you put effort into putting that list together and you're probably right so without me having the willpower to drum up something to dispute it I'm just going to say well done and you're likely correct

Boiling everything down to a list of matches kinda removes the context of what the people are doing, to be fair. Like Christ Jericho has had 2 televised matches in 2022 but you can't really say he's not doing anything.

i wouldn't be surprised if we get some sort of movement towards stables with the people who are kind of floating, especially with the danielson/mox stuff happening. presumably after next week's ppv we'll also see how things are going

My point (which got carried away by looking things up sorry if that is stupid and/or uncool) is that if AEW could opt not to renew the contracts of all of the dozen or two people who people are convinced they're going to release (Marko, Janela, Kazarian, Men of the Year, Chaos Project, Jake Hager, Colt Cabana, half of the Dark Order, half of the Nightmare Factory, Hybrid 2] and it would "open up" a vanishingly small amount of actual TV time. Like I said, the list is misleading when you have Moxley/Kingston/Jericho/Omega/etc. so low on the list since they were out, plus all of those people get a lot of interview time that doesn't count towards match counts. But that's not going to be solved by roster cuts/non-renewals, unless there is like a separate contract for "CM Punk cuts babyface promo to city" that is up for renegotiation. This is also entirely separate from whether or not they SHOULD or if I would personally rather see like a fifteen minute Uno/Grayson vs. Butcher & Blade match instead of "CM Punk cuts babyface promo to city" segment, I absolutely would. But not renewing Frankie Kazarian's contract is not likely to fix that. Edge & Christian fucked around with this message at 20:52 on Feb 27, 2022 |

Yeah, I don't think anybody who's getting TV time is in jeopardy of 1) wanting to leave or 2) being asked to leave. I loathe the typical "this isn't WWE" answer to legitimate concerns but this is one of like three times it's actually relevant; how much TV shows they do or don't need isn't really dependent on the people whose contracts are about to be done who haven't been used on any of the shows they already have Sonny Kiss rules, I'd like to see them stay and get paid but I'd also like to see them get to work and I don't think whatever occurs with that will have anything to do with a possible third TV show or third Youtube show that may already also be planned. As we see with Buddy just signed and Swerve and Jeff Hardy coming soon, talent's going to keep coming regardless

cage reportedly having his contract renewed for a year (unless he's entirely bullshitting about it) seems to me to imply that few contracts are going to expire without the talent having good reasons to move on

A lot of people were dead certain Peter Avalon was gone and then he just, kept appearing so things aren't really as simple as "People who aren't on TV every week are in constant peril of being cut"

AEW wrestlers can still work elsewhere while under contract. I think that'll make it so less people are not renewed.

Swerve said something along the lines of “see you in AEW” to Nick Wayne after their DEFY match last night so I am definitely expecting to see him pop up on my TV sooner than later.

Evans had a match, and he had Angelico and Jora with him, so I guess they're still with AHFO too.

Blake Christian got a win and Josh Woods, current ROH Pure Champion, got a win and post match promo time from the Dark tapings. They were also recording crowd audio for the AEW game so no idea how far in dev cycle that would be for the AEW game.

I kind of want to see the House of Black sitting down and giving Danhausen a job interview. Just play it completely straight. Maybe Brody King, wearing reading glasses obviously, would write in a little notebook while saying "interesting..."

Impact Wrestling tapings from yesterday: -Raj Singh defeated Omar Amir -Jordynne Grace defeated Havok -Karl Anderson defeated Deaner in match taped for BTI. Afterward, the Good Brothers demanded a rematch with Violent By Design for the tag titles. Santino was on commentary for this and the previous two bouts. -Josh Alexander did a promo and was interrupted by Honor No More who then attacked him. Team Impact ran out to make the save. -Willie Mack defeated Kenny King with Team Impact and Honor No More banned from ringside. -Ace Austin defeated John Skyler and Crazy Steve in a three-way qualifying match for a shot at X-Division Champion Trey Miguel at Rebellion. -Mickie James, Chelsea Green and The IInspiration defeated Knockouts Tag Team Champions The Influence, Knockouts Champion Tasha Steelz and Savannah Evans -Jay White called out Alex Shelley for a Too Sweet moment. The two went back and forth until Chris Sabin joined Shelley on the ramp which led to a tag team match of MCMG vs White and Chris Bey later. -Eddie Edwards defeated Rich Swann -Steve Maclin defeated Rhino -Bhupinder Guijar defeated Larry D. After the match, W. Morrissey went after Brian Myers at ringside but Guijar threw Raj Singh at Morrissey which led to more issues. -ROH Women's Champion and AAA Reina de Reinas Champion Deonna Purrazzo defeated Gisele Shaw and Lady Frost in a three-way Champ Champ challenge -JONAH defeated Zicky Dice. After the match, PCO came out on a stretcher, sat up, and had a pull-apart brawl with JONAH. -Masha Slamovich defeated Arie Alexander -The Motor City Machine Guns defeated Jay White and Chris Bey -Josh Alexander defeated Matt Taven MCMG/Bullet Club sounds rad, ngl

Yeah, there was no way they weren't reforming Motor City Machine Guns once they got Shelley back. They were namedropping them all over his match with Jay at Sacrifice.

Oh, I know it was going to happen, just pointing out that it sounds like a killer match. It’s kind of crazy how the Motor City Machine Guns and the Good Brothers have never shared the same ring, and I imagine that that gets rectified at Rebellion.
