I wasnt arguing against the signing of those people, I was more advocating for Rose to be signed as well and comparing the in-ring prospects of them. Everyone just assumes there’s like some AEW vs. WWE debate going on for every topic lol To be fair, the post that started all this was a "lol Tony Khan signs all the WWE castoffs" comment. Yeah that wasn’t me, though!

Not really...but I also recalled you argued for Braun to be signed too before the cyn nonsense Probably, and what’s wrong with that? Braun would’ve been a good fit I think. He’d matchup well with a lot of the talent there for some intriguing matchups, IMO.
I'm not a huge fan of Adam Scherr the human being but I think we can all agree that Braun would have been a smart signing for AEW had it swung the other way.
Dudes his size who are passable to good in the ring don't come along often, and Braun can actually go, imo. Hell, Braun vs Darby Allin is the kind of car crash that we'd all love to see.

I have a feeling Mandy will be back for the Royal Rumble.

Uhh, Tay Melo is somebody that got called out for actually improving astronomically after she left WWE? She's solid. Matt Hardy only really started getting bad in the last year or so. I think it could be argued everybody on this list is just "fine" with Marina and Bates being the only genuine 'bad' wrestlers. And even with Marina, she’s not officially signed as far as it seems from the “canon” with a graphic and such and Bates isn’t even there to be a wrestler. Dude doesn’t even mention Rebel, an actually bad wrestler but I don’t even know if she got a graphic nor is her primary role to be one so I can’t rag on her too much either. I think Rebel was hired for backstage stuff like makeup, and they made the decision to throw her out there as a toadie for Britt, and that's all she's been. The only wrestling they ask of her is to get her ass kicked.

I think that people forget how over Braun was when he was tormenting Roman that time. Granted his booking has been suspect and he’s said all manner of bullshit on social since, but if booked well Braun is a draw.

That's a heck of a bump, considering she also put the prices up.
Good for her.
I doubt we see her return until the sub rates drops significantly, if then. Though Mattel has short memories, they were involved in Daniel Bryan getting canned for the tie incident, and he came back later and did fine.
So if she wants to, I dont see any door being closed forever - but it'll need her to lose enough subs for it to be financially worth it to stop and that sure isn't right now.

$500K in a week is insane. To put that into perspective, Triple H said “wrestlers on the main roster for Raw or Smackdown earn at least $250,000 annually" in an interview with The Athletic earlier this year (posting the article it was quoted in, The Athletic itself is behind a paywall). Even setting aside the fact that NXT is technically developmental, that's well over a year's salary in one week. I can see why she'd rather walk from WWE than from her fansite.

Should also add her agent also said she'll likely make a million by the end of this year, which just adds to what you just said.

Like I said she found the simp gold mine ..paying those prices for what are mostly IG level photos and 10 sec videos.
That train is not long for the station though...eventually she is gonna get requests (if not already) for donuht shots and then other things...then the fetish game is gonna kick in and we will see how far she goes.

It comes down to her motivations and desires. From the sounds of it, she's already making enough money to be set for life if she plays it smart.

Good for her and it shows she doesn't need wrestling or WWE ever again to become a big star,with that money rolling in why on earth would you want to return to the ring for?

Tay and Mandy are the same mold of they are at best passable (when they have a capable partner) to fill out the depth but no division should ever ever be built around them. Can't agree with this at all. Tay is a far, far better wrestler than Mandy

Good for her! Wrestling has not insignificant number of absolute perverts as fans and I hope she takes advantage and bleeds them dry.

Give me 500k in a week or whatever and I think I can figure it out going forward

This is why I doubt she goes back into wrestling unless WWE reverses course or AEW pays an absurd amount of money for her. Unless she just has a genuine passion for wrestling, why put your body through all that again when what you make through FanTime dwarfs that?
Shit, the minute she decides to go into feet pics, she's going to be a multi-millionaire by this time next year.

I’ve been a member of a few sites (call me a simp I don’t care 🙄) and foot pics are astronomically higher than any other content, across the board.
