Tony is interested in Nakajima, and Nakajima is apparently mutually interested

Tony said Adam "saved him a couple bucks" in licensing Metalingus with Altar Bridge
"Bryan did not have the same connection with Europe"

So apparently when The Pixies "Where is My Mind?" interest skyrocketed when it became Orange Cassidy's theme, Jefferson came back to Tony with a more reasonable offer to license "Jane" out for Orange instead
That's really funny, people don't understand just how popular wrestling can make a song lol

Tony said one of his favorite theme moments was when he got "We Will Rock You" for Saraya at Wembley

Tony Khan's love for Japanese Pro Wrestling can be traced back to WCW's PPV where Fujinami main evented and faced Ric Flair

Tony said he offered Jade a big offer, and then Jade asked for more money, he gave her a bigger offer, and she still didn't re-sign
Guess she just really wanted to go to WWE at that point

Bryan Alvarez has such a soft spot for the Wayne family.
It’s cute.

Ok they went with Adam Copeland. RIP dreams of Sexton Hardcastle. LOL at Christian dipping once he saw Adam tuning up the spear on Luchasaurus. Just straight, "Nope, want none of that smoke." I think the idea of the former Edge using his real name came from a decade ago when he made a random appearance in Tommy Dreamer's House of Hardcore promotion in its debut show, he was introduced as Adam "Edge" Copeland, so I guess the intentions of using his real name came from long time ago. No, the guys in Alter Bridge can license it to whoever they want.
Beyond that, if I recall correctly, Alter Bridge basically let Edge listen to the song and said, "You can use it." Not to WWE, they offered in to Edge specifically. So, I imagine they weren't needing any cajoling to use it for AEW, too. I think it also adds the fact it was a mainstream song with zero affiliation to WWE aside of them using it. It kinda relate with The Hardys' music in that aspect.

Edge spoke about it at the scrum, not only is the song for him but he's friends with the band, so they were like 'you don't even need to ask.'

Tony is interested in Nakajima, and Nakajima is apparently mutually interested I'd certainly be interested in seeing if that'd work. I am much more familiar with NJPW than NOAH and AJPW in recent times, but Nakajima's got a real reputation. Would be curious to see how Kensuke Sasaki's son figure would take to the new environment.
