And his worst year is still better that a lot of wrestlers can dream of having. He might have been in some odd feuds but he still had some really damn great matches. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoneWolf&Subs Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 I think AJ missing on that list might have more to do with the rumors that he’s leaving next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait, what? That would suck on a billion levels if that was true. If he's heading back to New Japan I could imagine a few others that would have done that before he did.

Why he might do it? I think age, and family might factor in to it. The WWE are probably thinking about using him less in a top spot, and he’ll want a less hectic schedule. Currently we don’t know what kind of schedule the Elite promotion will have, but it might start out as very easy for a wrestler with a family. Plus you know they’ll try to throw a lot of money at him to get him going their way. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikoBaltimore Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Now that you mention it I would be very up for AJ working with them. I can see that working out quite nicely for him. And if that's the case I wonder when The Revival's contracts are up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Edwin Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Yeah, those AJ rumors have been around for a bit as he has not signed a new deal with them and it expires in the next couple of months. And yeah, the reason is the travel heavy schedule as he wanted to spend more time with his family. It would be odd seeing him go though as I remember him saying one of the reasons he originally signed was because he wanted to have a set job working backstage as an agent or something with WWE once he hung up the boots. Given him leaving won't stop that from possibly occurring entirely, but him staying with WWE would give him a better shot at securing that position. Edit: Just read that PWInsider is reporting Anderson and Gallows contracts run until Fall of 2019, so they will be around for a little longer.

LoneWolf&Subs Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Kenny Omega is apparently going to have a HBO documentary. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.reddit.com/r/njpw/comments/a32s3k/new_hbo_documentary_about_kenny_omegagolden/ And from the sounds of it this might be the first official coming out of Kenny too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 AJ is under contract past WM and there's no way anyone else is going to pay him more than WWE, which is why he's angling for less dates and he'll probably get them. Literally anyone could be making to look the jump to a new promotion. In reality, it's hard to say anyone actually would until it happens. So until that point, this is all just talk that's enticing to mainly just us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Cincinnati Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 A guy tried to jump on the Fozzy tour bus in Saskatchewan. Jericho is alleged to have thrown some punches. Vodka sends its regards. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hagan Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Yeah - AJ leaving would be a big shock as he's making career best money at the tail end of his career and is pretty much guaranteed to stay in an upper-midcard/main event level slot for the duration of his run. I doubt he or his family would want to gamble on a new promotion or deal with the international travel back and forth from Japan. Realistically, he has, what, two or three years left and the merch he moves alone is reason enough to stay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 I think we need to wait and see if AEW finds a TV deal or whatever. If they do, it'll be interesting to see if anyone jumps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kang Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 AEW would need a network that not only would reach more viewers but more chances to attract possible new wrestling fans. Even then the ratings would be 1.0 for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arquette is trying, the Nick Gage match was crazy and he didn't realize what exactly he was getting into. Jim needs to go back to talking about the history of territorial wrestling and definitely not current wrestling trends, politics or religion in any way, shape or form. FTFY.
