Warhorse : No Real Contract?

I never heard of Warhorse until he battled Cody Rhodes during the Pandemic Era for the TNT Championship. It was a good match. Hated how it ended. Warhorse tapped out to Rhodes and the Dark Order attacked them and then Matt Cardona came out and helped Rhodes out which led to some matches of them vs The Dark Order, but no Warhorse?

Especially during that time when a lot of wrestlers were staying home, I would’ve thought Warhorse would at least be there for a few more matches. I don’t know all the ins and outs of AEW contracts, but I remember Eddie Kingston had a similar match with Rhodes and got a contract right after. Fuego Del Sol somehow has an AEW contract and Warhorse doesn’t?

I admit my knowledge of Warhorse is limited to that one AEW match and some clips I saw on YouTube, but it looks like he can wrestle. He can sell, has a nice look, is unique, definitely someone who shouldn’t be overlooked so quickly. If not AEW then I’d like to see him head to Impact and see what happens. Warhorse vs Josh Alexander would be a fun match to watch. Maybe have him take on Eric Young, Christian Cage and Moose would all be great matches to watch.

So what do you guys think of Warhorse and what brand would you like to see him on?

Warhorse : No Contract?

I Wouldn’t Sign Them

Can't Knock The Hustle: What Does AEW Do With CM Punk & Bryan Danielson?

I’ve been flip flopping on this one for a while. When I heard the rumors of CM Punk and Bryan Danielson making the move to AEW I first wrote “I wouldn’t sign them,” I would’ve rather AEW focus on the talent and stop bringing in new guys.

Then when they showed up I wrote “I was totally wrong. This is an amazing moment for wrestling fans. I can’t wait to see what happens,”. And now my opinion is “I wouldn’t have signed them and would rather AEW focus on the talent already there,”. CM Punk is putting on great matches. Seems like a dream match every week. But again, he’s taking time away from other AEW talent and there is so much there that a lot of them get pushed aside.

Now Danielson is next in line for an AEW Championship match. What about Lance Archer, Brian Cage, Pac, the 4 Pillars and others? Every time AEW signs one of these big-name talents, everyone on the roster gets pushed down a peg. Realistically, I would rather see Danielson challenge Hangman Page for the title rather than a Pentagon or a Sammy Guevara, but still, I would rather them get a shot at a main event match and build off of that.

That was what CM Punk argued with Vince McMahon and Triple H about at the end of his WWE tender. He wanted that WrestleMania main event to build his character more and put him into that top tier of wrestlers.

I’m not saying these aren’t great matches the two men are having. It’s just storyline we aren’t seeing a lot of other talents getting the top spots like they deserve.
