>>20789658CM Punk! CM Punk! Kek, what a stuck in trannyland bitch
TKO execs checked his height & weight, saw the footage of Punk putting him to sleep and lost all interest.
>>20789658LMAO
>>20789658It was clear with the month of almost daily Bryan Alvarez updates on Perry's contract status that he was hoping to use WWE as a bargaining chip to get more money from Tony but it clearly didn't work with WWE having no interest in him. If I was Tony, I would've lowballed this fag. Where else is he gonna go, TNA?
>>20789658So Fightful knew this, yet ran every story they could about him being this mysterious soon to be free agent who could end up anywhere for weeks and weeks, just so Tony could try and make it seem like a big deal that he re-signed him last night on Dynamite? Which also went unreported until the segment aired despite them always knowing the run sheet for the show?They're totally not in Tony's pocket though
>>20789658Send back into exile in WhoJapan.
>>20789658Do you know how much of an absolute shitter you need to be to be an AEW guy that WWE has zero interest in? That's almost impressive
>>20789658It was real disinterest. Cry me a river
>>20789679
They were afraid of Luchasaurus.
>>20789666Says WWE. I doubt his name even made it up as far to ever reach TKO's desks
>WWE is brokeKWABOTY
>>20789658They want Buddy.
>>20789658This is notable because unless I'm forgetting anyone this is the first name who attempted to jump from AEW to WWE and WWE passed on them. Everyone assumed it was an open door. I guess they've been more selective than people thought. Even more so this has got to send a bleak message to anyone else in AEW who was hoping to make that same leap. It's no longer such a sure thing
>>20789674facts only
>>20789674>he re-signed him last night on Dynamite?Wait, Tony made an angle out of it? Lol! At least pretend it was someone WWE would actually want.
>>20789658He seems like he could be an NXT shitter. But I hope the story's true. Guy sucks.
>>20789696>They couldn't afford... that can't be right, ah yes... Jungle Boy Jack PerryThe fuck kind of cope is this? WWE just signed a handful of new names. They simply didn't want the guy. Perry is the one who went to them for WWE to be able to express that disinterest in the first place
>>20789711>Wait, Tony made an angle out of it? Lol!A whole big video package just like when he re-signed Swerve kekhttps://x.com/AEW/status/2075033502110642382
>>20789723>picrelFucking KEK their faces tell the whole story
>>20789705>Everyone assumed it was an open doorNobody assumed this, and it would be ridiculous to do so
>>20789658>easiest path to success imaginable >fumble it by fucking the wrong shitter
>>20789705QT Marshall
>>20789705>Everyone assumed it was an open door.It was. Now it's closed, unless they're an exception.
>>20789756True. You're right. Valid name for me to forget if I can say so myself kek
>>20789739I think Ethan Page, Lexis King, and Spears getting signed made it seem like that since they were such nonfactors in AEW. So on the outside it looked like WWE was grabbing whoever was leaving, but I guess WWE actually just saw something in them
>>20789705mjf had that whole “bidding war of 2024” gimmick that never led to anything plus no one at wwe wanted him
>>20789658Is this actually news? I wouldn't hire Jack Perry to run a cash register, much less trust him to draw money.
>>20789773>mjf had that whole “bidding war of 2024” gimmickKEK he tried to force that shit for like a year and WWE didn't give a single fuck. Fucking Mariah May had a bigger bidding war over her than MJF did
>>20789754You're not wrong but keep it 100. The chick on the left was a prostitute so her only goal was to get off the streets.Anna Jay can have anyone/anything, not sure why she's slumming in prowrestling.
>>20789658Maybe in AAA, tag team with Mini Vikingo
>>20789773several people in WWE want MJF
>>20789658*debuts on Monday*
>>20789658What's his gimmick supposed to be now?
>>20789718>>20789723I don't believe Jack Perry ever tried to contact WWE. Nor do I believe there's a bidding war for MJF, etc. Tony has been using the same Playbook for 7 years now.
>>20789658Jungle Bitch is the most dimeless shitter alive. Of course WWE didn't want him. Why did a few retards here pretend like they did?
>>20789705They didn't want Hook either
>>20789723What ever happened with the angle where he beat up Tony?
