>“Dude, I’m hoping — it’s just a week-by-week thing,” he said when asked about his return timeline. “I had a small back surgery done a couple months ago… You play long enough, the bill comes due. I’ve had a major surgery every frickin’ year! For about the past five — whether it’s a knee surgery or a hip surgery… I feel like that old pickup truck. Like, OK, what’s broken now?”>“Tony Khan’s been extremely supportive, so we’re just plugging away. I don’t plan on going anywhere. I like being in AEW.”>“The last thing I’m gonna do is go out in that ring and have people go, ‘aww, poor Paul. They should just kill him, like Old Yeller or something.’ We’re not gonna have that. If I’m not out there humping and bumping and getting after everything and slapping people’s souls out of their chest… then it’s time to hang up the boots.”>“We’re still moving forward, there’s progress being made. Everything I’m dealing with now is mostly soft tissue, getting that stuff to work… we’ll get that back and we’ll be in the ring.”>“Trust me, I see the opportunity in AEW, I see the chances too. To have fun with the talent in the back, to entertain the fans, the financial gains for being able to compete at a more full-time schedule. Yeah, believe me, I’m salivating over here, 100 percent.”
>>19401265Dude destroyed his legacy. Imagine going from "Big Show" to "Paul "Wight"
>>19401265Why did he go to AEW? At his peak in the company, he was the Charles Barkley to Mark Henry's Shaq on the YouTube shows.
>>19401265>I don’t plan on going anywhere. I like being in AEW.i guess so since he is being paid to do absolutely nothing and it seems even his medical bills are being taken care ofdude is mid 50s and so broken down he is getting surgery on a yearly basis yet thinks he is going to make an in ring return? plus absolutely nobody wants to see him wrestle ever again because he only did one move really well, the chokeslam, that popped the crowd but he stopped doing it the way he did it in wcw over 25yrs ago
>>19401294He knows Tony will give him a pity retirement match against somebody since Sting got one.
>>19401294He'll just be jobber #11 in the next irrelevant forgetful tournament. He'll have no "run"
He needs to not do that, he can barely walk and he should have more than enough money. It especially won't work in AEW which requires athleticism.
>>19401295>>19401296>He'll have no "run">>19401302>he can barely walki just remember the last time he was in his ring gear and announced for the only match he had in aew. he just stood at the top of the ramp and his one leg looked so crooked no way he can move properly anymore. he sounds delusional
>>19401265there is no fucking way that he can have a full time run. not a chance in hell. if he does he'll just destroy his body again and all those surgeries will be for naught.he might be able to get away with having a retirement match but that's it. he should not be a full time wrestler if he values his health.
>>19401265>the financial gains for being able to compete at a more full-time schedule. Yeah, believe me, I’m salivating over here, 100 percentI thought beeg was smart with his money? Let's be real we all know he's not coming back for the love of the game.
>>19401275Because Tony is paying him way too much to do way too little and he'd be stupid not to take the deal. If he stayed in WWE he'd either be expected to wrestle frequently or get released if creative had nothing for him. Tony is more than happy to pay him to sit on his big fat ass
Never ever get back surgeries bros especially anything spine related, even if small. It's more likely to make things worse.
>>19401265>‘aww, poor Paul. They should just kill him, like Old Yeller or something.’
Reminder Big Show crying added over 1.5m viewers to the segment and outdrew Rock's segmentsThis is Tony's chance
>>19401265Another former star going out under the radar out of the public spotlight in a pissant retirement toy fedDon’t cry for me I’m already dead
