AR Fox offered AEW Contract

[kingoftheindies]

Well deserved. Guy has been great on the indies for years and unfortunately lost opportunities in the past. But a good guy whose also a top notch trainer.

Here's the clip from AEW

updated with embeds and full clip

Fox getting inked to a major promotion is well overdue. Congrats to the guy, it's about time!

If you want to retain your sanity don't click the twitter link, though, the dregs are out play the "wHo iS tHaT, wHo CaReS aBoUt HiM?" game.

[Finish Uncle Muffin’s Story]

I tend to think AEW needs to quit hiring people, but I think this is an exception because AR Fox leading Top Flight as a trios team makes a ton of sense.

For those unfamiliar with AR Fox, check out his work as Dante Fox in Lucha Underground

AEW already dissapointed me twice lastnight.

1. That terrible camera angle when he did his beautiful swanton bomb.

2. They did not use this to even just have Dante/AR and Swerve just walk past one another in a segment just as a big ole wink and nod.

But damn happy for mah boy ..idk if he is gonna get to show out like he did in LU because this tends to be a thing with LU talent post LU but we will see.

Alot of people I noticed in the show thread apparently were entirely new to him...so here is the usual primary advice WATCH LUCHA UNDERGROUND!!!!

[Facetious]

Well deserved! I'm sure he's going to be in a Sydal role, but he's getting paid to work with younger talent and established guys while running his school.

[This Player Hating Mothman]

Easy pickup. Very talented guy who never got his due largely due to doing like one single porn video for money that nobody would have ever seen or stumbled on. Completely unfair reason to compeltely stiff a guy as talented as he's always been, but at least now he has a shot. Get paid, train some dudes, transition into something backstage as he gets older. He deserves it.

[Cyno]

AR Fox is an incredible talent and trainer who could do a lot of great work as a player/coach type. Hope he gets brought on.

[Dub H]

I was impressed. I wanna see AR Fox vs Fenix on one one,please and thank you.

[Magic knows Black Lives Matter]

Again, glad AEW exists so cats like AR Fox who honestly set the table for a lot of modern high flyers can get their flowers

AR Fox was supposed to be the next Big Thing, and then he... just kinda wasn't.

Good to see him getting a shot at the big time.

Yeah sadly dude lost a lot of opportunities because of that. I think that combined with a Marijuana arrest in 2012 made it difficult for people to sign him. Surprised he didn't get more love after his run with LU.

But Fox is a great trainer and his students are all pretty good wrestlers (many of them have been Dark regulars). Let Fox get some good money get a run and let him help train for the future

Also we can all admit that it's homophobia holding him back, right? Like we all know that the only "problem" with that video was the fact it was gay.

[Harry The Arrow was Wrong!]

I'm so happy for the dude. The fact he obviously didn't get a chance to have his big break because he did gay porn was absolute bullshit.

It totally was

I honestly think the fact that apparently, Fox arrived on set, only was told it was a gay porn when he got there, and still did it and was still ok with it cause hey he still got paid, was a hell of a chad move of him.

If this happened in 2022 it wouldn't even be a blip on the radar personally outside of maybe some memes that he did a porno. The fact it happened in like 2012? That shit was treated like Fox got exposed in the SpeakingOut movement by some people... and I wish I was kidding. You can still find articles where people call it a "Scandal"...

I keep thinking that this is Rapid Delivery Rory Fox and now I want someone to get his old newspaper delivery gimmick.

For AEW it's multiple plusses all around

- You get a great veteran high flyer who hits all his moves crisp and gets crowds into everything he's doing

- You can stick him with a young team, help build them up, and make a very fun mainstay Trio

- He's a great agent/booker/trainer so you get all good things cause Fox isn't a dummy

- He has a training school that could act like another little feeder system for AEW, could see some of those peeps on DARK getting a shot, it's good for the business as a whole

Overall a great investment for them, with the roster as big as it is now, these are the types of people you wanna look for, people that can fill multiple roles and help your company inside and out, and I'm glad AR Fox is that, he's deserved it for a decade.

Happened on the 11/1 edition of Dark. Was a banger.

[Mr Mario Mario]

I can’t wait to never see him on TV except when he’s jobbing

That’s nothing against Fox. He looked really good in the match and I enjoyed him in Lunch Underground but AEW ain’t exactly hurting for talented wrestlers so I can’t really see a spot for him



And I know there’s other benefits to bringing him in but I’m sure you could get those without bringing him in as a full timer
