Look, I know Tony can’t sign everyone. But in 90 days he needs to sign Hit Row as a faction and show Vince the mistake he made. Top Dolla’s been cringey lately, but Swerve is amazing and the group has potential. Tony can book them the way they should be, with Swerve in the main event while Ashantee and Top Dolla feud with the Acclaimed and B-Fab gets some reps on Dark in the womens division. Swerve for TNT Champion and just turn him loose.

Strickland is a must and AEW wanted him in 2019 so that seems like a lock to me The others seem set on keeping the faction alive on the Indies... I might wanna see how they do outside of a WWE environment first tbh. They are all very green outside of Strickland... though Dolla and Francis could probably hold up in the tag division well though.

Fans: "AEW has a major lack of POC stars" WWE: "Say no more" WWE doing God's work to help AEW out.

No Nia Jax, please. That's all I ask. Lol at Dynamite (did I mention I was there enough) someone behind me shouted to Nyla Rose "You're the Nia Jax of AEW!" and then someone else shouted "That's TOO mean!" and everyone in earshot started laughing. I don't think Nia Jax has a future in AEW.

Get Hit Row onto f***ing Dark and Elevation to learn or something, but they need Swerve and if he's committed to sticking with them then they're worth it, just sign Strickland, just please sign Strickland and get him to the title within a couple years. He's the man. He's got it. From the first time I saw him on the indies I knew there was magic in him, and AEW you have your chance to do something with that magic after WWE squandered it. You can solve a lot of your complaints about POC talent overnight if you give this man the spotlight he deserves

Hardly surprising that he thinks this way regarding WWE's releases tbh. If I had Khan's money and I had a wrestling company I'd probably be thinking along similar lines tbh.

Yeah Swerve is a must-sign for AEW, assuming there's mutual interest. Ember/Athena too for that matter. Everyone else I could take or leave, though Johnny Dynamite (and/or Johnny Rampage) might be fun.

I'm so glad Swerve isn't being f***ed around on. Sign that man please god.
Sidenote I totally forgot his name was Shane Strickland for so long and I can't stop thinking about propane.

Hit Row should be signed and debut as a major faction, with Swerve taking the TNT title within months.
Similarly, I would have Lee debut at the top, winning the world title in 2022.

I’ve never been one of those “Pfft, I’ll NEVER call those people by their WWE name” EXCEPT with Shane Strickland. Shane Strickland sounds cool. Isaiah Scott sounds like one of the NBA players who gets traded every season to a new team.

Strickland's LU name was his best ring name.
KILLSHOT.

Strickland's LU name was his best ring name. KILLSHOT. What if we combine his names? -Scott "The Killshot" Strickland -"Killing Swerve" Isiah Shane Strickland -"Swerveshot" Shane Scott Strickland

How is Tegan in the ring?! With Jade as potential tbs champion, there will be an open challenge opportunity for somebody to wrestle a match around her..

Like, she’s good, but she’s also had like four knee reconstructions, three of them in her WWE tenure. She’s worth a shot, at least.

Nothing I've seen tells me she can't wrestle anymore... it's more of "You're getting a very injury prone wrestler if you try it" which is always a worry. But Tegan's got the skills to be worth a flyer SOMEWHERE.

I really hope they get Swerve. That dude is just money. Genuinely think he could be a main event player within a couple years in AEW. He just has it.

Top Dolla and A.J. Francis are the same person. You mean Top Dolla and Ashante Adonis.
