I really would rather it isn't a partnership. My viewpoint on that kind of thing is basically just if I want to watch X company's guys I'll watch them and that it just creates a bunch of needless complications. And really I'm not sure I see any real way one would actually be of much benefit to AEW right now. They could instantly start promoting and using more guys with “starpower” on their shows. It would be huge for AEW. Okada, Tana, and Ibushi showing up on TNT? Yes please.

Well, the AEW Instagram page has just uploaded a pic and added “Location announcement coming later today”. So unless it’s a big location, looks like this was nothing

But is that going to bring anyone in that isn’t already in? Does the casual fan know about them? I’d say it’s be debatable how much an impact they’d have on ratings, especially considering their DVR numbers are worryingly high, but I absolutely think having them around for PPV’s would increase PPV sales and it could impact ticket sales for Dynamite appearances.

And really I'm not sure I see any real way one would actually be of much benefit to AEW right now. Mostly, I just don't care much for the idea of Kenny back in NJPW, and I don't have a burning need for him and Ibushi to be in the same promotion at the same time, either.

In this case though it wouldn't be any kind of a full time capacity though. He'd likely not be in the running for championships, and would probably just pop up once in a blue moon. ... So kind of like the end of his last run, only he wouldn't be champion this time.

Not for nothing, but I think expectations need to be tempered: Cody never said “huge news”, earth shaking news, or anything like that, he simply said “good” news.

New Jersey March 25th. Prudential Centre. Damn, I was hoping for solid gold strippers. There's only two left in the world.

I’m kind of hoping they pull a Christmas Story on us, and the Red Rider BB Gun is just behind the tree.

New Jersey March 25th. Prudential Centre. California or somewhere WWE doesn't go much anymore would have been bigger news to me.
