Show can actually help elevating people like Wardlow, Comorotto, Bear Country to the next level. Exactly - they need a bigger guy to help show the bigger guys how to differentiate themselves. If that's the primary purpose of this one, sold.

I honestly didn't see this coming, but considering that Show's wound his career down, and he hasn't been used by WWE much lately, it makes sense. I don't know how it benefits AEW directly, but it is a surprise for sure.

He's also already turned heel and face 9 times since signing the deal

Wow, that’s pretty crazy. Did not even hear anything about his contract being up and just assumed he was signed to a long term deal with WWE.

"Well It's A Large Production, yeah it's a rather large production tonight.".
Also I thought this was a twitter joke until he confirmed it. Wow. Did not see this coming.

The press release reads like he will start as a commentator but will be wrestling as well eventually.

Seriously always thought he was a WWE lifer, but I guess getting strung around by the damned company for years like that would turn just about anyone! I think that’s the crazier about this for me. I genuinely thought he’d be with WWE for life and retire after a couple more cameos. It also feels weird they never tested him as a commentator considering he is really funny in the right situations and has a tonne of experience. It’s not a massive coup but it’s still pretty surreal. If he’s there for that, that’s a pretty nice coup.

This certainly is a signing that happened.

He’s a very recognizable “WWE guy” and a star so this is a pretty important signing for them in my opinion.

So his last WWE appearance was him getting verbally humiliated by Randy Orton on Legends Night. Sounds about right.

I'm f***ing stunned. Good get for the commentary team in all honesty. He may be stale as f*** but he can talk really well. Good guy to have backstage too.

I feel like he'd be good at commentary. Certainly more than Taz.

Didn't expect that but man, I thought he was done with wrestling. That's pretty funny. He'll be good on commentary I'm sure but wrestling nah, I'm done seeing homie in a ring lol.

Didn't expect that but man, I thought he was done with wrestling. That's pretty funny. It kinda crazy he is younger than Jericho. (Paul turned 49 this year)

This feels like a really big deal somehow, and I'm not even sure why...
Like, bigger than Sting, bigger than Mox... but I reiterate, I don't know why.
