Will Henry want to come back? Lol. EDIT: Guess so! And the Tates one is just weird. I know I'm arguing semantics, but Miro sits at home for months on end because he doesn't like his booking plans but he's still employed? C'mon. At least be consistent My guess is the Tates had planned segments and didn't show up repeatedly Miro's a case where he always showed up when they got something concrete for him to do, THAT was the part that was hard. |

Big dog, please. I get the concept, I really do, but for the love of all that's good slow down. The roster is already bloated and top heavy. Mone, Okada, and Ospreay were insane signings. I assume he means McIntyre tbh, I still don't think he's re-signed |

The Tate’s seem to be saying that’s not true. Are we believing Kahn at face value? I dunno. The unsubstantiated rumor about Stu is he also didn’t show up to work. Seems like a weird problem to occur if proper scheduling is used and adhered to.

It's just, we sure are hearing a lot of references to AEW trying to book people at the last minute. While obviously the biggest problem would be if they then punish people who say no (and maliciously spin it as "not showing up to work"), no matter what it's obvious signs of shit that is definitively not together. Ugh, I know there's a lot I don't know, but it's hard to resist the growing contempt I have for Tony Khan. For all that he's done well in facilitating a decent and healthy backstage culture, the fact that he clearly mostly cares about constantly amassing expensive new toys he can play with (until he gets bored) is really hurting the quality of the writing and potentially even the company's professionalism. If booking the undercard is the afterest of afterthoughts, to the point they're seriously day-of going, "Who do we have on contract that lives in this city?" that's a bad bad sign. while the boys are showing to really be unprofessionals, I stand by Stu not showing up when called last minute and having plans, that shit is toxic in any work environment |

The Tate's are also being dickheads on Twitter for no reason so currently I'm believing Khan at them being unprofessional and not showing to work. |

So… did all of us angry fans pressure Tony into giving an injured person their job back? Am I reading all of this wrong? He said he would bring him back when he’s no longer injured. I really hope that doesn’t mean he’s not gonna be paying him until he’s healthy. Good for Anthony Henry but I’d have a really hard time resigning with someone because they got guilted into it by an online mob (justified or not) |

Those two things do not appear to have anything to do with one another? I mean sure, a lot we don't know. I am definitely NOT assuming that the company would try to book people last-minute, then fire them SOLELY for saying no and maliciously then spin it as deserved because of unprofessionalism. That's, like, unnecessary levels of evil. But I am saying it's bad enough if they're trying to book people last-minute. |

Unless you're flying these guys out every week on your own dime, no one should be just showing up backstage in the hopes of you getting used. It sounds like Stu and The Boys were told last minute about something, said no, and were then deemed expendable. And that's shitty as hell, let people know if they're being used ahead of time, people aren't toys you can just pull from a toybox, they have their own lives going on first and foremost. |

But if Tony is lying about them, I’d be mad too. I don’t know if Twitter behavior completely cuts their credibility, but I definitely would like to hear from them and Stu do a better picture can be painted. |

I have said for months the answer is not hiring new people. Even before Okada and will and even Jay he had plenty of great choices.
It's his fault for choosing to focus on shoehorning roh and people like kingdom and Jay Lethal instead

Maybe take that money he's now saving and invest in some quality Human Resources and logistics people.
Also at least one co-booker, but he probably needs at least three.

A billionaire firing a handful of lower card guys so he can throw millions at other wrestlers.
I'm not sure I follow the logic there.

I assume he means McIntyre tbh, I still don't think he's re-signed Considering Drew is heavily featured on the Clash at the Castle 2024 ppv which is in June, what makes you think he’s not resigning? |

I’m not saying he is or isn’t but it wouldn’t be the first time a poster has been changed because someone wasn’t signed or able to work at a show. Like, they must be sure they have signed him to put him on the poster but there is a reason the bottom of the posters usually include the word “Card subject to change”. |

When's his contract supposed to be up? If it's after June, no harm in putting the most prolific Scottish wrestler you have on the poster for a big event in his home country. |

Looking at the current WWE Roster, there is only one person that AEW should consider signing : AJ STYLES!

Considering Drew is heavily featured on the Clash at the Castle 2024 ppv which is in June, what makes you think he’s not resigning? When's his contract supposed to be up? It got extended “past WrestleMania 40” from what Fightful reported because of the injury he was out with so, in theory, he could do Clash at the Castle and leave after that but that’s vague speculation on my end. |
