WWE does nothing with them, why would they offer them a multi million dollar deal? I am not sure I believe that detail, but this is most definitely WWE’s loss. Those two have drawn money as a team and likely will again elsewhere. They have the personality and skills to be a big deal in any wrestling company in the world. Literally because they don't want anyone else to have them.

What? Nah. That didn't happen. Dude, I couldn’t have made up the idea of a two referee match being involved in a nonsense tag feud for no reason if I TRIED. Just goes to show that I've completely fallen off the wagon as midcard title reigns.

I will say considering Anderson moved to the US to raise his family in America rather than Japan, it seems AEW’s the more logical destination.
Not saying they wouldn’t go to NJPW again, just that was the reason they left in the first place.

Like, I was giving them props in my post, but they are definitely role players, I just think they deserve to be in the mix. But, paying them millions just not to go elsewhere seems crazy to me:

Again, Zack Ryder’s been on TV more in 2019 than the entirety of 2018 and I guarantee you they’ll offer the same amounts to him even though he’s not doing a thing of worth. It’s great for the workers but goddamn, man, you don’t need to be paying that much for people you didn’t use much in the first place.

What if, I don’t know, Fandango got let go, became the biggest star in a small promotion which gathered so much interest, it was brought by a billionaire and used to compete with WWE? If that sounds ridiculous, tell them that!

I actually wonder if this will cause any problems in the locker room as all of the other wrestlers loved them for their humor. I remember a story that there was a foreign tour to Europe and Seth Rollins went to them and asked if they were on it. They said no and he replied something the effect of, "I am going to talk to whoever I need to to get you guys on there. We will all be miserable without the Good Brothers on this trip." And a few hours later, they were booked. Regardless of what you think of their ring work, these are two valuable guys to have in the locker room. They are anti-JBLs.

Plus it's already been reported that salaries are set to go up dramatically when those deals kick in.

Still millions of dollars they could use on something or someone else, I just don’t see sense in it. Even if it is just play money to them. But, maybe that’s why they are a billion dollar company and I’m just some broke boi.

They’d be spending a few million to make sure a shareholder doesn’t ask at the annual meeting “Why are people leaving as much as they have recently?”

The WWE literally had money with having the original Bullet Club and did NOTHING with them. I mean AJ and them interacted for what 3 weeks? and they had like 2 or 3 interactions with Balor? At the time i thought creative was doing the marvel bit where they acknowledge trivia/tease upcoming story lines, then i learned it was more "mid level care put into unique fighting game character meetup intros".

Yeah I don’t really see WWE losing anything valuable here if they leave. And good for them if they think they can make that money elsewhere AND get booked on TV. Honestly feels like a win for everybody. WWE would have kept pouring money into them even if they had no plans of using them. Yeah, in a way AEW is helping WWE. Not to totally absolve creative but the WWE roster is so bloated right now that even with the best bookers and the best intentions some wrestlers, even very skilled wrestlers just get lost in the shuffle.

Yeah, I’d say it’d be the right call. Frees up some space on the roster and they can go get more regular work with their mates in AEW.

Another shoe drops, and I'm sure more are gonna come when it comes to WWE
No doubt these guys will be fine and are probably going to AEW which will only strengthen their tag team division. Gallows is also pretty damn good at recruiting and scouting as well, so he might be a good asset backstage overall. They said he's incredible when it comes to morale, one of the few that made Dean Ambrose (Usually very reserved backstage) constantly crack up.
And they're really not someone you can mark as "Former WWE Talent", like PAC, they had a stint there, but it's only really a segment of what has been long and very good indy careers for the lot of them, and a lot of people knew them before WWE, though of course having a WWE run will help.

I have said this but I will repeat it: WWE is an injury factory. Everyone who works there eventually seems to run into some issue with their health that will trouble them for years. This isn't worth any amount of money. You don't see nearly as many wrestlers outside the WWE dealing with these injuries in the same way, even when they wrestle a more demanding style. Because they get time off to recover. Anderson and Gallows are just the right kind of mid-carders the WWE road schedule loves to grind into dust. Assuming they did anything with them to begin with.

Good.... I hope they are used properly wherever they go next. These guys are entertaining, IMO.

I am disappointed this may be the end of the Tex Ferguson/Chad 2 Badd tag team in Southpaw Regional Wrestling.

I mean we’re they misused or just not great fits? I think it’s a little bit of both.
