drat, Bronson is incredibly straight forward and to point. No "big things in the works, you'll have to wait and see! ^_^" tweet like all the other released people.

Bronson is like the bizarro Keith Lee, just spits it out.

I think we just kinda got a bit of underlying trauma from wcw's 300 man roster and tna's ex-wwe worshipping. Also alot of aew homegrowns are already struggling a little for tv time. Regardless I still think they need every woman that has experience they can grab.

Yeah, while I personally love Kona Reeves I am very realistic about most of the prospects of most of those releases, but Mercedes is an absolute no-brainer, and the fact that they already got her once should indicate that.

And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.

And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

That's what they signed for cause part of the deal was to be able to work (WWE approved) Indies. Of course everybody mocked them at the time as it was going to kill the UK indy scene and whelp...here we are

And if I were a western company I would be thinking twice about signing Bobby Fish. Dude is just one or two steps removed from being Drake Wuertz levels of insane when it comes to QAnon bullshit. He's just not as vocal about his support on social media, but he's shown support for the movement and such before.

WWE has released 52 wrestlers this year. How many have AEW signed? Andrade and Black?

Last year they signed Tay Conti, FTR, Miro, Brodie Lee and Matt Hardy out another probably 50 release wrestlers.

Am I missing more? They seem to sign notable people.

Then there are people that are just notable that had their contracts expire like Sting and supposedly Punk and Bryan
