Who hasn’t appeared in AEW / ROH?

[KingPooper]

Now that Dark is officially over and ROH is getting its footing. Not counting names signed to WWE, Impact, NWA, or MLW. Who hasn’t appeared on Tony Kahn run show?

It’s just Effy right?

Given he just had a huge moment on the NJPW Strong shows, Jun Kasai has never appeared on AEW TV yet

Given Nick Gage has, guys like that and Great Sasuke getting a cameo or match eventually would be pretty cool. Also for being a guy who has mainly wrestled a deathmatch style his whole career, Kaksi can still work pretty damn well for 48.

Has Speedball Mike Bailey appeared in AEW?

I have yet to appear despite laying out an offer.

Did Myron Reed ever make an appearance?

Not yet. He pretty much got his visa issues worked out and signed with Impact.

Unrelated I ran into Mad Man Pondo at Toy Vomit in Lexington (I only mention the store because they are always doing wrestling signings and have one of the largest wrestling toys section probably in the world) He was just there shopping with friends, I asked him for a selfie and he says “I’ll do you one better, hand the phone to her” then proceeds to put me in headlock for a photo op. For a death match guy, he was one of the nicest wrestlers I ever met.

Man, Toy Vomit (they call it Toy HQ now) was one of the best parts of living in Lexington while I was in school. Oddly enough, I ran into someone else who has never been in AEW in there and got a photo once, Elijah Burke. Also an extremely nice dude.

I want another AEW/Impact crossover just to see Speedball versus Kenny Omega.

He's signed to Impact, though he's worked NJPW shows via their own partnership.

Not sure what the current working relationship is between Impact and AEW outside of both being partners with NJPW (and I think AAA?), though they're on good terms from a professional standpoint at least. Not sure how long Bailey's gonna be in Impact, but I'd love to see him have some matches with certain AEW talent.

Honestly, based on what I've heard over the years, deathmatch guys actually tend to be some of the nicest wrestlers in the business. I think it has something to do with how much you need to trust the other guy in the ring when you're swinging around light tubes and flaming barbed wire bats.

Guys like Justice Pain and Masada seem to be the exception, rather than the norm.

[IgnahtaSempria]

I know he's apparently been backstage working in a creative capacity recently, and Tony Khan's said on Twitter that he's trying to get him in a ring, but I'm just gonna keep on saying Chris Hero until it manifests.

YOU EITHER RETIRE OR YOU WRESTLE, HERO. EITHER WAY, I'M GETTING MY KINGS OF WRESTLING REUNION.

[Rave]

Considering all the west coast wrestlers who've been through, it surprises me a little that neither Jordan Clearwater nor Bateman ever showed up. I mean, yeah, I don't like Clearwater, but dude showed up in a lot of places, and I was hoping they'd bring back Bateman when Vincent/Dutch turned back up.

No, oddly enough. I know dude's still wrestling, he was on Derby City not too long ago. Would've thought he'd have been a sure thing to show up when AR Fox got signed.
