Juice was recently working for Impact no?

He's had some fantastic matches in the past.

I am not "excited" like I would be for say Keith Lee or Jeff Hardy but he is somebody that I've always wanted in AEW. He should be there instead of others.

There are two potential NJPW guys that could be doing some spots with AEW and mean something, Ospreay and Jay White. Ospreay more because he is so flashy and beloved by the hardcore audience. White may be better on the mic though. Either would be a great addition to AEW and if they go with Ospreay then that means he's going to work with Kenny and in a way that would be a huge deal for AEW.

Like it or not AEW is booking matches that are a draw to the hardcore audience. So a match between Ospreay and Kenny is a wet dream to the wrestlenerd.

This is ideal. I lOVE IT.

Maybe they consider Bray or Braun that big of a deal, but outside of one of them they are setting up everyone to be let down.

That kind of hype is really dangerous. It does make me think it has to be a game changer signing... I guess Bray would lead the pack on that right?

Originally Posted by XL Sounds very reminiscent of TNA going live on Mondays. I fear Tony has oversold this (again). It’ll get me to watch the show on Thursday morning (I’m in the UK) and it might pop a rating, and I’ll probably be quite pleased with whoever it is (unless it’s Juice ) but it would be a let down. Bringing in Wyatt to turn the company upside down kinda like Nexus debuting on Raw could be kind of neat.

I think for a lot of people this will peak interest, and yeah I do fear a disappointment as well. I think the best choice for this spot is Jeff Hardy because of the match with Cassidy who is represented by his brother, and the winner is in a ladder match. Jeff can start an angle turning Matt from his AFHO stable and they do a tag run against some of the great AEW tag teams.
