cable stations for a weekly two-hour live prime time television show
The Jacksonville show is expected to take place in July, and the third show is expected to take place in Chicago in September
The second AEW show will be during the summer in Jacksonville, with a large percentage of proceeds going to benefit victims of gun violence. There is still a lot to work out for the show, but it will most likely be in July or closely related to that.
The third show, as yet unannounced, is likely to be in Chicago, possibly back at the Sears Center, over Labor Day weekend with the idea of being the anniversary of the first All In, and would also be a PPV show.
They are unlikely to land Mayu Iwatani, but are looking at other Japanese women including bringing in Aja Kong
Women wrestlers from Stardom and other promotions have been contacted. One of the key ones was Mayu Iwatani, who is unlikely to come. ROH, which also has an affiliation with Stardom, paid for Iwatani’s three-year U.S. visa so unless ROH and AWE make a deal, which will be difficult because they are competitors, Stardom feels it would be wrong to have her work against ROH, which also has booked Iwatani for its Madison Square Garden show.
Several Japanese women have been talked about for at least certain dates, including Hall of Famer Aja Kong, but that deal is not believed to be completed. But the Japanese women are being heavily scouted.

Re: All Elite Wrestling Thread
I bet the Jacksonville show runs on July 6th, same time as the NJPW G1 show in Dallas.

Re: All Elite Wrestling Thread
If I'm Marty Scurll I'm staying with ROH for the foreseeable future. Why go to AEW where he can be the fourth banana to Cody, Page, and Omega? In ROH, he can be booked at the top of the card all the time. He is insanely over and he can move merch. Seems like good business to me.

Re: All Elite Wrestling Thread
I can't imagine he stays. The Elite are his friends, they already made him a ton of money, and they're probably going to pay him a lot more.
Wouldn't you go work for your buddies for a pay increase?

Re: All Elite Wrestling Thread
It would be an awesome match, but without something else on top of it, it doesn't feel like the sort of main event ROH has been booking for major shows over the past few years.monster mafia wrote: ↑Sun Jan 13, 2019 2:54 pmbandido vs lethal?? what do you think?Big Red Machine wrote: ↑Sun Jan 13, 2019 10:44 amI think Lethal vs. Taven is possible.monster mafia wrote: ↑Sat Jan 12, 2019 10:50 am the only direction i can see for g1 supercard is marty vs lethal..

Plus he gets to stay in NJPW, which now has a big hole on the babyface side of its jr. heavyweight division that he could slide into nicely.Mr. Mojo Risin wrote: ↑Fri Jan 11, 2019 6:47 pm If I'm Marty Scurll I'm staying with ROH for the foreseeable future.

Re: All Elite Wrestling Thread
We are still a long way from his contract being up and 2019 has already been crazy. But expect him to be WWE bound.Mr. Mojo Risin wrote: ↑Fri Jan 11, 2019 6:47 pm If I'm Marty Scurll I'm staying with ROH for the foreseeable future.

Its been said from the start, whether people bought tickets to see ROH, New Japan or both, this is an ROH promoted, organized and ran show. Jericho's signing with AEW is a major part of this so unless ROH and AEW agree to work together which is unlikely for many reasons there isn't even a remotely slim chance of Jericho working an ROH promoted show.
