I also love this idea that AEW letting a wrestler's contract expire or even offering them a new deal that the wrestler declines is somehow far worse for everyone involved than the WWE system where any given moment of any given day you might get a company-wide text that just lists the people that are fired immediately in the most impersonal way possible.

i swear i also saw a report that angels is going to continue to do per-appearance deals for aew so he's not even gone and even if that wasn't true, he's 24 and could easily return to the company in the future after doing some indies runs (or go to japan??)

It’s a pretty smart move on his part.

This is literally how wrestling used to work all the time. Guys sign contracts, those contracts run out, they go somewhere else. Maybe they come back, maybe they don't, but it's not the end of the world. This new mindset is another byproduct of WWE's US hegemony, where guys sign there and just stay there forever, until you look up and Dolph Ziggler is on his 16th Royal Rumble appearance. Here's my spicy take: guys should leave AEW. They should leave and come back and then leave again, because talent movement is good for the industry.

i don't think anyone would know if he declined a pay per appearance deal besides him. likje if he was the source on that. it's not like you are still signed to aew but only get paid when you appear. it's the same thing as booking dates anywhere.

He was the source on that. Sean Ross Sapp did an interview with him and Angels said he wanted to focus on an indies run over the pay-per-appearance opportunity they offered him. Alvarez/F4W was the original source saying Angels would do per-appearance stuff after his contract expired, and although that guy can be funny as a radio host he does not seem to be a very reliable reporter

The first two points are actually correct. How the hell do you gently caress up Ruby's name after almost a year? And I rolled my eyes painfully at "jezebel". I didn't hear anyone refer to Claudio as Cesaro though but if that happened then lmfao what are they even doing?

And some of them sounded like can't miss pure gold hits. Meanwhile the higher ups kept making deals with complete morons who came to Dan with ideas like "hey our research shows that colour runs are popular with the New Day's demographics, so maybe the New Day guys could do a colour run and stream themselves doing it and interact with the audience to drive engagement", and everyone was completely baffled because the ideas didn't make a loving bit of sense and were just some marketing bros slapping together buzzwords they heard somewhere. Towards the end of his time there they weren't even recording new episodes of existing podcasts because the WWE didn't care and were just happy running reruns and best of episodes to fulfill contractual obligations with advertisers.
