AEW upping their production values obviously. Sting gets to walk out in the snow. Paul Wight gets to emerge through a cloud of vape smoke.

Paul Wight has always been known behind the scenes for helping other big guys learn to work smarter in the ring. While I'm not the biggest fan of his wrestling I hope he can help Wardlow, Archer, Luchasaurus and future bigger guys they sign sharper their skills.
I legit thought he was a WWE lifer so this is a shocking. |

I’d like to see him get a nice little part-time run where he can be built like the proper attraction that WWE failed so miserably to build him up as.
He’s probably gonna be bumping for Marko Stunt in a month or so though and I’m gonna have to continue to drown my sadness with old wrestling videos. |

He's got value and marketability to his name, which about 95% of wrestlers don't these days. I think it's a great signing. If AEW wants to grow, they need to get more eyeballs on their product then just people who blindly watch wrestling because that's all they've done for 20 years. Big Show's been in movies, tv shows and is well known outside of the wrestling ring.
AEW will use him correctly unlike they way TNA used over the hill wrestlers. I want to believe they;re smarter then the people behind the scenes at TNA or Impact,,whatever the fuck they are called. Great signing Last edited by Loose Cannon; 02-24-2021 at 12:05 PM. |

I remember Big Show busting his ass getting into amazing shape a couple years ago for “one last run” only for them to do nothing with him.

We'll prob get the Shaq match finally. He can helpthe younger guys, and if how they're using Sting is any indication, he'll prob be used to get talent over but not wrestle all that often.

LMAO what the hell? How are they gonna pretend 6'5" guys are monster giants when a legit 7 footer is there?
Tony Khan is wasting so much of his father's money. A BIG money multi year deal for another 50 year old. They will sign ANYBODY! |

Why the fuck would they spoil this?
If Big Show would have come out at the end of the show tonight and choke slammed 2 or 3 people, this would be huge! Instead they spoiled there own show. So fucking dumb. This shit makes Bischoff and the Hall and Nash stuff look even more brilliant. Bischoff was dumb enough to spoil his own show. That really pisses me off. |

If Big Show had shown up unannounced to AEW, that would have ignited things big time. Instead, AEW lacks any creativity just like WWE. It almost feels like WWE is secretly running AEW.

I think it was smart to announce in advance bc it gets them buzz to entice people to tune in.
They've had plenty of surprise appearances on Dynamite, announcing some things in advance is fine with me. |

Remember how much they bragged early on how they didn't want hardly anybody from WWE, yet they have continually signed every former WWE guy possible. Hell at this point AEW is like WWE's retirement plan. "Oh you didn't save your money, go to AEW and get paid!" How long can they honestly play the "hey look we signed a guy that was held back by WWE, but now they are ALL ELITE!" "Hey he and Shaq could finally have the match Shaq was too out of shape to have when he was 7 years younger, and it will be SOOOOOOOO much more Elite on a special edition of Dynamite than at Wrestlemania!" Let's not pretend this is gonna lead to some surge in AEW popularity, it's just gonna be another guy that is gonna have to pretend he is happy jobbing to the Young Bucks while fleecing Tony Khan out of more of his father's money. |