>>20789979you tell me
>>20789705>Everyone assumed it was an open door. I guess they've been more selective than people thoughtlol nobody with half a brain thought it was an open door lmaoIn fact AEW fans have been so busy coping with every single guy they've lost that I now discover, flabbergasted, that they didn't even notice WWE had an extremely targeted talent acquisition policy, essentially taking everybody who can draw money (except Ricky Starks) and leaving the Bucks' fuckbuddies to play fight in the mud Cody and Punk were obvious, Vaquer, Penta, Fenix, had obvious potential especially as WWE was buying AAA, Mariah May same, Hobbs, same, Ethan Page, same, Dnahausen, same, all character-based wrestlers that have potential mainstream appeal. WWE takes people who they think can work, bring something and thrive in their environment and leaves behind the indie guys who can only get over in front of ultra smarks crowds and are proud of it
>>20789963Why does he have a fucking knife lmao
>>20789965Of course Tony lied. It's all he knows how to do.
>>20789963>>20790086He's a rich kid who literally works once a week three months of the year so he picked up knife making in his large amount of spare timeI guess survivalist millionaire nepobaby is the gimmick?
>>20789658They cant afford their current talent, their purging established names like New Day and Sheamus because they refuse to take a 50% salary cut. WWE is literally dying
>>20789965>Paul obsessively collecting literally any AEW scraps he can like Starks, May, Jade, Danhausen ect>Yeah WWE didnt want one of AEW biggest names in MJFKek not beating the rEtard allegations
>>20790125>collecting literally any AEW scraps he canHe's pushed every single one of them and aside from Starks, with successhe doesn't bid for MJF, he offers him a decent contract, then Tony offers him a couple additonal million and that's it because MJF knows he won't make it big in WWE
>>20790080When you're right you're right
>>20790080Kek not a single wrestler in WWE is drawing a single fucking dime and that includes Cody who was the only real wrestler WWE took that Tony fought hard to keep
>>20790114>I guess survivalist millionaire nepobaby is the gimmick?This would be an absolutely 10/10 lowcard comedy character where he talks about rugged survivalism and it's just him not having the right soup spoon
>>20789658>>20789723The disappointment in his face is palpable
>>20790232I told you dummies that Anna Jay already re-upped so Perry re-signing was a foregone conclusion. It's all very boring and predictable.
>>20790176Yes yes, the company that actually makes money has no draws while the company that doesn't make money is full of itand so are you
damn, CM Bitch is that petty?
>>20790232>Yeah I'll sign it. Not like I've got any other options
>>20789674Nah, I think the other guy was right about the journos trying to help Perry get a better deal using stories about WWE's non-existant interest to help him.
>>20789773Why would WWE want MJF when they already have The Miz (the guy MJF always rips off)?
>>20789672Are you saying Bryan ran those stories daily to try and help jungle boy out? Not doubting it as I've heard Bryan has a couple of friends there (Jericho is an obvious one because he's never criticized).
>>20790664I think most times you see a dirtsheet reporting about a contract coming up, it's because that wrestler directly told them and wants that info out there as leverage.
>>20790378I hate AEW just like everybody does but being a midcarder in AEW sounds like a cakewalk.I'm old enough to remember when Orange Cassidy used to wrestle Kylie Rae in high school gyms. She's a great example of feds trying to make her the Face of the Women's Division and she says, "Fuuuuck that!" every time. Working once every 4-6 weeks in the mid card, that's the sweet spot and everyone wants that in AEW. Lazy assholes.
>>20790715FTR had to wrestle twice back in April so they are now taking a 4 month vacation to recover
>>20790080lol fenix was always a workrate guy and no edrone ever thought ethan page was anything more than a vanilla shitter before he got bought
>>20790613the miz is getting old
>>20789658Literally who is Jack Perry? Is he on nxt or something? I only watch the main shows (Raw and Smackdown) on the major league (WWE). I don’t watch any of that other bullshit faggy Indy shit like npwj or awe
>>20790613This. It’s exactly what happened with LA KWAB. They hired “the rock at home” and then the actual the rock showed up lmfao
>>20789658CRY ME A RIVER JACK BITCH!!!
>>20790805I believe there are AEW tier wrestlers in WWE that do not belong. LA Knight is one of them. Ricky Saints obviously. All the black guys. And Chelsea Green.
>>20789658Kek,whatAbitch
>>20790086To assist AEW trannies with cutting their dicks off
>>20789705>This is notableIt really isn't. This isn't Omega or Jay White, it's a fucking nepobaby shitter who never once got over in his entire career. That's like saying "THIS IS BIG NEWS WWE JUST PASSED UP ON SONNY KISS".
>>20791091>Jay WhiteHe sucks
>>20791201He was considered decent before the Tony Fumble
WWE hires literally everybody
>>20789963forgetting more things about pussy than (you)'ll ever know
AEW was always re-signing Perry. This was a worked angle with the IWC who rely on AEW for their content - and relevance - so they just ran with whatever they were told, as usual.
