If true, those two are good gets especially Archer who has had a fire lit under him since signing with New Japan. Now since they have the spare change, sign some more women please. I guarantee you WWE’s interested in Shazza McKenzie... Shazza has been pushing for AEW to sign her. I wonder if there are some things that need to be ironed out. Archer really opened my eyes last year with New Japan. And his match with Mox was great

Archer really opened my eyes last year with New Japan. And his match with Mox was great My theory is that they weren’t going to make more signings or attempt to until they knew the status with TNT and now they’re fine for at least another 3 years, they have some access cash to try and get people. Getting Pricilla Kelly on the show tonight is probably a way to see if they want to sign her after she does her dates for MLW for example.

I couldn't stand Lance Hoyt in TNA and even the KES version of Archer was just meh to me. But his singles run in NJPW has been amazing. Big signing for AEW if true. He's not going to get pushed any harder in NJPW with ZSJ being in the same faction and AEW desperately needs big men.

I was just about to post about Archer, I haven't been keeping up with as much NJPW, but I've heard that his singles run has been f***ing amazing, is this going to be PCO level of "Holy shit, this dude can go in a manner than nobody expected??"
Also, adding to this, I'd love to see people like Shazza McKenzie get signed to AEW, maybe even Madison Eagles gets signed? Eagles is a former SHIMMER Champion and one of the flag bearers for the Australian wrestling scene; which is getting more and more eyes on it.

I remember thinking Eurgh what? Lance Archer in the G1??
And then he was f***ing awesome the entire tournament and he's been awesome since too.
AEW could do with some big guys and Archer is huge and a good wrestler, he'd be a great signing.

Check out the 2019 G1, this ain't the mid-2000s Archer any more than PCO's a Quebecer in a new jacket.

I just hope if Archer does end up in AEW, they let him do what he did in his NJPW entrances and just attack random staffers standing around ringside.

Cage and Archer solve their "Lack of big men" problem IMMEDIATELY
Then imagine if Harper signs, that's a lot of beef I'd say.

Anyone feel that the roster is starting to risk getting bloated now? 50 males and 17 females. Yes. Wrestling is becoming more like pokemon: 200 people on your roster, and only use six of them.

I'd be down for watching either of the two throwing Evans and Angelico around like ragdolls

Any hoss that comes to AEW should be assigned their own little buddy like a big brother program
Luchasaurus: "Marko, I know you enjoy hanging out with me but I already have Jungle Boy, I'd like you to meet Brian, he's a nice guy and he'll look after you from now on"
*Marko and Brian Cage walk off hand in hand like Tom & Pepe on the Simpsons*

Archer was a revelation in 2019 New Japan. For a guy I never really cared much of anything about previously, he became a favorite of mine during the G1. Dude has been fire since the new japan run I want more

Almost everyone is on the show in some form week by week I would say it's less that, outside of the Elite or Inner Circle guys, and more like people will have a few weeks where they get play, then some time where some of them will be gone for a bit for other commitments, like Jimmy Rave, for example. Still, though, they've been pretty good about not having it just be the same faces getting matches all the time, for good and bad, moreso good. Still, it's hard not to miss some of them when they aren't around more.

He got it covered up. Now he’s got a pretty sick graveyard on his back now.

He pretty much confirmed he is no longer with Impact, let him recover first before joining AEW, I would probably have him debut at Double or Nothing.

Regarding roster bloat, aren't a bunch of contracts about to expire?
