If they wanna be taken seriously on TV then they gotta stay away from Joey Ryan. BTE spots are one thing...but the penis schtick isn’t gonna fly on TV if they wanna be on a channel people can actually find on their cable. I would not be sure about this. He'd only have to dial it down one or two notches to be cable friendly.

They could tell him not to do it. So far he hasn’t used it in LU, so he’s shown he can work without it.
Low Ki could have some good matches with many of these guys, but has the potential to be a locker room cancer, so he’s probably a no.

Don't see them going out of their way to bring in Cornette.
Also, they need to make sure that any phone calls or emails sent by Russo to the Khan Family get destroyed or ignored ASAP.

He has slammed Omega and the Bucks so hard before, but damn I wish they'd give him some sort of deal. I know everyone says and thinks his ideas are dated (and admittedly, some are) but he's so passionate about the business. He's a walking talking Pro Wrestling encyclopedia, and that knowledge is invaluable. He could certainly lend a good hand as an agent, but I'm sure he would have an aneurysm. As much as I think that AEW is gonna be less "sports entertainment" style than WWE, I feel pretty comfortable in saying that I bet they are gonna have shit tons of high spots and all that.

Cornette would be good at helping build an anti-WWE on a large scale, but yeah, I can’t see him do anything but clashing with the Bucks and Omega.

Yeah, I love people saying "Well, Joey Ryan's dick stuff won't fly on tv!", like he hasn't been just fine on Lucha Underground for how many years now? With nary a penis in sight.

In tna he just was the sleazy mustache ride gimmick he became famous for he didn’t do the dick spot, I don’t much about his work in LU but I think he played a cop and I also don’t think he did the dick spot.

Right, that's what I'm saying. People like to pretend like the dick stuff is all there is to Joey for some reason, and then treat it as some barrier to entry in regards to him getting on TV. It's....just not. He does the dick stuff because it makes him money on the indies, but he's a good enough worker to not need it.

I'd really, really like to hope that now they're not affiliated with ROH, the Briscoes never appear again. If they're trying to create an inclusive environment for all, the outspoken homophobes who snatch pride flags from fans in the crowd are not a good way to go.

I actually think Enzo could be a risk worth taking. If they could just use him for his advantages and successfully rein him in the guy could obviously add something. If he slips up, oh well no huge loss. If WWE couldn't rein Enzo in, I have my doubts that the Elite boys would do any better. To me, hiring Enzo is more risk than reward, and the payoff wouldn't balance out with the trouble he'd inevitably cause.

Wasn't he on TNA for awhile, too? I think the most provocative thing he's done on Lucha Underground is the lollipop in his pants gag and rubbing oil over his stomach. His YouPorn Plex and sexual-based moves like the Boob-Plex have not been done on big time American wrestling television to my knowledge. The stuff he does for Bar Wrestling and DDT is not really what he did in TNA and Lucha Underground. I should use the caveat that I stopped watching Lucha Underground at some point, so maybe I missed it.

I’m pretty sure he still has a few dozen contracts with Impact to work through.