>>20789672>If I was Tony, I would've lowballed this fagAEW contracts are not nearly as lucrative as is reported. It is a smokescreen to make the company look better, i.e., we pay our wrestlers so much more than WWE, to work a more friendly schedule. But since none of AEW's financials are public, there's no way to know that - it's just dirtsheets reporting what they're told.Actual AEW contracts for a guy like Jack Perry are a fraction of his reported "seven-figure salary" which was unbelievable then and laughable now. And you should look into what Swerve actually makes, too.
>>20791369Tony is worth 1.5 billion dollars, his dad about ten times thatTony never earned a dollar in his life but he's beyond filthy rich, this wrestling promotion is a complete vanity project that can lose 100 million a year like it's nothingTony has basically nobody left on his roster that WWE would actually try to bid for. But Tony still has had to overpay massively to get people to his toy fed. He had to compensate the lack of opportunity to get famous in AEW. Now he's stuck with no names nobody else wants to hire but he's still paying big money to them. He could now low-ball at every renegotiation because anybody WWE wanted, they now have. But he's also famously non confrontational and kinda just want to blow his endless money larping as a friendly wrestling promoter, life is so much easier when you can pay people to be friendly to you and suck your every decision rather than them being pissy because they took a cut
>>20791201We wanted Jay when he wasn't crudded up when the troon fed yet. Now he's barely picking up the pieces.
>>20791383>But Tony still has had to overpay massively to get people to his toy fed. He had to compensate the lack of opportunity to get famous in AEW. Now he's stuck with no names nobody else wants to hire but he's still paying big money to them. He could now low-ball at every renegotiation because anybody WWE wanted, they now have.I agree that he is overpaying wrestlers, but it isn't nearly as much as "reported." And you are right about the opportunity cost to fame in AEW, absolutely.
>>20789705Did WWE ever even talk to MJF when he was supposed to be a big free agent a few years back? Pretty sure they just completely passed on him.
>>20791629If WWE signed Shawn Spears, Ethan Page, and Ricky Starks, they DEFINITELY wanted MJF at one point. He's better than all those clowns...but that was 2019-2022. In 2023, MJF's stock went down dramatically. He's been mid ever since. Now, would WWE still sign him just to fuck AEW? I think so. He is their only good talker now.
>>20791647Obviously they would want to take a shot with him, but the issue is that he is on a 7 fig contract. There is no way they are going to try and compete for pay and set a precedent when Danhausen draws more money for far less and they don't need to go all-in and base the main-event scene around him.
>WE NEVER WANTED HIM ANYWAYuh oh Paul is seething he didn't get another AEW toy for his toy box?
>>20791671Not really. No
>>20791201Jay White would have been worth a pretty penny if he signed with WWE when he was first a free agent. If he was to try now he'd probably be laughed away
>>20791713Kek after TKO cutting all their talents salary by 50%, they'll be lucky to sign anyone ever again. They struggled to out bid Tony before, now its pretty much over
>>20790664The Bucks leak stuff to Meltzer. Of course they’re working Tony to help their friend Jungle Goy
>>20789658This was an obvious play to get this faggot a higher paycheck and Tony took the bait without even trying to resist.
Why are they calling it free agency now? This is the NFL, if youre not wrestling youre out of a job
>>20789711Good for them. Any story is better than no story.
>>20789968>HookHoly shit I forgot all about him. Is he still in AEW?
>>20791647Wanting MJF and giving in to what MJF wants to sign him are two different things
>>20790664Jericho has been an infamous source for Meltz/dirt sheets for decades.
>>20795870Is it a sex thing? You know, pillow talk and what not.
>>20795877Attention thing, I reckon. He has been known to be one of Meltzers sources since the WCW days.
"He doesn't fit in the landscape"? unironically what the fuck does that even mean?
>>20792488It's been over. There are no noteworthy free agents left. Except Izzy of course.
>>20789672It would be a disgrace and a blow to AEW morale for Tony to lowball Jungle. Jungle has been one of the original Four Pillars and every time Tony needed Jungle to put the company on his back Jungle has shined through. WWE probably hasn't made an offer because they know he's an AEW lifer and it would bring too much scrutiny from from the AEW faithful who also watch WWE if Triple H wasn't booking Jungle to his potential.
>>20789666Ever seen the Frotxiom guys?
>>20791363>AEW was always re-signing Perry. This was a worked angle with the IWC who rely on AEW for their content - and relevance - so they just ran with whatever they were told, as usual.this
>>20789658Jesus that's embarrassing.
