Nice Guy Eddie 19,563 Posted February 20 Maybe we'll see a Juice Robinson-type situation with Dillinger betting on himself to succeed outside of WWE and doing so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
just drew 1,453 Posted February 20 Not surprised. He’s a Cody Rhodes guy. We’ll see him again... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oyaji 7,425 Posted February 20 Please no. Don't grant it, WWE. Keep him hidden for years. Dillinger is the very definition of Just A Guy. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LoneWolf&Subs 4,416 Posted February 20 I believe in Tye, and he deserves more. Guys a talented blue-collar worker. Creative having nothing for him was a real bullshit shame. He had a lot of similarities to DDP in that he was the one who truly believed in himself, and worked hard for it(Also the 10 thing was Page’s first). That eventually got him a prominent spot on NXT. Wherever he goes I hope he’s used more to his full potential. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Craig H 10,499 Posted February 20 I used to think Tye was just a jobber, time filler on NXT, and pretty useless. Then all of a sudden he explodes with charisma and became pretty captivating to watch. That said, I have no idea if he's a good fit for ROH, NJPW, AEW, TNA, or any other promotion. I mean, I'm sure TNA would scoop him up. They'd probably take anyone if they could.

MORELOCK 2,596 Posted February 20 I feel like Dillinger is the exact type of guy that AEW should avoid hiring if they're concerned with being WWE-lite. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chanandlerbong 78 Posted February 20 15 hours ago, Edwin said: Teddy Hart has always been on fire. He never got a proper run anywhere unfortunately, but that's due to him being Teddy. Absolutely no way to rebuild the bridges that he's burned over the years. Like you say, he's always been a great talent and he seems effortless in-ring but this also means you can easily tell when he's phoning it in. Promos are okay but a bit wooden and one-note but would probably be about as good as the rest of the Hart crew were back in the day in the WWE machine. I'm not sure he could or would want to behave long enough to make it to a 'Mania - seeing a cat on the turnbuckle at Wrestlemania would be pretty great, though.

Sky Blue Sam 668 Posted February 20 Tye to AEW is basically nailed on if his release is granted. Him and Cody have been tight since they feuded in developmental. Even if he isn't used much as a wrestler, he'll be involved somehow Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It'd be a great WrestleMania moment when the cat became the first non-human (?) to score a pinfall at WrestleMania. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tye’s an underused great hand to have. Maybe even be a great fit in a tag team, with a young up, and comer. It’s not like hiring a guy like Ryback who will only show up for a paycheck, then fuck off to the wrestling conventions to sell his shitty protein shakes. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think Tye would be better than Ryder, just because he is more underused. It will be a lot easier for him to reinvent himself. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zakk_Sabbath 2,236 Posted February 20 It's pretty impressive Dillenger's hung around this long (though I sort of remember someone mentioning on Curt Hawkins' Developmentally Speaking series that he'd been released and brought back, unless I'm thinking of someone else) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That, and he’s just hungrier for a chance. Like I know some people don’t care for Tye’s gimmick, but he tried his ass off, and had some fun programs on Smackdown when given the opportunity.
