People do realize there’s more to Joey Ryan than just the dick stuff, right? That’s just how he made most of his money. This reads like a Disney song waiting to happen. Dick daft Street shaft I don't, buy that If only they'd look closer Would they see a short dong No siree

The dude just fought tooth and nail to get himself out of the most restrictive contract in professional wrestling...I doubt he's going to sign ANY kind of contracts for a while just to stretch out his legs at this point. ..... what?

The now infamous Lucha Underground contracts which for some were as long as 5 seasons and others were only a couple but even then had the issue of people only being able to leave after the episodes you were taped/aired + 6 months. It was one of the more infamous reasons why Ricochet took so long to get to WWE since his last episode as Prince Puma technically wasn’t shown for months due to TV scheduling and then had to wait another few weeks afterwards to be able to leave. There’s more to it I can’t quite remember but there’s a whole lawsuit going on and many people have already settled to have their contracts ended early, one of them being Joey Ryan.

AEW doesn’t need him. Even if he didn’t bring his silly act to AEW parents could google him and it would be right there which could potentially turn off new viewers. TNT has a lot of reach and could make AEW mainstream. They’re spending a lot of money to possibly make that happen. Ryan’s history isn’t appropriate for it.

If he's going to wind down his career and move to training, I'm not going to fault the guy for going to WWE. I don't think it's a great idea, but he's going where the money is. I just hope he doesn't think he's going to be the same guy in WWE that he is in the indies, because the Famous Dick Wrestler gimmick is officially dead as soon as he walks trough the doors of the Performance Center.
I just know that this is going to stoke the "AEW IS ALREADY DEAD, THEY COULDN'T EVEN SIGN JOEY RYAN WHO'S ON BEING THE ELITE!!!" fire back up again. Ugh.

I'm sure Joey is a great guy and from what I hear is a good wrestler, but his act would be like instant channel changer for me.

I actually think his dick gimmick would hurt AEW. I envision them on TNT trying to win over some fans and some mainstream attention, and he comes out and does his act and pisses it all away.

It's so genuinely irritating to see it pointed out, accurately, that the dick stuff isn't all there is to Joey Ryan, then see like 10 posts behind that going "Well, his dick stuff would be an instant channel changer/hurt their mainstream appeal/piss off parents". Like....seriously, it's not hard to find Joey's work minus the dick stuff. Just look at Lucha Underground, for a start.

I really don't think being able to find the gimmick if you Googled Joey Ryan would really be detrimental at all. I mean, there are multiple people on the WWE roster where you can actually see their dick if you want to look for it.

The dick spot overshadows anything else he can do. Dude could be a top 3 wrestler in the business but no one will know b/c all they talk about is the dick spot.

Maybe he'll finally meet that blonde girl again. Whatever happened to her?

I have no issue with his dick gimmick but don't generally enjoy his matches, so... good?
Like, book him once more so Moxley can kill him or something.

He is a quality performer. I think his Sleazy gimmick would go far in AEW. Without the dick stuff. I think trying to do the sleazy character without the dick stuff is going to quite the disconnect, though. There's definitely going to be a problem with the audience anticipating the dick flip, and being disappointed when it doesn't happen.

Joey Ryan was great in LU and they did not have to do any of the dick stuff and proved he could get by without it , the closest it ever got was doing the lollipop schtick and he barely even did that for the majority of his run there.
And he had an epic street fight with ricky reyes/cortez castro that should be checked out which also really show cases why LU deserves to still be around because they do it up like no other wrestling show.

Been a Joey Ryan fan since he was teaming with Karl Anderson as Real American Heroes. Became a bigger fan when out in DFW his gimmick table ended up next to where we had the camera and mics set up. Got to talk to Joey for a long time that day. Dude loves wrestling and is a very nice and humble dude.
He is much more than "the dick flip guy".

Joey Ryan is a fine wrestler who has made a boatload of money after becoming strictly a comedy wrestler. If he gets the NXT coaching gig and can still do some independent wrestling shows, then that's a great move for him.

I see the comments about him being more than "the dick guy" but that's literally all I see when people post about him, shit. I don't even know what his gimmick is. What's his gimmick?

His gimmick is sleazy old guy. It aint hard to find his pre-dickflip matches online. Just takes a few seconds to search.

He wouldn't be able to get away with the dick gimmick in AEW either, at least once the TV show starts. There's no way in hell TNT - which is still going to have SOME say in the content level that they'll air in that timeslot for the advertisers they're courting - will let that fly.
